Principia ethica
In questo libro, considerato atto di nascita dell'etica analitica, Moore intende confutare sia il "naturalismo" di Herbert Spencer e John Stuart Mill sia l'etica "metafisica" di Francis Bradley e John McTaggart denunciando la fallacia naturalistica o metafisica consistente nell'identificare "buono" con proprietà quali "risultato dell'evoluzione", "produttivo di felicità", "conforme all'essenza…

It was never intended for publication, making it a raw and intimate self-help manual for the emperor during his campaigns and rule. The central theme revolves around living a good, rational, and virtuous life in…

Mythe et pensée chez les Grecs
When Jean-Pierre Vernant first published Myth and Thought among the Greeks in 1965, it transformed the field of ancient Greek scholarship, calling forth a new way to think about Greek myth and thought. In eighteen essays--three of which, along with a new preface, are translated into English for the first time--Vernant freed the subject of ancient Greece from its philological chains and reread the…

Jenseits von Gut und Böse
Since the French Revolution the influence of woman in Europe has DECLINED in proportion as she has increased her rights and claims; and the "emancipation of woman," insofar as it is desired and demanded by women themselves (and not only by masculine shallow-pates), thus proves to be a remarkable symptom of the increased weakening and deadening of the most womanly instincts.

Ἴων
"Im Ion stellt der jugendliche Platon eine Seite des historischen Sokrates dar, die in den Dialogen, die nach dessen Verurteilung und Hinrichtung verfasst sind, nicht mehr zentrales Thema ist. Platon, wie auch andere aus der jugendlichen Intelligenz Athens waren fasziniert von jenem Mann, der in Wortgefechten mit wechselnden Partnern ständig triumphiert. Ion, ein Rhapsode, glaubt in diesem Dialog…

Cyropaedia
Xenophon of Athens (circa 430 – 354 B.C.) was a Greek poet, historian, soldier and philosopher who lived at a time of momentous events in Ancient Greek history. Although he was recognized as a great writer and poet in his lifetime, Xenophon’s involvement with Spartan politics and fighting led to his exile from Athens, and his association with Socrates probably did not help. His short treatise on…

Hippolytus
Euripides wrote two plays called Hippolytus. In this, the second, he dramatized the tragic failure of perfection. This translation comes in two forms; the first presents a simulacrum of the text as it might have appeared in unprocessed form to a reader sometime shortly after Euripides? death. The second processes the drama into the reduced but much more distinct form of modern print translations.

It is interesting to note that in the first part of The Heroic Enthusiasts (page 122), Bruno makes a distinct allusion…
