Featuring a Nietzschean paragraph from Hume that smacks of Milton’s Satan, these pages also register how “claws and teeth” figure in Aristotle’s Greatness of Soul, and leave Hobbes to pose a still deeper challenge in the same vein.

With poets, led by Milton, almost as thick underfoot as philosophers, we are given a glimpse of what a classical education might look like.

José A. Benardete is the author of two previous books, Metaphysics: The Logical Approach and Infinity: An Essay in Metaphysics, both published by Oxford University Press, and has recently retired from 50 years of teaching Philosophy at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York. More recently, Eric Schliesser has helped him to deepen his understanding of Hume and Hobbes.
