Synopsis

Excerpt from Essays and Addresses

Several of these papers have appeared in periodicals or been published in the proceedings of societies, and I have to thank the editors or the committees for the per mission to reprint. Detailed acknowledgements will be found in the table of contents. One or two besides are published in separate volumes, the Stoic Philosophy by Messrs. Watts and Co., and others by Messrs. Allen and Unwin'. As to these also the details are given elsewhere.

To make a collection even on a small scale of one's occasional writings on popular subjects throughout a long period of years is, I find, a matter of some anxiety. A man has generally little confidence in his past self. There is no knowing what it may have done, or what foolish things it may have thought or written, ten or twenty years ago. I confess that when I began to look through my papers with a view to the present selection I rather expected to find embarrassing self-contradictions or indiscretions of which I should now be ashamed. In this I was agreeably disappointed, but I did find what from the reader's point of view is perhaps worse, a good deal of repetition, or rather a constant attempt, by different means and in different contexts, to say very much the same thing.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the brutal realities of war through the lens of ancient Greece, drawing comparisons between the Peloponnesian War and contemporary conflicts. The author, a scholar of ancient Greek literature, delves into the political and social divisions that arose in Athens during the war, examining the contrasting viewpoints of those who advocated for peace and those who favored a decisive military victory. The author skillfully utilizes the satirical plays of Aristophanes to illuminate the anxieties and aspirations of the Athenian people during this turbulent period, highlighting the powerful yearning for peace and a utopian future that emerged from the wreckage of war. The book also examines the ways in which the experience of war impacted the intellectual and philosophical landscape of the time, influencing the work of thinkers like Protagoras and Plato. Ultimately, this insightful exploration of the Peloponnesian War offers a timeless examination of the enduring human struggle between peace and conflict, providing a unique perspective on the enduring power of hope and the enduring human desire for a better world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330341063_0
