Si tu veux que la gloire et les succès t'accompagnent, ne perds jamais de vue la doctrine, le commandement, la discipline, la prévoyance. Car celui qui excelle à résoudre les difficultés le fait avant qu'elles ne surviennent ; celui qui maîtrise autant l'approche directe et indirecte que la ruse triomphera. Voilà l'art de l'affrontement.
Connais-toi toi-même et connais ton ennemi, ta victoire ne sera jamais mise en danger. Connais le terrain, connais le temps, ta victoire sera alors totale.
Traduit du chinois par le père Amiot -
The Art of War' is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the 5th century BC and is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu. The text is composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare and it is commonly thought of as a definitive work on military strategy and tactics. It was placed at the head of China's Seven Military Classics upon the collection's creation in 1080 by Emperor Shenzong of Song, and has long been the most influential strategy text in East Asia. It has had an influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond.

The original and bestselling leadership book!
Sun Tzu's ideas on survival and success have been read across the world for centuries. Today they can still be applied to business, politics and life. The Art of War demonstrates how to win without conflict. It shows that with enough intelligence and planning, it is possible to conquer with a minimum of force and little destruction.
While most of us will never find ourselves in real battle situations, we all need strategies to operate effectively in work, love and life, we need to be able to manage conflict, and we need to be skilled at dealing with people. The Art of War is a time-tested resource for 'victory' in each of these areas, and has been proven over time. This luxury hardback edition includes an introduction by Tom Butler-Bowdon that draws out lessons for managers and business leaders, and highlights the power of Sun Tzu's thinking in everyday life. -
Faire cent batailles et gagner cent victoires n'est pas la meilleure conduite.
Parvenir à battre son adversaire sans l'avoir affronté est la meilleure conduite.
Connais ton adversaire, connais-toi, et tu ne mettras pas ta victoire en danger.
Connais le ciel et connais la terre, et ta victoire sera totale.
L'Art de la guerre est le premier traité de stratégie militaire écrit au monde (VIe siècle av. J.-C). Son auteur, Sun Tzu développe des thèses originales qui s'inspirent de la philosophie chinoise ancienne.
C'est l'essence de la guerre psychologique. L'ouvrage est fondé sur le principe suivant : gagner ou perdre une guerre ne se fait pas par hasard, ni par l'intervention des dieux ou des esprits. C'est une question de méthode et de stratégie. De bons principes stratégiques conduisent à la victoire, il est donc important de les étudier.
Ces principes stratégiques sont appliqués au domaine militaire, mais peuvent l'être aussi à celui des affaires, de la politique ou de la société. Ce classique apparaît très actuel et moderne par ses enseignements psychologiques valables en tout temps.

L' Art de la guerre de Sun Tzu exerce toujours la même fascination sur nos contemporains. Est-ce parce qu'il s'agit du premier livre de stratégie écrit il y a 2 500 ans ? Peut-être, mais cela ne suffirait pas à expliquer son succès jamais démenti. Il contient surtout des leçons qui ont franchi le mur des siècles et qui restent pertinentes.
Pascal Boniface, avec la clarté pédagogique qu'on lui connaît, nous offre une mise en perspective de L'Art de la guerre avec l'actuelle stratégie chinoise. Il démontre que lire Sun Tzu permet de comprendre la montée en puissance de la Chine. Mais aussi que ses leçons sont désormais au service de tous ceux qui veulent se les approprier. -

Plongez au coeur de la philosophie politique en vous familiarisant avec ses penseurs incontournables. Nicolas Machiavel, penseur humaniste de la Renaissance, a laissé derrière lui une légende noire avec Le Prince, traité qui fait résonner douloureusement la politique et la morale. Spinoza, celui que Deleuze appelait "le Prince des philosophes", provoqua aussi la controverse en ouvrant la possibilité de critiquer la pensée religieuse, et en défendant une pensée de Dieu fondée sur la logique plutôt que sur le dogme. Le Discours sur les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes, de Jean-Jacques Rousseau, est resté l'un des fondements de la pensée politique moderne comme son Contrat Social. Henry David Thoreau écrit sur le thème de la désobéissance civile en se fondant sur son expérience personnelle, ce qui inspirera d'innombrables mouvements en quête de démocratie directe engagée jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Le général, stratège et philosophe Sun Tzu a inspiré les plus grandes figures militaires et politiques, en passant par l'entreprenariat ; l'Art de la guerre est fait de maximes qui peuvent s'appliquer tant au champ de bataille qu'au quotidien. Karl Marx a marqué l'Histoire en donnant une doctrine au prolétariat et en érigeant la lutte des classes en système ; sa pensée est toujours au coeur des luttes idéologies contemporaines. Chaque philosophe voit sa pensée résumée en 100 citations essentielles, marquantes et faciles à mémoriser. Ce format concis et accessible est idéal pour la préparation aux examens et aux concours (bac, capes, agrégation...), la culture générale et le développement personnel.

La obra muestra la inteligencia y la frescura de los ensayos de Sun Tzu. En ella Sun Tzu explica al detalle los preparativos previos a la guerra: estrategias de engaño, disposición de las tropas en el campo de batalla, armamento necesario, carros de combate, etcétera. Cómo poder llegar a vencer al enemigo sin tener que desempeñarse al enfrentamiento cara a cara: simplemente imponiendo una moral dominante, infundiendo el miedo al enemigo para así lograr el planteamiento central del libro: "poder vencer sin llegar a la batalla".
