Ancient Ethical Literature (Paperback)

Ancient Ethical Literature provides students with a collection of translated ancient texts from cultural, religious, and philosophical sources to help readers better understand how various societies have formed their codes of ethics. Part I of the text focuses on ancient Near Eastern literature. It explores Sumerian and Hebrew proverbs on the subjects of wealth, love, character, plenty, humor, wisdom, family, life and death, and more. Additionally, students read a collection of Hebrew and Babylonian laws that address social justice, the Ten Commandments, theft and robbery, agriculture, inheritance, and goring oxen, among other topics. Part II introduces students to Hellenic literature and investigates a number of philosophical texts by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Throughout, students are provided with critical context to frame the readings and discussion questions to stimulate critical thinking and academic discourse. Compiled to provide students with an accessible and illuminating introduction to key concepts within the discipline, Ancient Ethical Literature is an ideal resource for courses in philosophy and ethics.
