This book is a fundamental reappraisal of Plutarch's ethical thought. It shows how Plutarch based his ethics on his particular interpretation of Plato's cosmology: our quest for the good life should start by considering the good cosmos in which we live. The practical consequences of this cosmological foundation permeate various domains of Greco-Roman life: the musician, the organiser of a drinking party, and the politician should all be guided by cosmology. After exploring these domains, this book offers in-depth interpretations of two works which can only be fully understood by paying attention to cosmological aspects: Dialogue on Love and On Tranquillity of Mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree ebook available at OAPEN Library, JSTOR, Project Muse, and Open Research Library\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bram Demulder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462703299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462703292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Bram Demulder","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076371411199,"sku":"9789462703292","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5974db1b-2b36-455b-9692-3467023c894f.jpg?v=1685464632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plutarchs-cosmological-ethics-bram-demulder-9789462703292","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
