Description

This comprehensive study by Michael Trapp examines philosophical thought during the Imperial period, drawing on an unusually broad range of sources to explore central issues of personal morality, political theory, and social organisation. The book investigates philosophy as the pursuit of self-improvement and happiness, the conceptualisation and management of emotion, attitudes and obligations to others, and ideas of the self and personhood. Trapp also addresses constitutional theory, the role of the ruler, and the constituents of the good community. Texts and thinkers discussed include Alexander of Aphrodisias, Aspasius, Alcinous, Hierocles, Seneca, and Musonius, providing readers with a rich foundation in how Imperial Roman philosophers approached ethics, governance, and human flourishing.
