柏拉图（Plato）古希腊哲学家、西方哲学的代名词，“苏格拉底式”对话的开创者。他的《对话集》让老师苏格拉底的思想得以流传后世，影响了斯多葛学派等哲学流派。 马可·奥勒留（Marcus Aurelius）既是古罗马帝国皇帝，又是晚期斯多葛学派的代表哲学家。他在政务辛劳之余，与自己内心对话，写下了《沉思录》这部“世界之书”。 蒙田（Michel de Montaigne）法国思想家、散文家，他出身贵族，博览群书，尤其喜爱斯多葛派哲学。他隐居十年，创作不朽的《随笔集》，被誉为“欧洲随笔之父”， 启发了叔本华等后世学者。 叔本华（Arthur Schopenhauer）德国哲学家，开创了非理性主义哲学，创立了唯意志论哲学，毕生致力于思考人类的孤独与幸福，其思想深刻影响了尼采、萨特等人。 尼采（Friedrich Nietzsche）西方现代哲学开创者，一位不融于时代的天才哲人。他是唯意志论哲学的继承者，并承上启下，开存在主义之先河。他曾宣布“上帝已死”，主张重估一切价值。

《否定的辩证法》是德国哲学家、西方马克思主义法兰克福学派重要代表阿多诺的主要代表作。在本书中阿多诺首先批判了哲学对同一性的追求，强调辩证法的本质是否定。他认为，古往今来哲学对“同一性”的追求是行不通的，根本不存在*的*性，任何想寻找原初事物或概念的哲学都走上了错误的道路，从而加强了社会上的极权主义和盲从主义倾向。辩证法的根本特征是否定性。其次，阿多诺绕辩证法的矛盾法则，落脚于法兰克福学派的社会批判主题。他认为真正意义上的辩证法不单是考察矛盾，而且还拒不承认矛盾是解释每一事物的图式。社会既不是个体主体的总和，也不是一种客观的事物，而是人类主体和物质客体的相互作用。自由的唯*意义在于否定，在于反思地否定各种具体的奴役。资本主义社会的*大弊端是商品交换价值法则的肆虐，把人和物降低到同一水平上和同质的无名地位上。随后，在本书中，阿多诺还举起“反体系”的旗帜，全力批判*哲学。他深刻意识到，真理的不变性是*哲学的幻想。本体论是对现状的辩解，是维护秩序的工具。此外，阿多诺认为，“否定的辩证法”是自由方便的立场，兼收并蓄的混合。“否定的辩证法”不仅与逻辑标准或事实标准无关，而且完全无视这些标准。这种无视实际上是“否定的辩证法”的本质。

In the town there was a shoemaker by the name of Martin, who lived in a basement with a tiny little window looking out into the street.

Martin had lived in that basement for many a long year and had numbers of acquaintances.

Long ago, in the merry days of good King Arthur, there lived a ploughman and his wife. They were very poor, but would have been contented and happy if only they could have had a little child. One day, having heard of the great fame of the magician Merlin, who was living at the Court of King Arthur, the wife persuaded her husband to go and tell him of their trouble. Having arrived at the Court, the man besought Merlin with tears in his eyes to give them a child, saying that they would be quite content even though it should be no bigger than his thumb. Merlin determined to grant the request, and what was the countryman’s astonishment to find when he reached home that his wife had a son, who, wonderful to relate, was no bigger than his father’s thumb!

Of all the writings of Plato the Timaeus is the most obscure and repulsive to the modern reader, and has nevertheless had the greatest influence over the ancient and mediaeval world. The obscurity arises in the infancy of physical science, out of the confusion of theological, mathematical, and physiological notions, out of the desire to conceive the whole of nature without any adequate knowledge of the parts, and from a greater perception of similarities which lie on the surface than of differences which are hidden from view.

The Ion is the shortest, or nearly the shortest, of all the writings which bear the name of Plato, and is not authenticated by any early external testimony. The grace and beauty of this little work supply the only, and perhaps a sufficient, proof of its genuineness. The plan is simple; the dramatic interest consists entirely in the contrast between the irony of Socrates and the transparent vanity and childlike enthusiasm of the rhapsode Ion.

Areopagitica is among history's most influential and impassioned philosophical defences of the principle of a right to freedom of speech and expression. Today, Areopagitica is regarded as one of the most eloquent defences of press freedom ever written – and as one of the most influential, because many of its expressed principles have formed the basis for modern justifications.

The book “55 years of Thoughts & Meditations” is the result of the constant efforts, inquiries, reflections, thoughts and meditations of one man. All matters analysed derive from our everyday lives and include social, political, philosophical and love issues, as well as more general reflections on life. These matters are delivered in a thematic manner, which varies in both form and substance and is expressed in prose mainly, but also in poetic form. Many of the issues posed occur to every thinking person, who follows his/her own path on earth and who seeks answers and solutions to life’s problems: Why do nations engage in battle? Why do people fight? What makes human contact difficult? What are art and beauty? What are sciences and what are their true limits? Should we trust them? What is “wisdom” and “beauty” and which knowledge is truly worthwhile? Is there objective knowledge? What is the unique truth? Is there good and evil? What are the three ideals, “Love”, “Knowledge” and the “Truth”?So one morning, I began to gather and then document all my random thoughts, the remnants of everything that has triggered my observations, all the questions I have documented throughout my life and everything I had noted here and there and I turned it into a book of personal thoughts and meditations. This book is therefore the book of life, taken straight from life, rich with the reflec-tions of a lifetime. It is a book about life and is aimed at every thinking and honest reader with good intentions. This includes young readers who are gifted with the clarity of soul and are in a better position to be aware of the just and the beautiful. Fifty five years of thoughts and meditations is what this book is. It is a quest of “Love”, of “Knowledge” and of the “Truth”.
