Introduction to Kant
There are philosophers who tell us how the world is. Kant first asks us how we see it. He suggests that we are not mere spectators. We are also, in part, the architects of what we perceive. If we never see the world “as it is in itself,” how can we live justly?
Kant says: we know one essential thing—we are capable of choosing our actions. And this capacity obliges us to act according to principles that we could accept for everyone.
For him, this is morality. And this is also freedom: not doing whatever we want, but becoming capable of willing what is right.

Becoming Oneself
Short Stories in the Spirit of Aristotle.
For Aristotle, a good life lies neither in excess nor in deficiency, but in a kind of harmony with oneself—a balance that is built, gesture by gesture. There is no single moment when everything changes. There is a discreet, almost invisible repetition of choices that shape us.
These stories invite us to ask a simple yet demanding question: What am I becoming through what I do today?

False Knowledge
Socrates wasn't condemned simply for speaking the truth.

By questioning both the powerful and ordinary citizens, he undermined their certainties and exposed the illusions of knowledge.

Persian Letters of the 21st Century.
Montesquieu does not seek to state what is true once and for all. He seeks to understand why societies function differently.
By observing laws, customs, and ways of life, he discovers that nothing is entirely universal: what we believe to be natural often depends on place, history, and habits.
From this arises an essential idea: to preserve liberty, no power should be absolute.
