Philosophy: Confucius, Aristotle, Lao-Tzu, and Zeno

Written by Philip Rivaldi

Narrated by Doug Greene

In this convenient guide, several ancient, famous philosophers will be covered, so you may get a better understanding of the ancestors who have shaped our ideas and theories before we were born.

 

 

Confucius has definitely left a mark on the world of Eastern philosophy. His ideas were revolutionary and impressive enough for people to follow him, record his works, and start a group of devoted followers. In the first chapter, more light will be shed on this.

 

The second philosopher mentioned in this guide, is Aristotle, a sharp-minded, focused thinker who received a name with fame. His clinical examinations and his references to Plato and Socrates are known in Greek history.

 

Third in line is a Chinese thinker named Lao-Tzu, a theorist of the pre-Confucian era who, although he was aware of the power of silence, made sure others knew of his view on life. His influence on Taoism was prevalent.

 

Last but not least is Zeno, the creator of the Stoic School of philosophy in Athens, teaching that the Logos was the best thing to hold on to in life. His studies have rampantly been acknowledged by some of the greatest thinkers in European history.

 

I invite you to take a closer look at these great men and their intricate ideas today.

Reviews for Philosophy

[Karen Bennet · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It's a really good thing when you can simply put on your earphones and listen to an audiobook like this. I benefitted from this book. It was really an eye-opener. I was wanting to discover more about this idea anyway, so it was actually no coincidence that I came across this. I listened to it, and not to my surprise, it was exactly what I was trying to find. I have actually observed that some books are basically trash, and this grieves me. But this particular book did not follow that pattern. It's actually really great. So, I like it.

The narrator's presentation was literally fantastic, and so was the author's wording. Let me see ... how should I explain this? It was expert, straightforward, and easy to understand. With that being said, yep, I do highly recommend the audiobook. No doubt about it. I know I am definitely not the best of testimonial writers, but this deserves praise. The writer and storyteller have certainly put so much energy and time into these books.

This specific audiobook was definitely worth paying attention to, in my personal opinion. The narrator's voice was truly relaxing. Did I already point out that it seemed extremely professional? It did. Without a doubt, and that's why I liked listening to it a lot. I think the first number of chapters were my favorite ones, because the entire principle that the subtitle refers to, gets explained. All of the essentials are there. Later in the book, more depth gets added, and I believe this is what makes it so great.

Nice general overview of most of the great philosophers. It was a quick listen and I will review it again in 1 session.
