Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | The papyrological writings of Philodemus of Gadara continue to yield crucial new insights on key aspects of ancient Epicureanism. In fact, they even shed light on the Epicurean paragon of human wisdom and happiness itself: the sage. From the many references to the wise person's characteristics that can be found scattered throughout Philodemus' ethics, a uniquely detailed and multifaceted portrait of the Epicurean sage emerges. This is the first book-length study of the Epicurean sage. It explores the different aspects of the sage's way of life and offers a reconstruction of this Epicurean role model, as envisaged by Philodemus. |
