Volgens sommigen heeft de stoïcijnse filosoof Epictetus van Hiërapolis de basisfilosofie van het stoïcisme geformuleerd. Zijn invloed binnen de filosofie en erbuiten is enorm geweest en duurt nu nog voort. Wie was Epictetus dan en waar stond hij voor? In deze Handleiding, die als samenvatting kan gelden van zijn gehele oeuvre, staat het antwoord op deze twee vragen beschreven. Zijn filosofie hierin is praktisch en blijkt een ware en wonderschone handleiding voor het goede leven, een levens...

The classic translation of the cornerstone work of western philosophy Plato's Republic is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy. Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, it is an inquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation other questions are raised: what is goodness; what is reality; what is knowledge; what is the purpose of education? ...

History and Philosophy of the Humanities: An Introduction presents a reasoned overview of the conceptual and historical backgrounds of the humanities.

The humanities include disciplines as diverse as literary theory, linguistics, history, film studies, theology, and philosophy.

The tripartite division between the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities may seem se...

In Imagining Europe, Chiara Bottici and Benoit Challand explore the formation of modern European identity. Europe has not always been there, although we have been imagining it for quite some time. Even after the birth of a polity called the European Union, the meaning of Europe remained a very much contested topic.

What is Europe? What are its boundaries? Is there a specific European identity or is the EU just the name for a group of institutions? This book answers these questions, showing th...

Consciousness, 'the last great mystery for science', remains a hot topic. How can a physical brain create our experience of the world? What creates our identity? Do we really have free will? Could consciousness itself be an illusion? Exciting new developments in brain science are continuing the debates on these issues, and the field has now expanded to include biologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers. This controversial book clarifies the potentially confusing arguments, a...

Although Hannah Arendt is considered one of the major contributors to social and political thought in the twentieth century, this is the first general anthology of her writings.

Sections include extracts from her work on fascism, Marxism, and totalitarianism; her tre...

What is knowledge? How does it differ from mere belief? Do you need to be able to justify a claim in order to count as knowing it? How can we know that the outer world is real and not a dream?Questions like these are ancient ones, and the branch of philosophy dedicated to answering them - epistemology - has been active for thousands of years. In this thought-provoking Very Short Introduction, Jennifer Nagel considers these classic questions alongside new puzzles arising from recent discoverie...
