Philosophy in Late Antiquity
Our view of Plato and Aristotle was forged in Late Antiquity, a tumultuous era of Roman decline and Christian ascent. Discover how this clash of worlds shaped our modern concepts of time, the body, and death, laying the foundations of our own world.
This volume assembles John Glucker’s essays on Plato and Cicero for the first time. The articles deal with interpretations of their philosophical works and their influence on Western thought, and will be of interest to both scholars and laymen with a background in the classics.
What did ‘Rome’ mean in antiquity, and what has it meant since? This volume shows that ancient Rome has been recontextualised and remade by successive historical periods. These studies show how Rome and its texts are recast for each new audience through adaptation and critique.
