Description

Plutarch's Cities by Oxford University Press offers the first comprehensive assessment of the significance of the polis within Plutarch's works. This scholarly text examines the polis through multiple lenses, treating it as a physical entity, a lived experience, and a source of inspiration. It also explores the polis as a historical and sociopolitical unit, as well as a theoretical construct used for thinking. By providing a multifocal and multi-perspectival examination of both real and ideal cities, this book corrects conventional images of Plutarch. The research demonstrates that Plutarch was not merely an antiquarian or a philosopher of the desk, but a thinker deeply engaged with the urban structures of his time. This work is an essential resource for those studying classical history, biography, and political theory.
