De entre todos los grandes filósofos del pensamiento occidental, Aristóteles es quizá el más inabarcable. Sus investigaciones en disciplinas tan diversas como la metafísica, la ética, la física, la biologia, la psicologia, la logica, la poetica o la retorica han sido influyentes durante siglos. Todas estas facetas de su obra y su filosofia, ademas de su vida, quedan diafanamente analizadas en este libro de David W. Ross, uno de los mas eminentes especialistas en Aristoteles del ultimo siglo. Mas alla de la elaboracion de consideraciones criticas, este ensayo explica de un modo muy clarificador los rasgos del pensamiento aristotelico, por lo que se erige como una referencia ineludible para estudiar al filosofo griego.

Aristóteles fue preceptor de Alejandro Magno. La historia no registra detalles de esta relación, pero sabemos que, con el tiempo, Alejandro estuvo a punto de firmar la sentencia de muerte de su maestro, si bien acabo por olvidarse del tema y, en su lugar, se dispuso a invadir la India. De no ser por este golpe de suerte, habriamos perdido al hombre cuya filosofia habia de dominar el pensamiento occidental durante cerca de dos milenios. Gracias a Aristoteles, no obstante, el mundo medieval persistio en sus creencias de que el Sol giraba alrededor de la Tierra y que todo estaba compuesto de tierra, aire, fuego y agua. En Aristoteles en 90 minutos, Paul Strathern expone de manera clara y concisa la vida e ideas de quien fuera, para santo Tomas de Aquino, "el filosofo" por antonomasia. El libro incluye asimismo una seleccion de los principales escritos aristotelicos, y una lista cronologica de fechas filosoficas importantes.

Las obras de Aristóteles concentran la totalidad de la sabiduría griega de la Antigüedad e inauguran la ciencia y la metafísica occidentales. Filósofo a la par que científico, Aristóteles se interesó

En el Libro I de la Política, Aristóteles expone su controvertida teoría de la esclavitud natural. Según ésta, hay hombres que nacen para servir —los bárbaros y salvajes— y otros para mandar —las gen

Grotes literary style is characterized by a rigorous analytical approach, intertwining detailed exegesis with clear exposition, allowing readers to navigate Aristotles vast contributions to ethics, metaphysics, and the sciences.

As a Man Thinketh is a literary essay and book by James Allen. It was described by Allen as "... [dealing] with the power of thought, and particularly with the use and application of thought to happy and beautiful issues. I have tried to make the book simple, so that all can easily grasp and follow its teaching, and put into practice the methods which it advises. It shows how, in his own thought-world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances. The price of the book is only one shilling, and it can be carried in the pocket." It was also described by Allen as "A book that will help you to help yourself", "A pocket companion for thoughtful people", and "A book on the power and right application of thought." The title is influenced by a verse in the Bible from the Book of Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he". The full passage, taken from the King James Version, is as follows: Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. While the passage suggests that one should consider the true motivations of a person who is being uncharacteristically generous before accepting his generosity, the title and content of Allens work refer to the reader himself. Allens essay is now in the public domain within the United States and most other countries. It was released October 1, 2003 as a Project Gutenberg e-text edition.

Beyond Good and Evil is a book by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche that expands the ideas of his previous work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, with a more critical and polemical approach. In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of lacking critical sense and blindly accepting dogmatic premises in their consideration of morality. Specifically, he accuses them of founding grand metaphysical systems upon the faith that the good man is the opposite of the evil man, rather than just a different expression of the same basic impulses that find more direct expression in the evil man. The work moves into the realm "beyond good and evil" in the sense of leaving behind the traditional morality which Nietzsche subjects to a destructive critique in favour of what he regards as an affirmative approach that fearlessly confronts the perspectival nature of knowledge and the perilous condition of the modern individual.Of the four "late-period" writings of Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil most closely resembles the aphoristic style of his middle period. In it he exposes the deficiencies of those usually called "philosophers" and identifies the qualities of the "new philosophers": imagination, self-assertion, danger, originality, and the "creation of values." He then contests some of the key presuppositions of the old philosophic tradition like "self-consciousness,""knowledge,""truth," and "free will," explaining them as inventions of the moral consciousness. In their place, he offers the "will to power" as an explanation of all behavior; this ties into his "perspective of life," which he regards as "beyond good and evil," denying a universal morality for all human beings. Religion and the master and slave moralities feature prominently as Nietzsche re-evaluates deeply held humanistic beliefs, portraying even domination, appropriation and injury to the weak as not universally objectionable.

Jorge Luis Borges philosophical fiction and Platos intellectual dramas are perhaps the most intricate records in Western history of attempts to artfully interweave mythos and logos, argumentation and narrative, thought and imagination. Their juxtaposition, presented in the following study, aims at demonstrating the complex connections between classical and modern literature and thought. The study shows how the Platonic viewpoint sheds new light on Borges essayistic and fictional work, providing what Wittgenstein calls an aspect change in considering Borges literary and theoretical work as a whole textual corpus. The first part of the study deals with three theoretical themes: the interrelation of myth and logos, the quest for knowledge, and the theory of the archetypes. The second part is more aesthetically oriented, attending to artistic inspiration, literary representation, narrative identity, the nature of the written word, the act of reading, and the act of writing. All in all, the study strives to manifest the extent to which Borges thought is deeply rooted in classical doctrines and Platonic themes, and, based on that, to provide new interpretations to Borgesian stories and poems.
