The Oxford Handbook of Roman Philosophy explores a range of such Roman philosophical perspectives through thirty-four newly commissioned essays. Where Roman philosophy has long been considered a mere extension of Hellenistic systems of thought, this volume moves beyond the search for sources and parallels and situates Roman philosophy in its distinctive cultural context.The Oxford Handbook of Roman Philosophy emphasizes four features of Roman philosophy: aspects of translation, social context, philosophical import, and literary style. The authors adopt an inclusive approach, treating not just systematic thinkers such as Cicero and Augustine, but also poets and historians. Topics covered include ethnicity, cultural identity, literary originality, the environment, Roman philosophical figures, epistemology, and ethics.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 256mmItem Length: 180mmItem Width: 49mmItem Weight: 1142gContributor: Myrto Garani (Edited by), David Konstan (Edited by), Gretchen Reydams-Schils (Edited by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Ancient History, Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: OXFORD HANDBOOKS SERIESAuthor: Myrto GaraniRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
