Description

Explore the connection between expertise and morality in Skill in Ancient Ethics: The Legacy of China, Greece and Rome. Published by Bloomsbury Academic, this collection examines how skill has served as a foundation for philosophical thought across different cultures. From Socrates' search for virtue to the Stoics' concept of the art of life, this book investigates how ancient thinkers viewed the mastery of craft as a way to live well. The text covers a wide range of perspectives, including Aristotle's views on politike techne and the Republic's focus on the craft of justice. By looking at both Western and Eastern traditions, readers gain a deep understanding of how skill shaped ethical frameworks. The book is organized into six distinct sections, allowing for a structured study of Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, and Chinese philosophers like Mencius, Xunzi, the Mohists, and Zhuangzi. This volume provides a comprehensive look at how the mastery of specific skills relates to the pursuit of a good life.
