Synopsis

In this insightful exploration of ancient Greek civilization, the author delves into the development of humanitarian ideals and practices within Greek society. Analyzing key historical texts and artistic representations, the book traces the emergence of compassion, empathy, and concern for human well-being in the Greek worldview. The author argues that the Greeks played a pivotal role in shaping the foundations of Western humanistic thought, emphasizing the sacredness of human life and the importance of treating fellow beings with dignity. Through a detailed examination of Athenian culture and its impact on the broader Mediterranean world, the book sheds light on the origins and evolution of ethical standards that continue to resonate today.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
