Plutarch of Chaeronea is one of the most influential and
fascinating authors of antiquity. His Parallel Lives and Moralia
are storehouses of challenging questions, valuable insights and
interesting observations. Moreover, they contain a wealth of
quotations from and references to earlier writers and traditions,
and thus provide one of the richest gateways to the ancient world.
This book introduces the reader to Plutarch's life and to the
different facets of his variegated thinking and writing, such as
his tremendous erudition, his Platonism and (moral) philosophy, his
interpretation of history and his view of God. Above all, Plutarch
stands out as a particularly clever and subtle thinker, driven by a
spirit of painstaking enquiry (zetesis) that shows authentic and
impressive intellectual honesty and sincere love of the truth. In
this respect, as in many others, he remains an inspiring model even
for us today.
