1855 Ancient Philosophers 1ed Wisdom Socrates Aristotle Plato Xenophon Aurelius



“Wisdom, Wit and Whims of Distinguished Ancient Philosophers” by Joseph Banvard provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of nearly 100 notable ancient philosophers. It does not delve into the intricacies of their philosophical systems but instead focuses on the most compelling events and characteristics of these figures. Drawing on historical texts that had not been previously widely available, the book offers anecdotes, personal habits, and pithy sayings, all arranged alphabetically for easy reference. Each philosophers entry brings to light their interactions, their most notable quips, and the curious and challenging questions they faced, offering a rich tapestry of the intellectual heritage of ancient times.
