Ancient Wisdom for Modern Minds (2nd Edition)

By Michael S. Russo

ANCIENT WISDOM FOR MODERN MINDS is written specifically for newcomers to the field of philosophy. Focusing on what is arguably the most important issue in philosophy-the problem of human happiness-the text examines the ideas of the most influential thinkers of the ancient world to discover what enduring wisdom they can impart about the nature and realization of happiness to modern readers like ourselves. Among the authors examined in this work are Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Sextus Empiricus, Diogenes of Sinope, Epicurus, Seneca, Plotinus, Jesus of Nazareth, and St. Augustine.ABOUT SOPHIAOMNI PRESSThis text is published by SophiaOmni Press.
