I have discovered wonderful gems of wisdom in the classical tradition of philosophy. I hope you will want to read not only from philosophers of the West, but also some brilliant minds from the East. We are closer to our ancestors than we think when the link we establish is based on ideas and intelligence - core values that never grow old.
New Link List Module
- Resources from a classical school of philosophy.
- You may want to dig into the "culture and philosophy" section of this site. There are some valuable articles that bring to life the thoughts of ancient philosophers. I also like the fact that this is the web site of an actual School of Philosophy, so it's not only theoretical but also practical philosophy.
- Classical philosophy - western world
- This is a site of links to philosophy texts from the past centuries - and before. It's astonishing to read such old texts that sound so fresh! Essential readings include Plato and Aristoles for political ideas, Seneca for ethical understaning, and Cicero for the destiny of the human being. Of course there's so much more...
- Classical philosophy -Eastern world
- This is a good site if you want to learn more about buddhism, Confucius, Zen, and other philosophical topics from the East. You can find texts from the great masters as well as articles from scholars.
- The school of philosophy in which I am involved
- I am part of a network of philosophers in Canada, and this is our web site. Not only do we share philosophical thoughts and study the wisdom from the past, but we also work at creating a better environment in our cities, in our conntry, through humanitarian work, education, ecology, etc.
Hope you join us some day! - Wikipedia: philosophy of science
- We are more than ever confronted to the ethical aspect of scientific endeavors. This is something we want not only to think about, but try to find solutions. Here is a link that helps understand the current state of the situation. It's useful to build an overview.
- Philosophie intelligente
- Voici ma page concernant la Philosophie intelligente. La philosophie permet de relier nos idées élevées à de nobles sentiments et à des actions utiles à la société. Tout être humain qui évolue vers la sagesse est philosophe.
