Marc Aurel ist als "Philosoph auf dem Kaiserthron" in die Geschichte eingegangen. Die Frage, inwieweit es ihm gelungen ist, Philosophie und Politik miteinander zu vereinbaren, behandelt Claudia Horst nicht als ein biographisches, sondern erstmals als ein strukturgeschichtliches Problem. Die Beschäftigung mit der Philosophie erlebte zur Zeit Marc Aurels eine Konjunktur. Doch war es nicht die kontemplative Auseinandersetzung um inhaltliche Fragen, die hierbei im Vordergrund stand. Die Kultur der Römischen Kaiserzeit, die sog. Zweite Sophistik, stellte sich vielmehr als ein zentraler Kommunikationsraum zwischen dem Kaiser und den gebildeten städtischen Eliten dar, in dem kulturelle Bedingungen des Zusammenlebens ebenso wie Machtfragen verhandelt wurden. Für Marc Aurel war die Philosophie ein entscheidendes Medium der politischen Integration. Durch sie ist es ihm letztlich gelungen, das Akzeptanzdefizit seitens der Aristokratie, das die Stabilität seiner Herrschaft stets bedrohte, zu überwinden und Vertrauen zu generieren.

Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962), French philosopher, followed a period of ruptures, that is, of conceptual and methodological changes in contemporary physics. He is one of several thinkers who presented important reflections for the understanding of contemporary atomistics. This article highlights the main philosophical reflections of Gaston Bachelard about the foundations of quantum mechanics. For that, it uses important concepts of its epistemology without which its ideas become incomprehensible. Thus, this work highlights how this science breaks with traditional scientific and philosophical ideas in the first half of the 20th century by presenting a new object of knowledge, namely, the quantum corpuscles. Furthermore, in order to characterize the philosophy of bachelardian quantum physics, according to the author, the nature of atomic particles stands out, as the scientific activity of this science in the creation of new phenomena is emphasized and its rationalism applied as philosophy is emphasized best suited to the new physics. Finally, it is emphasized in this work that Bachelard's ideas are different from other interpretations of quantum mechanics.

In this article we intend undertake a reading of ancient judaism, or veterotestamentary, in some of its main aspects, in contrast to the Machiavellian view of the role of religion in the organization and expansion of the State. The first step of this enterprise will be given by exposing the founding and delineanting features of the ancient Jewish tradition, especially in the books that make up the so-called Old Testament, demonstranting the using of religion in the ordination and expansion of the State, as well as in the formation of the individual. In a second moment we will demonstrate how to create a new Jewish tradition, influenced and influential on the ancient Greek world, early in the Christian era which will be assimilated and explored in its mystical bias in Renaissance humanism. This Hellenistic Judaism tradition will be best known and assimilated in the European erudite circles of the Renaissance. Finally, we will try to demonstrate how the constitutive features of ancient Judaism, to the detriment of Hellenistic Judaism, can be read in the light of Machiavellian description of the role of religion in the organization and expansion of the State and the formation of the individual.
