Reception of Greek Ethics in Late Antiquity and Byzantium

"Authored by an interdisciplinary team of experts, including historians, classicists, Byzantinists, philosophers and theologians, this original collection of essays offers the first authoritative analysis of the multifacted reception of Greek ethics in late antiquity and Byzantium (ca. third-fourteenth centuries), opening up a hitherto under-explored topic in the history of Greek philosophy. The essays discuss the sophisticated ways in which moral themes and controversies from antiquity were reinvigorated and transformed by later authors to align with their philosophical and religious outlook in each period. Topics examined range from ethics and politics in Neoplatonism and ethos in the context of rhetorical theory and performance to textual exegesis on Aristotelian ethics. The volume will appeal to scholars and students in philosophy, classics, patristic theology, Byzantine studies and those working on the history of education and the development of Greek ethics."--
