ancient greek philosophers aristotle

Although you don’t always realize it, you spend a portion of each night letting your unconscious spirit dance through your dreams, weaving elaborate scenes with shreds of your past, present, and (imagined) future. When you remember these images, they may fascinate, confuse, or frighten you. “Where was I?” “Who was that person?” “What does it all mean?”

From the very first documented dream in 3500 B.C. to the present day, people have been intrigued, mystified, guided, even governed by their dreams. Dreams may be fragments of an unresolved event from the past or of subconscious desires for the present. Your spirit may be trying to rise above your current situation and move forward into the future. Dreams can wreak havoc with peaceful slumber-or bring harmony to your life.Throughout history, the fascination with dreams has been universal. Ancient Egyptians approached dreams with religious reverence.

Greek writers and philosophers including Plato and Aristotle believed that during sleep humans and divine beings communicated, and that dreams were the memories of those conversations. Traditional Hawaiian culture teaches that during dreams, the human soul travels on journeys, meeting others and having important experiences.

But it is important to remember that each dreamers journey is a personal one. Only you can decipher the meaning behind the images that appear during unconscious slumber. Your spirit speaks to you at night through your dreams. Listen to its messages. Use the guide to help interpret dream meanings. Unravel the mysteries of your mind and sail with your creative soul on a ever sweeter dream journey. When we are awake, we think in words. When we are asleep we think in images.

The Nicomachean Ethics (Penguin Classics)


The Nicomachean Ethics (Penguin Classics)


$6.22


Of Aristotle’s works, few have had as lasting an influence on subsequent Western thought as The Nicomachean Ethics. In it, he argues that happiness consists in “activity of the soul in accordance with virtue,” defining “virtue” as both moral (courage, generosity, and justice) and intellectual (knowledge, wisdom, and insight). Aristotle also discusses the nature of pra…

The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D’oh! of Homer (Popular Culture and Philosophy)


$0.84


No doubt Aristotle just rolled over in his grave. An essay called “Homer and Aristotle” would appear to be a treatise on two ancient Greek thinkers; in this case, it’s a depiction of Homer Simpson’s Aristotelian virtues. Raja Halwani’s “Homeric” essay is amusing, though, and moreover, it actually ends up being enlightening, especially for those just learning Aristotle’s ethics. Bart may be a Nietz…
