Includes bibliographical references (p.425-429) and index. On philosophy as a way of life -- The Socratic way of life -- Aristotle: philosophy as two ways of life -- Stoicism as a way of life -- The Epicurean and Skeptic ways of life -- Platonism as a way of life. This is a major reinterpretation of ancient philosophy that recovers the long Greek and Roman tradition of philosophy as a complete way of life--and not simply an intellectual discipline. --from publisher description |
