Philosophy Sources

Current active records: Plato, Apology (Apology); Plato, Charmides (Charmides); Plato, Crito (Crito); Plato, Euthyphro (Euthyphro); Plato, Laches (Laches); Plato, Lysis (Lysis); Xenophon, Apology of Socrates (Apology of Socrates); Xenophon, Memorabilia (Memorabilia).

These are historical testimony records, not works authored by Socrates. Socrates left no writings of his own, so PhiloMind keeps Plato and Xenophon visible as witnesses and does not present modern generated wording as a recovered Socratic quotation.

Current active records: The Republic of Plato (Republic); Phaedo; Symposium.

The currently active Plato grounding set is Republic, Phaedo, and Symposium. Other Platonic dialogues may be philosophically relevant or used as testimony in the separate Socrates interpretation, but they are not described here as active Plato-persona grounding records unless they are actually enabled in production.

Current active records: Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (Meditations, George Long translation, Project Gutenberg eBook #15877).

The production record identifies the George Long translation and Project Gutenberg eBook #15877. Translation wording matters, so PhiloMind avoids presenting translation-dependent paraphrases as direct quotations unless the edition/source is clear.

Current active records: A Selection from the Discourses of Epictetus with the Encheiridion.

The active production source combines selections from the Discourses with the Encheiridion. PhiloMind treats generated explanations as interpretation and does not turn the Stoic control distinction into unsupported slogans or claims that external harms do not matter.

Current active records: Beyond Good and Evil; The Genealogy of Morals; The Twilight of the Idols.

PhiloMind does not treat posthumous notebook material or famous loose slogans as interchangeable with this approved source set. Modern examples and Debate prompts are editorial or AI applications unless a source passage is explicitly identified.

Current active records: Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals (Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals); Perpetual Peace (Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Essay); Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics (Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics).

The product distinguishes Kant's source text from modern Kantian application. A contemporary dilemma can be analyzed through Kantian concepts without being presented as a historical question Kant himself answered.

Primary work means the active record is a work attributed to that philosopher in the production grounding library. Historical testimony means the record is evidence about a philosopher from another author; this distinction is especially important for Socrates.

A source link shows the text record used by the grounding library. It does not mean every generated sentence is a quotation from that page. Unless quotation marks and a precise source locator say otherwise, marketing examples and AI conversations should be read as paraphrase, synthesis, or modern interpretation.
