Résumé de l'éditeur:

7 cours de philosophie sur Nietzsche

"L'écriture de l'histoire de la philosophie occidentale n'est pas neutre : une Grèce prétendument fondatrice à l'exclusion des pensées qui la précèdent dans le temps, une domination idéaliste, notamment platonicienne, une tradition qui poursuit ce parti-pris avec le spiritualisme chrétien et l'idéal allemand - l'historiographie dominante est nettement platonicienne. Or, on peut proposer une contre-histoire de la philosophie qui se soucie d'un autre lignage : matérialiste, hédoniste, nominaliste, athée, sensualiste, empirique, etc. Et s'y inscrire avec le souci d'une pensée systématique."

Michel Onfray

La Contre-histoire de la Philosophie de Michel Onfray s'apparente à un catalogue raisonné de l'histoire de la pensée. Mais un catalogue dans sa version orale et improvisée qui permet par la verve et l'authenticité d'une transmission incarnée de démocratiser le savoir de la Philosophie occidentale.

L'intervenant

, philosophe et écrivain français, né à Argentan le premier janvier 1959, commença par enseigner la philosophie à une classe de terminale du lycée technique de Caen. En 2002, il démissionna de l'Education Nationale afin de créer l'Université Populaire de Caen. Il y enseigne depuis la "contre-histoire de la philosophie" ici présentée. Michel Onfray souhaite formuler une théorie de l'hédonisme au travers de ses ouvrages, et se propose de réconcilier l'homme et son corps. Pour lui, la philosophie est un art de vivre qui permet à l'homme de se débarrasser de ses illusions.

Publisher's Summary:

The Trial and Death of Socrates presents the trial and subsequent execution of Socrates in 399 BCE. Socrates was tried on the basis of two ambiguous charges: corrupting the youth and impiety. Euthyphro, one of Plato's early dialogues, takes place during the weeks leading up to Socrates' trial. Apology is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defends himself against the charges of being a man "who corrupted the young, refused to worship the gods, and created new deities". Crito, a short dialogue by Plato, is a conversation between Socrates and his wealthy friend Crito regarding justice, injustice, and the appropriate response to injustice. Phaedo, depicts the death of Socrates, and is Plato's last dialogue covering Socrates final days.

Title: Breakfast with Socrates

Subtitle: An Extraordinary (Philosophical) Journey Through Your Ordinary Day

Author: Robert Rowland Smith

Narrator: Simon Prebble

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-30-10

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 45 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Have breakfast with Socrates, go to work with Nietzsche, head to the gym with Foucault, then have sex with Ovid (or Simone de Beauvoir).

Former Oxford Philosophy Fellow Robert Rowland Smith whisks you through an ordinary day with history's most extraordinary thinkers, explaining what they might have to say about your routine. From waking up in the morning through traveling to work, shopping, eating, going to a party, falling asleep, and dreaming, Smith connects our most mundane habits to the wider world of ideas.Start with waking up: What does it really mean to be awake? How do we know we're not still dreaming? Descartes argues that if you're able to doubt whether you're awake, you are at least thinking, and so you probably exist -- no small achievement for first thing in the morning. Or take going to the gym: As you toil on the treadmill, is your panting a sign of virtue or of vice, of healthy exertion or of unhealthy narcissism?

Critic Reviews:

"Although Smiths philosophical observations are sometimes overshadowed by his clever, showy prose, the author is genuinely good at making connections between important ideas and lived experience, and successful in showing that philosophy can be a vehicle for making the trivialities of life more meaningful (and hence more bearable) than they otherwise might be."

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 33 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Do judges deduce their decisions from legal rules and principles, or do they decide cases based on what is fair given the facts at hand? The latter view, held by Legal Realists, serves as the starting point for Professor Stephen Mathis's eye-opening look at how judges reason. In this compelling lecture series, the esteemed professor addresses such as whether the law is distinct form morality. Professor Mathis also attempts to identify a view that offers guidance to judges in deciding cases, and one that will provide the tools people need to evaluate the interpretations and decisions judges make.

Title: The Science of Good and Evil

Subtitle: Why People Cheat, Gossip, Care, Share, and Follow the Golden Rule

Author: Michael Shermer

Format: Abridged

Length: 2 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-06-08

Publisher: Michael Shermer John Wagner Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 64 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

In The Science of Good and Evil, psychologist and science historian Michael Shermer explores how humans evolved from social primates into moral primates, how and why morality motivates the human animal, and how the foundation of moral principles can be built upon empirical evidence. Along the way he explains the implications of scientific findings for fate and free will, the existence of pure good and pure evil, and the development of early moral sentiments among the first humans. As he closes the divide between science and morality, Shermer draws on stories from the Yanamamö, infamously known as the "fierce people" of the tropical rain forest, to the Stanford studies on jailers' behavior in prisons. The Science of Good and Evil is ultimately a profound look at the moral animal, belief, and the scientific pursuit of truth.
