A practical people not prone to be lured to philosophical
abstraction for its own sake, the Romans looked toward philosophy
for guidance on how to live. Though wary of Greek philosophy, the
Romans would come to see the need for philosophies such as
Stoicism, Epicureanism, Platonism, and Aristotelianism to point the
way to leading the good life. With the help of these philosophies,
they attempted to grapple with some of most enduring concerns of
the human condition: Who am I? How should I live my life? What, if
anything, is my destiny? Raymond Angelo Belliotti's Roman
Philosophy and the Good Life provides an accessible picture of
these major philosophical influences in Rome and details the
crucial role they played during times of major social upheaval.
Belliotti demonstrates the contemporary relevance of some of the
philosophical issues faced by the Romans, and offers ways in which
today's society can learn from the Romans in our attempt to create
meaningful lives. Roman Philosophy and the Good Life will certainly
intrigue those who are drawn to Roman history and politics, and
especially those who enjoy viewing philosophy in action.
