Plato and Aristotle both think that for humans to live full and flourishing lives, we must live together in political communities. They are therefore interested in their various ways in which the people in any given political community relate to one another, how they respond to or value one another, and how they conceive of their good in relation to their fellow citizens. Plato and Aristotle think that instilling and maintaining the correct beliefs and attitudes (such as 'solidarity', 'lik...

Ren Girard s thesis that culture and religion arose from an original act of scapegoating murder gained international scholarly attention in the early seventies with his publication in France of Violence and the Sacred. A few years later, with Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World, Girard made it clear that his basic insights derived of all places from the Bible. Those insights are finally escaping the confines of academia, and coming to the awareness of a broader, theologically m...

This book provides a study of regret (metameleia) in the moral psychology of Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics.

Rather, they took regret to be something that affects people who retrospectively feel pain at realising an earlier mistaken action. Regret sets out in full the accounts of the nature of this emotion found in the works...

This general account of the Presocratics introduces the major Greek philosophical thinker...

Human lives are full of pleasures and pains. And humans are creatures that are able to think: to learn, understand, remember and recall, plan and anticipate.

There appear to be, after all, pleasures and pains associated with learning and inquiring, recollecting and anticipating. We enjoy finding something out. We are pained to discover that a bel...
