Plutarch's Practical Ethics

The Social Dynamics of Philosophy

Beschreibung

A study of Plutarch's practical ethics, a group of texts within his Moralia designed to help powerful Greeks and Romans manage their ambitions and society's expectations successfully. Lieve Van Hoof depicts philosophy under the Roman Empire as a kind of symbolic capital engendering power and prestige for author and reader alike.
