This book contains a collection of 13 essays from leading
scholars on the relationship between passionate emotions and moral
advancement in Greek and Roman thought.
Recognising that emotions played a key role in whether
individuals lived happily, ancient philosophers extensively
discussed the nature of "the passions," showing how those who
managed their emotions properly would lead better, more moral
lives.
The contributions are preceded by an introdution to the subject
by John Fitzgerald. Writers discussed include the Cynics, the
Neopythagorians, Aristotle and Ovid; the discussion encompasses
philosophy, literature and religion.
