L'Africa del Petrarca: In Ottava Rima Insieme Col. Testo Latino (Classic Reprint) (Italian Edition) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a political and philosophical dialogue that explores themes of ethics, civil war, and the nature of political authority. The author places the dialogue in the context of the Roman Republic's 3rd Punic War with Carthage from 149 to 146 BCE, and it includes several recognizable historical figures from that time period including Scipio Africanus the Younger. As they discuss the ethics of warfare and the responsibilities of political leaders, the author presents his views on religion, justice, the ideal republic, and the role of the individual and the state. The book is notable for merging several important strands of philosophical thought in the ancient world, as well as the contrast between stoic thought and the pessimism of the epicureans, both of which are reflected in the dialogue.
