The book is called "Tablets" because it consists of random notes and thoughts on topics like gardens, relations, friends, women, pleasures, and recreations written down on tablets or notebooks, among other daily routines.

Euthyphro by Plato, is a Socratic dialogue whose events occur in the weeks before the trial of Socrates. The dialogue occurred between Socrates and Euthyphro and covers subjects such as the meaning of piety and justice. As is common with Platos earliest dialogues, it ends in aporia. In this dialogue, Socrates meets Euthyphro at the porch of the King Archon. Socrates tells him that he is preparing to go to court against the charges of Meletus on the grounds of impiety. Euthyphro tells Socrates that he is going to court himself to prosecute his father for binding a worker in chains and leaving him to die. This has granted him the ire of his own family who believe his father was in the right. The worker had killed a fellow worker, which they believe exempts his father from liability for leaving him bound in the ditch to starve to death. Since Euthyphro seems assured of himself, Socrates asks him to define piety. His help will clarify Socrates case in the courtroom. If Socrates is asked to define piety, he can simply rely on Euthyphros definition. This however leads to the main dilemma of the dialogue when the two cannot come to a satisfactory conclusion. Is something pious because the gods approve of it or do the gods approve of it because it is pious? This aporic ending has led to one of the longest theological and meta-ethical debates in history.

The following work is a collection of essays by Cicero, regarding friendship and old age. The Treatise on Friendship is written as a dialogue between prominent figures of the Middle Roman Republic and is set after the death of the younger Scipio Africanus (otherwise known as Scipio Aemilianus, Scipio Africanus Minor or Scipio the Younger). The interlocutors of the dialogue chosen by Cicero are Gaius Laelius, a close friend of the late statesman, and Laeliuss two sons-in-law, Gaius Fannius, and Quintus Mucius Scaevola. As for The Treatise of Old Age, it was written by Cicero in his sixty-third year, and is addressed to his friend Atticus. Cicero represents the discourse as delivered by the elder Cato (in his eighty-fourth year) on occasion of young Scipio and Laelius expressing their admiration at the wonderful ease with which he still bore the load of life. Cicero acknowledges that the sentiments put into the mouth of Cato are really Ciceros own. His purpose is to show that old age is not only tolerable, but comfortable by internal resources of happiness.

In "Walk in the Light While There is Light," Leo Tolstoy presents a thought-provoking exploration of morality, faith, and the nature of goodness. Written in a reflective and philosophical style, the book consists of a series of essays and meditations that revolve around the ethical dilemmas faced by individuals in their personal and collective lives. Tolstoys prose is both lyrical and incisive, engaging readers to confront challenging moral questions within the context of their spiritual and social environments, echoing the literary tradition of Russian realism while simultaneously projecting his own spiritual crisis onto the broader canvas of human experience. Leo Tolstoy, one of the giants of Russian literature, is known for his monumental works such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina." A deeply spiritual man grappling with existential questions, Tolstoys later life saw him embark on a quest for a simpler, more meaningful existence. His quest for authenticity and understanding of Gods will is vividly portrayed in this collection, making it a reflection of his evolving philosophical and theological beliefs, especially his emphasis on love, moral integrity, and social responsibility. "Walk in the Light While There is Light" is highly recommended for readers interested in philosophical literature that transcends time and cultural boundaries. Tolstoys insights not only resonate with those grappling with ethical challenges today but also illuminate the profound spiritual undercurrents intrinsic to human existence, making this work an essential read for anyone seeking to explore the depths of human morality and purpose.

In "Meditations," Marcus Aurelius presents a profound exploration of Stoic philosophy through a series of personal writings that illuminate his introspective thoughts and moral reflections. Composed during his military campaigns, this seminal work is characterized by its contemplative style and direct prose, offering a window into the mind of a Roman Emperor grappling with the vicissitudes of life. The contextual backdrop of the Roman Empire, coupled with Aureliuss engagement with themes such as duty, virtue, and the nature of existence, positions "Meditations" as a timeless dialogue on the human condition. The text serves not only as a guide for personal resilience but also as an ethical compass in an often tumultuous world. Marcus Aurelius, a stoic philosopher and the last of the Five Good Emperors of Rome, penned these reflections as a means of self-improvement and moral fortitude. His unique position at the intersection of philosophy and leadership informs the depth and sincerity of his insights. Influenced by the Stoic doctrine and his experiences, he sought to cultivate inner peace and rational thinking amidst the chaos of his reign, ultimately leaving a legacy that continues to inspire. I highly recommend "Meditations" to readers seeking wisdom in both personal and philosophical realms. It provides invaluable lessons in self-discipline, empathy, and the acceptance of lifes challenges. Whether approached as a historical artifact or a self-help manual, Aureliuss meditations resonate deeply across ages, offering guidance and solace in the pursuit of a virtuous life.

Baruch Spinozas seminal work, Ethics, presents a groundbreaking philosophical system built on the foundations of rationalism and a unique interpretation of the nature of God, the universe, and humanity.

The book challenges traditional views on religion and morality, asserting that understanding the natural world leads to a profound sense of freedom and ethical living, positioning it as a cornerstone of modern philosophical discourse. Born in Amsterdam in 1632 to a Portuguese Jewish family, Spinozas upbringing in a diverse cultural milieu profoundly influenced his thinking. His critical stance towards organized religion and the established norms of his time stemmed from a desire for intellectual honesty and ethical clarity. Despite facing excommunication and personal challenges, Spinozas relentless pursuit of truth imbued his work with a radical spirit, making him one of the key figures of the Enlightenment and the modern philosophical tradition. Ethics is essential for readers interested in philosophy, theology, and ethics, offering deep insights into the nature of existence and the human condition.

In "Nicomachean Ethics," Aristotle explores the nature of human happiness and the path to achieving a virtuous life. Written in a didactic yet accessible style, the text synthesizes empirical observations with philosophical inquiries, providing a foundational perspective on ethics that bridges both moral theory and practical application. Aristotle meticulously categorizes virtues, distinguishing between intellectual and moral types, and presents the concept of the "Golden Mean," where ethical behavior lies between extremes. This work, set against the backdrop of Classical Greek philosophy, engages with contemporaneous ethical debates and serves as a pivotal reference in Western moral thought. Aristotle, one of the most influential philosophers in history, draws upon his extensive experience as a student of Plato and as a teacher at the Lyceum. His wide-ranging inquiries into biology, politics, and metaphysics culminate in this ethical treatise, reflecting his belief that philosophical contemplation must inform practical living. Aristotles scholarly backdrop and his commitment to exploring the intricacies of human character are evident throughout the text, inviting readers to ponder the relationship between virtue and personal fulfillment deeply.

In "The Theory of Moral Sentiments," Adam Smith delves into the intricacies of human morality, exploring the frameworks of sympathy, ethics, and human behavior that underpin social interactions. Written in a style that marries philosophical discourse with psychological inquiry, Smiths seminal work offers a profound examination of the inherent tendencies of human beings toward empathy and judgment. Set against the backdrop of the Enlightenment, this text not only critiques prevailing moral theories but also establishes a foundation for the moral philosophy that would later influence economic thought, culminating in his magnum opus, "The Wealth of Nations." Adam Smith, often hailed as the father of modern economics, was profoundly influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, particularly in moral philosophy. Engaging with the ideas of contemporaries such as David Hume and Rousseau, Smith sought to reconcile individual self-interest with collective well-being, reflecting his deep concern for social harmony. His personal experiences and observations on human relationships undoubtedly shaped his insights into the moral sentiments that govern human interactions. For those interested readers seeking a deeper understanding of moralitys role in society and the foundations of ethical behavior, "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" is essential.
