Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In the fifth volume of the series The Philosophers and Freedom, the writer, philosopher and psychoanalyst William Marcos presents in an unpublished and commented translation the reports of Diogenes Laertius about Aristotle and his successors at the Lyceum.From logic to ethics, from politics to biology, the reader will find here the basis of peripatetic thought and the genesis of philosophy as a science of reality. In addition to Aristotle, Theophrastus, with his analysis of human characters; Stratum, who sought natural causes for the world; Lícão, educator and trainer of young people; Demetrius, marked by oratory and politics; and Heraclid, whose philosophical imagination was mixed with literature.With an accessible style and enlightening commentary, William Marcos leads the reader through an essential journey to understand how the Lyceum laid the foundations of Western culture and modern sciences.A work that celebrates the freedom to think with rigor and beauty.
