The School of Plato: Its Origin, Development, and Revival Under the Roman Empire - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
After all, it is the Roman Imperial A ge, and no other, which aroused the initial interest; faintly (I fear) reflected in this book. And yet the whole course of Greek speculation is examined, from start to finish, from a peculiar and restricted stand point. I hope that this embrace of an almost infinite topic will be pardoned: it did not, to me, seem possible to account for the phenomena of Roman Platonism orS toicism (in reality, much the same thing), unless in such a survey we had attempted to understand the intrinsic spring of bewilderment and philosophy, mean the selfish desire for personal happiness, attained only by a satisfactory interpretation of our own nature, and the wider Nature that enfolds, restrains, and perhaps completes it.
