Plutarch's Practical Ethics: The Social Dynamics of Philosophy
In the stressful world of the twenty-first century, many active people are in need of advice on how to reconcile the competing demands of ambition and happiness, work and family, friendship and competition. Mutatis mutandis, the same holds true for the Roman Empire, when, as has been emphasized in a number of studies over the last decade or so, the elite was engaged in a constant struggle for power and honour. This book studies a relatively neglected set of texts designed to help prominent Greeks and Romans navigate the turbulent waters of imperial society: the practical ethics of Plutarch of Chaeronea.
