Book excerpt: Quizá pensamos que vamos a estar aquí para siempre, que las personas que queremos van a estar aquí para siempre. Hoy día podemos comprar casi cualquier cosa con nuestros teléfonos de última generación sin mover el culo del sofá de nuestra casa, comunicarnos al instante con una persona que se encuentre al otro lado del planeta, medios de transporte inimaginables hace tan sólo 100 años que han acercado los continentes, calefacción en invierno, aire acondicionado en verano, televisión por cable, Internet de alta velocidad... Todas estas comodidades nos hacen vivir dormidos en un cómodo sueño de seguridad perpetua totalmente falso. "Mortal es todo el bien de los mortales". Mortales son todos los bienes que poseemos y disfrutamos, mortales somos. Pero hay algo que no muere jamás: la virtud. Este mensaje es uno de los que intenta transmitir Séneca en sus cartas a su buen amigo Lucilio. Estos escritos son una de las fuentes de referencia del estoicismo, que a día de hoy, siguen siendo aplicables. El objetivo de esta edición de las Cartas a Lucilio es poder acercar el estoicismo a cualquier persona, aunque no tenga ni idea de filosofía. Para ello, he "traducido" las enseñanzas de Séneca, del castellano antiguo, de una traducción directa del latín con más de 130 años, a un castellano más actual, fácil de leer y de entender.El formato de esta edición impresa utiliza, en sus 770 páginas, letra grande, párrafos cortos y amplios márgenes, para facilitar su comprensión y hacer más agradable su lectura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edición completa con las 124 cartas. Edición de estudio. Traducción al español contemporáneo. Las Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, también conocidas como Epístolas morales y Cartas de un estoico, son una colección de 124 cartas que Séneca el Joven escribió -entre los años 62 a 65 de la Era Común- al final de su vida, durante su jubilación, después de haber trabajado para el emperador Nerón durante más de diez años. Están dirigidas a Lucilio Junior. el entonces procurador de Sicilia, a quien sólo se conoce a través de los escritos de Séneca. Independientemente de la correspondencia que mantuvieron Séneca y Lucilio, está claro que Séneca redactó las cartas pensando en un amplio público. Las cartas comienzan a menudo con una observación de la vida cotidiana, para pasar después a un tema o principio extraído de esa observación. El resultado es como un diario o un manual de meditaciones filosóficas. Las cartas se centran en muchos temas tradicionales de la filosofía estoica, como la firmeza de corazón del sabio y la virtud como bien supremo.

Download or read book The Prison Letters of Fidel Castro written by Fidel Castro and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2009-04-29 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in Ann Louise Bardach's Cuban voyage she came across Cartas de Presidio or The Prison Letters of Fidel Castro. Edited by Luis Conte Aguero, who was the recipient of most of these letters, they are cited in every important work from Hugh Thomas' opus Cuba to Tad Szulc's Fidel biography, and everything in between and since. These twenty-one letters (nine to Conte Aguero, six to his late sister and close collaborator, Lidia, one to his wife Mirta, one to his comrade in combat, Melba Hernandez letters, one to the great scholar Jorge Manach) are regarded as the single most valuable and revelatory document regarding Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution. Never before published in English, these letters were written when Castro was imprisoned for his failed attack on the Moncada from 1953 to 1955 and reveal a man of spectacular ambition and steely determination. A man, who despite being incarcerated to serve a lengthy prison term, never wavers in his confidence that he will one day rule Cuba.

Download or read book Lessons in Stoicism written by John Sellars and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Excellent. . . Sellars gives a lucid, easy-to-follow account of what Stoicism as a way of life amounts to, and how you might start to put it into practice' Nigel Warburton How can Stoicism inspire us to lead more enjoyable lives? In the past few years, Stoicism has been making a comeback. But what exactly did the Stoics believe? In Lessons in Stoicism, philosopher John Sellars weaves together the key ideas of the three great Roman Stoics -- Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius -- with snapshots of their fascinating lives, to show us how their ideas can help us today. In vivid prose, Sellars shows how the works of these three Stoics have inspired readers ever since, speaking as they do to some of the perennial issues that face anyone trying to navigate their way through life. Their works, fundamentally, are about how to live -- how to understand one's place in the world, how to cope when things don't go well, how to manage one's emotions and how to behave towards others. Consoling and inspiring, Lessons in Stoicism is a deeply thoughtful guide to the philosophy of a good life.

Download or read book The Trouble with Being Born written by E. M. Cioran and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, which reaffirms the uncompromising brilliance of his mind, Cioran strips the human condition down to its most basic components, birth and death, suggesting that disaster lies not in the prospect of death but in the fact of birth, "that laughable accident." In the lucid, aphoristic style that characterizes his work, Cioran writes of time and death, God and religion, suicide and suffering, and the temptation to silence. Through sharp observation and patient contemplation, Cioran cuts to the heart of the human experience. “A love of Cioran creates an urge to press his writing into someone’s hand, and is followed by an equal urge to pull it away as poison.”—The New Yorker “In the company of Nietzsche and Kierkegaard."—Publishers Weekly "No modern writer twists the knife with Cioran's dexterity. . . . His writing . . . is informed with the bitterness of genuine compassion."—Boston Phoenix
Download or read book The Daily Stoic written by Ryan Holiday and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a daily devotional of Stoic meditations—an instant Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller. Why have history's greatest minds—from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with today's top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities—embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you'll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you'll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.
Download or read book Tratados Morales written by Lucio Anneo Seneca and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las Cartas a Lucilio, (Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium), a veces llamadas Cartas de un Estoico en el mundo anglosajón, son un conjunto de 124 cartas escritas por Lucio Anneo Séneca durante los tres últimos años de su vida. Todas las cartas comienzan con la frase "Seneca suo Lucilio salutem" (Séneca saluda a su Lucilio) y terminan con la palabra "Vale" (Adiós en latín), fórmula habitual en la época que en la edad moderna sólo encontramos en El Quijote y que permitió a la posteridad suponerlas fruto de una recopilación de correspondencia entre Séneca y Lucilio. A lo largo de las 124 cartas, va a abordar un amplio abanico de temas, siendo el hilo conductor de todos ellos los amigos que Séneca ofrece, a instancias de Lucilio, sobre cómo convertirse en un mejor estoico: en todas ellas se tratará de aunar las sublimidades del pensamiento humano para poder alcanzar la virtud, bien supremo de los estoicos. A su vez, expondrá, a lo largo de las mismas, los principales fundamentos del estoicismo, tales como su teogonía, ciertos aspectos del atomismo estoico, la creencia en un único dios por encima de todos los demás (que se fundirán en uno al terminarse el universo), ...Los rasgos más significativos del pensamiento de Séneca son el destacar la voluntad como facultad bien diferenciada del entendimiento, la insistencia en el carácter pecador del hombre, y su oposición a la esclavitud y su afirmación de la plena igualdad de todos los hombres. Para ello, se vale de la técnica del ensayo, del que es considerado pionero.
