This volume consists of fourteen essays in honor of Daniel Devereux
on the themes of love, friendship, and wisdom in Plato, Aristotle,
and the Epicureans. Philia (friendship) and eros (love) are topics
of major philosophical interest in ancient Greek philosophy. They
are also topics of growing interest and importance in contemporary
philosophy, much of which is inspired by ancient discussions.
Philosophy is itself, of course, a special sort of love, viz. the
love of wisdom. Loving in the right way is very closely connected
to doing philosophy, cultivating wisdom, and living well. The first
nine essays run the gamut of Plato's philosophical career. They
include discussions of the >Alcibiades<, >Euthydemus<,
>Gorgias<, >Phaedo<, >Phaedrus<, and
>Symposium<. The next four essays turn to Aristotle and
include treatments of the >Nicomachean Ethics< and
>Politics< as well as the lesser-known works
>Protrepticus< and >Magna Moralia<. The volume ends
with friendship in the Epicureans. As a whole, the volume brings
out the centrality of love and friendship for the conception of the
philosophical life held by the ancients. The book should appeal to
anyone interested in these works or in the topics of love,
friendship, or wisdom.
