"We only imagine Plato and Aristotle in their long pedantic robes. They were honest people like any other, laughing with their friends..."
The second volume of The Great Philosophers of Ancient Greece , from Socrates to Plotinus, illustrates Pascal's thought on every page. This unusual guide takes the reader from the cell where, before serenely emptying the undeserved hemlock, Socrates has a final, immoral conversation with his tearful followers, to those fantastic architectures of thought that are the great Platonic myths. From the Cynics to Aristotle, a handful of men have confronted all the metaphysical, moral, and political problems that still occupy us: the equality and freedom of citizens, feminism, collectivist society, not forgetting Eros and "Greek love."
The reader will be delighted to have grasped the thought of the ancient Greeks thanks to a cheerful introducer like Luciano de Crescenzo.
Translated from Italian by Louis Mézeray.
