Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. [From the library of noted scholar Richard A. Macksey.] Volume 3, The Hellenistic-Roman Period. Bound in publisher's cloth. Gilt lettering. Hardcover. Ancient Greek, Latin, and English text. Good binding and cover. Contemporary signature of Macksey on front end page. xv, 668 p., 25 cm. "The profound political change in the Greek world after Alexander had its reflection in philosophical thought. The disappearance of the polis, the loss of freedom, the utter uncertainty of all outward circumstances of life, lead on the one hand to a narrowing of the interests (individualism and culture of the personality as an aim in itself), on the other hand to an extension of the ken (universalism). On the whole, they lead to a striving for inner peace, which consists of being freed from passions and desires." "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University.
