Sophist by Plato (Πλάτων) (c. 428 BCE - c. 347 BCE) LibriVox Sophist (Ancient Greek: Σοφιστής) discusses being and not-being while drawing a distinction between the philosopher and the sophist. - Summary by Geoffrey Edwards Life of Apollonius of Tyana, The by Flavius Philostratus (170 - 247) LibriVox Apollonius of Tyana (ca. 40-120 AD) was a Greek Pythagorean philosopher and teacher. He hailed from the town of Tyana in the Roman province of Cappadocia in Asia Minor. His date of birth is a matter of conjecture as some say he was roughly a contemporary of Jesus.After Apollonius' death his name remained famous among philosophers and occultists. In a "novelistic invention" inserted in the Historia Augusta, Aurelian, at the siege of Tyana in 272, was said to have experienced a visionary dream in which Aurelian claimed to have seen Apollonius speak to him, beseeching him to spare the city of his birth. In part, Aurelian said that Apollonius told him "Aurelian, if you desire to rule, abstain from the blood of the innocent! Aurelian, if you will conquer, be merciful!"By far the most detailed source is the Life of Apollonius of Tyana, a lengthy, novelistic biography written by the sophist Philostratus at the request of empress Julia Domna. Philostratus’ account shape Phaedo by Plato (Πλάτων) (c. 428 BCE - c. 347 BCE) LibriVox Plato's Phaedo is one of the great dialogues of his middle period, along with the Republic and the Symposium. The Phaedo, which depicts the death of Socrates, is also Plato's seventh and last dialogue to detail the philosopher's final days (the first six being Theaetetus, Euthyphro, Sophist, Statesman, Apology, and Crito).In the dialogue, Socrates discusses the nature of the afterlife on his last day before being executed by drinking hemlock. Socrates has been imprisoned and sentenced to death by an Athenian jury for not believing in the gods of the state and for corrupting the youth of the city. The dialogue is told from the perspective of one of Socrates' students, Phaedo of Elis. Having been present at Socrates' death bed, Phaedo relates the dialogue from that day to Echecrates, a fellow philosopher. By engaging in dialectic with a group of Socrates' friends, including the Thebans Cebes and Simmias, Socrates explores various arguments for the soul's immortality in order SOPHIA سوفیا Shahin Najafi سوفیا دانایی‌ست و آنکه سوفیا دارد، سوفی‌ است. سوفیا مجموعه‌ای‌ست از گفتگوهای شاهین نجفی با افراد متخصص در رشته‌های متفاوت. این گفتگوها برخوردی مفهومی با موضوعات مختلف از ورزش و هنر تا تاریخ فلسفه و سیاست است. سوفیا توسط رسانه‌ی دیالوگ تولید و پخش می‌شود.“Sophia” is Wisdom and who has Sophia is a Sophist.“Sophia” is a collection of discussions between “Shahin Najafi” and many experts in various fields.These discussions are conceptual encounters with different topics, from sport and art to the history of philosophy and politics.“Sophia” is produced and broadcasted by “DYALOGE MEDIA”.
