Practical Philosophy: The Greco-Roman Moralists by Luke Timothy Johnson
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 254 MB
Overview: Greek and Roman thinkers such as Marcus Tullius Cicero, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Dio Chrysostom, and Plutarch of Chaeronea devoted their lives not to metaphysics and epistemology but to the appreciation and practice of morality and virtue, values, and character. They give us – in plain, straightforward language – rules designed to help us progress as people.Practical Philosophy, introduce you to the sages who, as a group, represent the “missing page” of the history of philosophy. Although their names are sometimes familiar to us, as in the case of Cicero and Plutarch, their philosophy is not. Studying these thinkers offers some surprising ways to think about philosophy.For example, they believed the heart of philosophy is the question of how to live well as a human being. It is how you act, not what you think, that is most important. Virtue and morality are the keys to living a good life. And philosophers should practice what they preach (although, as you’ll discover, the Greco-Roman moral philosophers certainly had flaws).From Cicero’s deep sense of civic duty to Marcus Aurelius’s pursuit of wisdom and dedication to the common good, Practical Philosophy offers ample opportunity to hear, in their own words, the philosophers’ prescriptions for healthier living.
