The Modern Library Collection of Greek and Roman Philosophy

The Modern Library Collection of Greek and Roman Philosophy 3-Book Bundle: Meditations; Selected Dialogues of Plato; The Basic Works of Aristotle

In the long history of philosophy and literature, few have been so widely read and admired as the great thinkers of Greece and Rome. For modern audiences, this eBook bundleâ€”which collects the Modern Library editions of three classics: Marcus Aureliusâ€™ Meditations, Selected Dialogues of Plato, and The Basic Works of Aristotleâ€”is the perfect introduction to the foundation of modern knowledge. Accompanied by insightful, accessible commentary from some of todayâ€™s top scholars, including Gregory Hays, Hayden Pelliccia, and C.D.C. Reeve, this is a collection of ideas that changed the worldâ€”and have truly stood the test of time.
Â
MEDITATIONS
Â
Marcus Aurelius succeeded his adoptive father as emperor of Rome in A.D. 161â€”and Meditations remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. The Meditations have become required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of the leaderâ€™s style. In Gregory Haysâ€™s seminal translation, Marcusâ€™s thoughts speak with a new immediacy: Never before have they been so directly and powerfully presented.
Â
SELECTED DIALOGUES OF PLATO
Â
In this volume, Hayden Pelliccia has revised five of Benjamin Jowettâ€™s translations of Platoâ€”classics in their own rightâ€”to produce a fresh, modern take that Library Journal calls â€œa needed and welcome addition to the translations of the Dialogues.â€ Here are Ion, Protagoras, Phaedrus, and the famous Symposium, which discuss poetry, the Socratic method, rhetoric, psychology, and love. Most dramatically, Apology puts Socratesâ€™ art of persuasion to the ultimate testâ€”defending his own life.
Â
THE BASIC WORKS OF ARISTOTLE
Â
Preserved by Arabic mathematicians and canonized by Christian scholars, Aristotleâ€™s works have shaped Western thought, science, and religion for nearly two thousand yearsâ€”and Richard McKeonâ€™s edition has long been considered the best available one-volume Aristotle. Here are selections from the Organon, On the Heavens, The Short Physical Treatises, Rhetoric, among others, and On the Soul, On Generation and Corruption, Physics, Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, and Poetics in their entirety.
