Sinossi

Philostratus the Athenian was a third century AD sophist, who settled in Rome as a member of the learned circle of the Empress Julia Domna. His celebrated ‘Life of Apollonius of Tyana’ is by far the longest biography to survive from classical times and it became one of the most widely discussed literary works of later antiquity. It employs an engaging style that brings to life its charismatic subject — a teacher and religious reformer that travels across the known world, from the Atlantic to the Ganges. His miracles, which include extraordinary cures and inexplicable disappearances, blended with his apparent triumph over death, resulted in many pagans regarding Apollonius as a rival to Jesus of Nazareth. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This eBook presents Philostratus’ collected works, with illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    Obedience - The Willing Follow -...

    Obedience, at its core, is the act of aligning one’s actions with a higher authority or divine purpose. It is not merely the submission to rules or commands, but a conscious choice to follow the guidance of a force greater than oneself. In the context of spiritual growth, obedience is deeply intertwined with faith, trust, and surrender. It requires an individual to recognize that there is wisdom beyond their understanding and that, by following divine guidance, they are led to a path of fulfillment and purpose. 
    The true essence of obedience goes beyond blind submission. It is an active decision to place one’s will in alignment with divine will, acknowledging that this alignment leads to a more harmonious and meaningful existence. It calls for humility, as one must be willing to accept that their personal desires, while valid, may not always align with the greater plan. This humility allows individuals to move away from a sense of ego-driven control and step into a flow where they are led by wisdom that is both timeless and profound. 
    Faith is a foundational element of obedience. When one trusts in a higher purpose, they are more likely to act in accordance with divine will, even when the path ahead is unclear or difficult. This trust creates a foundation for obedience that is not rooted in fear or obligation but in the understanding that divine guidance is always for the highest good, even if it does not immediately make sense to the individual.

    The Art Of War - The Classic...

    There are many versions of this work in English, and it is included as a useful reflection once one has pondered Daoism’s key texts. The title is properly ‘'Sun Tzu's Military Method'. It was written at the time of the Dao and Zhuang Zi, several centuries before the Lieh Tzu. For fifteen hundred years, it was part of China’s canonical strategic anthology, which became known as the Seven Military Classics.In modern Anglophone culture it is often the only strategic text someone has read, supplanting and exceeding the previous dominant strategic text (von Clausewitz’s On War, 1832, tr. 1874). Leaders from Mao Zedong and Takeda Shingen to Võ Nguyên Giáp and Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. have explicitly acknowledged the book’s influence on them. This translation is notably the second major version of it in English. It follows a translation by Everard Ferguson Calthrop that Giles found deeply contemptible, as one can see from the introduction. It is important to note that most scholars do not consider the Art of War one of the classic Daoist texts. While it is a product and application of the philosophy, it is more of an exegetical monograph than a consideration of the philosophical underpinnings of Daoism. Much like the Zhuang Zi, it takes the core ideas and realizes them in specific practical situations. It does so with such certainty that many contest it as a ‘true’ Daoist work. As you will see from the discussions embedded elsewhere, the key Daoist texts value contradiction and paradox far too much to be as procedurally simple as the Art of War is.It is not clear that this criticism is fair, however. A much kinder perspective is that Daoism’s great failure is in its apparent lack of any utilitarian or social value. While Confucianism provides a balance, Sun Tzu’s work attempts to build a more practical version of Daoism than the key texts allow for.

    Efficient and excellent writing relies on one crucial pillar: note-taking. This skill is often underdeveloped or totally missing in writers, whether they are professionals or students. In How to Take Smart Notes (2017), Sönke Ahrens details the slip-box note-taking method known as the Zettelkasten. This technique, adapted to both written and digital notes, shifts the focus from memorization and searching for notes to developing ideas through the note-taking and writing process, which becomes part of the thought process. The slip-box system allows writers to easily store and retrieve relevant notes while enhancing their creativity in finding topics to tackle.
