La sua struttura non è in realtà quella di un dialogo ma una successione di orazioni effettuate dagli intellettuali ateniesi, che hanno per oggetto le lodi del dio dell'Amore (Eros). Troviamo qui, fra l'altro, la famosa descrizione dell'uomo ermafrodito, che, tagliato in due dagli dei, cercherà poi nella sua vita, la sua metà mancante, grazie alla quale, e solo grazie ad essa, ritroverà il suo senso di completezza e, quindi, la felicità. Ma, quando è il turno di Socrate di parlare, egli si limita a riferire l'insegnamento che Diotima gli ha somministrato, e che termina con queste parole: "Cosa succederebbe allora se uno riuscisse a vedere la Bellezza in sé, in tutta la sua adamantina purezza, e non già quella offuscata dalla carne, dai colori, da tutte le altre vanità terrene, se gli riuscisse, insomma, di scoprire la Bellezza in sé, divina e uniforme? Credi forse che sarebbe miserabile la vita di quell'uomo che fissasse quel punto, lassù, e lo contemplasse come va contemplato, congiunto con esso? Ed è soltanto in quel punto, contemplando la bellezza, con quella facoltà che la rende visibile, che egli potrà dar vita non a parvenze di virtù, dato che non è a una falsa immagine di bellezza che egli si è accostato, ma a una virtù vera, per il fatto che egli è nella verità; non pensi del resto, che avendo dato vita alla virtù vera e avendola continuamente alimentata, costui potrà diventare caro agli dei, ed essere anch'egli immortale, se mai altro uomo lo è stato?" Conclude il convito il discorso di Alcibiade, innamorato di Socrate, che fa le lodi di quest'ultimo raccontando come tutti i propri tentativi di sedurlo non siano mai riusciti.

C. da Paltone, è il dialogo che ha maggiormente influito sulla filosofia e sulla scienza posteriori. In esso vengono approfonditi essenzialmente tre problemi: quello dell'origine dell'universo, quello della sua struttura materiale, ed infine quello della natura umana. Ai tre argomenti corrispondono altrettante parti in cui è possibile suddividere l'opera, alle quali va aggiunto il prologo. La prosecuzione del Timeo è costituita dal dialogo incompiuto Crizia, che riprende la stessa ambientazione e gli stessi personaggi.Il Timeo ha rappresentato per molti secoli lo schema di fondo che filosofi e teologi hanno usato per spiegare la realtà. Inoltre molti temi del Timeo verranno ripresi in età rinascimentale, quali la corrispondenza tra microcosmo e macrocosmo, l'idea di anima del mondo e di quintessenza.Il Timeo, assieme al Crizia, è il dialogo che ha dato origine al mito di Atlantide ed in esso viene narrato ciò che Sonchis narrò a Solone Please note: This audiobook is in Italian.

Title: Values for a New Millennium Subtitle: Activating the Natural Law to Reduce Violence, Revitalize Our Schools, and Promote Cross-Cultural Harmony Author: Robert Humphrey Narrator: Geoff Metcalf Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-15 Publisher: Resolution Group International Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Robert L. Humphrey was an Iwo Jima veteran, a Harvard graduate, and a cross-cultural conflict resolution specialist during the Cold War. He proposed the dual life value theory of human nature. From the experiences of childhood in the Great Depression, trips as a teenager in the Panamanian Merchant Marines, national-class boxing, the awe-inspiring sights of selfless sacrifice on Iwo Jima, and finally 15 years in overseas ideological warfare, Humphrey observed that universal values exist and ultimately control human behavior. Humphrey is a graduate of Wisconsin University, Harvard Law School, and the Fletcher School of Diplomacy. At the beginning of the Cold War, he left a teaching position at MIT to help lead the struggle against Communism. Finding that US education was contributing to rather than reducing American overseas problems, he developed a new leadership approach that overcame "ugly American" syndrome among hundreds of thousands in crucial third world areas. More recently his methodology won commendations for educating the alleged uneducable: Mexican American street-gang youths in Southern California and Canadian native teenage dropouts. Until Communism's fall, Humphrey kept his new methods confidential. Those methods are significant: (1) From his experiences with young infantrymen in heavy combat and with the peasants in many villages of the world, he perceived humankind's basic goodness that philosophers have missed or underrated. (2) In place of compartmentalized, primarily mental education, Humphrey has developed a human-nature-guided (moral, physical, artistic, mental) approach.

Title: From Passion to Peace Author: James Allen Narrator: Denis Daly Format: Unabridged Length: 53 mins Language: English Release date: 06-23-15 Publisher: Spoken Realms Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Two themes that recur very frequently in the works of James Allen are passion and purity. However, unlike many writers on moral discipline, the author regards purity as the natural state of man, which has been obscured by passionate attachment to external artefacts. Once the waves of passion are stilled, attachment falls away, allowing the seeker to attain a transcendent purity of vision and thus behold the reality that underlies the illusion of change. In the introduction the author writes: "The first three parts of this book, Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, represents the Divine Life - calm, wise and beautiful - of the sage and Savior. The middle part, Transmutation, is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life. Discipline, denial, and renunciation do not constitute the Divine State; they are only the means by which it is attained. The Divine Life is established in that Perfect Knowledge which bestows Perfect Peace."

Title: Freedom Regained Subtitle: The Possibility of Free Will Author: Julian Baggini Narrator: Barnaby Edwards Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Do we have free will? It's a question that has puzzled philosophers and theologians for centuries and feeds into numerous political, social, and personal concerns. Are we products of our culture or free agents within it? How much responsibility should we take for our actions? Are our neural pathways fixed early on by a mixture of nature and nurture, or is the possibility of comprehensive, intentional psychological change always open to us? What role do our brains play in the construction of free will, and how much scientific evidence is there for the existence of it? What exactly are we talking about when we talk about 'freedom' anyway? In this cogent and compelling book, Julian Baggini explores the concept of free will from every angle, blending philosophy, neuroscience, sociology and cognitive science. Freedom Regained brings the issues raised by the possibilities - and denials - of free will to vivid life, drawing on scientific research and fascinating encounters with expert witnesses, from artists to addicts, prisoners to dissidents. Contemporary thinking tells us that free will is an illusion, and Baggini challenges this position, providing instead a new, more positive understanding of our sense of personal freedom: a freedom worth having. Julian Baggini's books include The Ego Trick, Welcome to Everytown, What's It All About? - Philosophy and the Meaning of Life and The Pig That Wants to be Eaten, all published by Granta Books. He writes for several newspapers and magazines and is cofounder of The Philosophers' Magazine. Critic Reviews: "An excellent book... It [does for freedom] just what Dawkins does with God." (Terry Eagleton, Guardian)

En l'occurrence les livres que sont la Bible pour certains, le Talmud et le Coran pour d'autres. On ne regarde plus le monde, mais le livre qui nous dit le monde. On ne sait plus voir le monde." Michel Onfray Dans cet ouvrage, Michel Onfray développe pour la première fois sa philosophie personnelle ; une pensée qui propose de se réapproprier le monde en rétablissant une sacralité de "l'ici-bas" et non de "l'au-delà". Michel Onfray nous invite à regarder, écouter et comprendre la nature et le temps, à s'émerveiller du sublime qui nous entoure. Au-delà d'un plaisir contemplatif, le philosophe, exigeant avec lui-même, nous raconte ses rencontres avec les hommes de sciences : naturalistes, astrophysiciens, spéléologues, botanistes. Par ce retour au sens de la terre et du ciel, il renoue avec l'idéal des philosophes grecs et païens pour une sagesse humaine en harmonie avec le monde. Ainsi, Michel Onfray appelle à inscrire sa vie dans le Cosmos. ©2015 Frémeaux & Associés (P)2015 Frémeaux & Associés
