The Epicureans, Skeptics, and Stoics practiced philosophy not as a
detached intellectual discipline but as a worldly art of grappling
with issues of daily and urgent human significance. In this classic
work, Martha Nussbaum maintains that these Hellenistic schools have
been unjustly neglected in recent philosophic accounts of what the
classical "tradition" has to offer. By examining texts of
philosophers such as Epicurus, Lucretius, and Seneca, she recovers
a valuable source for current moral and political thought and
encourages us to reconsider philosophical argument as a technique
through which to improve lives. Written for general readers and
specialists, The Therapy of Desire addresses compelling issues
ranging from the psychology of human passion through rhetoric to
the role of philosophy in public and private life.
