Immerse yourself in the profound world of ancient wisdom with Moralia, a remarkable collection of 78 essays and dialogues by the illustrious 1st-century Greek philosopher Plutarch of Chaeronea. This insightful work reveals the customs, philosophies, and daily lives of both Roman and Greek cultures, offering timeless reflections that have inspired thinkers from Montaigne to the Renaissance Humanists and Enlightenment philosophers. Delve into renowned essays such as On the Fortune or the Virtue of Alexander the Great, which complements his biographical writings, or explore On the Worship of Isis and Osiris, a key resource on Egyptian rituals. Plutarch also critiques historical narratives in On the Malice of Herodotus, while lighter pieces like the witty dialogue Odysseus and Gryllus showcase his playful side. Though the Moralia preceded his biographies, they set the stage for his later works, and some editions even include pseudepigraphal texts. Notably, this collection tackles the classic chicken-and-egg dilemma, making it a fascinating exploration of ethics and existence. (Summary by Leni)Copyright Assorted Non Fiction 世界 哲学 社会科学
