This book is a critical examination of Michel Foucaults relation to ancient Greek thought, in particular his famous analysis of Greek history of sexuality. Wolfgang Detel offers a new understanding of Foucault''s theories of power and knowledge based on modern analytical theories of science and concepts of power. He offers a fresh and complex reading of the texts which Foucault discusses, covering topics such as Aristotles ethics and theory of sex, Hippocratic dietetics, the earliest treatises on economics, and Platos theory of love. The result is a philosophically rich and probing critique of Foucault''s later writings, and a persuasive account of the relation between ethics, power and knowledge in classical antiquity. His book will have a wide appeal to readers interested in Foucault and in Greek thought and culture.

In this study, Tom Sorell seeks to rehabilitate views that are often instantly dismissed in analytic philosophy. His book serves as a reinterpretation of Cartesianism and responds directly to the dislike of Descartes in contemporary philosophy. To identify what is defensible in Cartesianism, Sorell starts with a picture of unreconstructed Cartesianism, which is characterized as realistic, antisceptical but respectful of scepticism, rationalist, centered on the first person, dualist, and dubious of the comprehensiveness of natural science and its supposed independence of metaphysics. Bridging the gap between history of philosophy and analytic philosophy, Sorell also shows for the first time how some contemporary analytic philosophy is deeply Cartesian, despite its outward hostility to Cartesianism.

Aunque de orientación general clásicamente académica, la novedad a la que aspira esta obra responde a una concepción de la filosofía como una reflexión a realizar sobre el conjunto de la cultura occidental a partir de la Grecia clasica, con interes especial en el saber cientifico y otras areas que incluyen la literatura, el arte y la religion; en definitiva, trata de situar la historia de la filosofia en el conjunto de la historia cultural, en el marco del desarrollo de la sociedad y sus estructuras.La obra, constituida por tres volumenes, debido a su caracter interdisciplinar ofrece facilidad en la comprension, y tiene, ademas de su innegable interes academico, un gran atractivo para aquellos no profesionales de la enseñanza con curiosidad por el saber humanistico.

Questo volume dell'Epistolario copre un quinquennio fondamentale nella vita di Nietzsche. Dopo la stesura della Nascita della tragedia e delle Considerazioni inattuali, egli comincia ad avvertire il peso della filologia come mestiere e avvia quel processo di emancipazione della metafisica e di ricerca della "liberta di pensiero" che lo allontanera definitivamente da Schopenhauser e da Wagner.

Il pensiero greco e l''alpha e l''omega della filosofia. Forte di questa convinzione - da lui tradotta nella sentenza "la filosofia nasce grande" Heidegger ha cercato di mostrare come i concetti fondamentali coniati dai greci abbiano segnato il destino della civilta occidentale. Lungo il suo itinerario speculativo, egli e percio tornato di continuo a misurarsi con la grecita filosofica, al punto di voler "pensare in modo piu greco dei greci". In questo volume, il filosofo illustra lo sviluppo del pensiero dai presocratici ad Aristotele, seguendo il filo conduttore dei testi originali e obbedendo insieme all''esigenza di guidare anche il profano alla comprensione di quei vertici speculativi.

Sono scritti che vanno dalle poesie e pagine di diario del Nietzsche quattordicenne ai primi saggi di riflessioni sulla storia e sull''arte. E'' anche evidente in questa fase il suo interesse per il mondo della mitologia nordica e germanica, come pure la tendenza a elaborare in composizioni poetiche i pensieri ispiratigli da personaggi storici e dalle figure di grandi artisti.
