Philosophy: Diogenes, Heraclitus, Marcus Aurelius, and Parmenides

Written by Philip Rivaldi

Narrated by Doug Greene

In this book, you will find information about five different philosophers, some of them well-known, others less. But all of them had a significant impact on the ancient world and how people thought, as well as some of our modern-day ideas.

 

The first in line is Marcus Aurelius, a stoic emperor who reigned with righteousness and justice, according to historical records.

 

The second is Hipparchia, a cynic who broke through traditions and took a second look at society and its principles.

 

Third is a somewhat better-known historical figure called Heraclitus of Ephesus. This Greek thinker who noted that “life is flux”, meaning that all things change constantly.

 

Fourth is Diogenes of Sinope, a Greek philosopher who was known for holding a candlelight to people’s faces in search for honest people. His studies in Athens have left their mark.

 

The last this guide mentions and discusses, is Parmenides, founder of the Eleatic School of philosophy. He talked about the “way in which it is and the way in which it is not.”

 

These wise theorists can inspire you if you let them. Go ahead and start reading the E-Book or listening to the audiobook.

[Tamika Sparks · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Whenever you're excited about something, you often tell others about it. So, that's what I'm doing here. It might possibly have had a few mistakes, but they did not take away anything from the amazing info that this particular book contains. You can learn a lot. I know that I did. Initially, I was wondering where it was going, but after tuning in to it for a while, I got into it. Then I saw this specific book for what it really was: A great endeavor by an educated author and expert narrator.

It's so good that my puppy gave it 5 stars as well. The book discusses a number of points of view very well. It also dives much deeper in to the information. My favorite parts were definitely the final chapters, in which the final thought became very clear. I didn't stop listening till the end. That's just how much I liked it. I was glad to hear the right pronunciation of all the words by a skilled audio book narrator.

Not too shabby. In fact, I would practically say that it's impressive. The writer certainly knows how to state it beautifully. This is the supreme mix of a great storyteller and an excellent writer, who partnered and chose to turn this book into an useful item. Great for them.
