It includes important texts by Plato and Aristotle on the status and the role of the arts in society and in education, and Longinus' reflections on the sublime in literature, in addition to less well-known writings by Philodemus, Cicero, Seneca, Plotinus, Augustine and Proclus. Most of the texts have been newly translated for this volume, and some are available in English for the first time. A detailed introduction traces the development of classical aesthetics from its roots in Platonism and Aristotelianism to its ultimate form in late Antiquity.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eGorgias: Encomium of Helen\u003cbr\u003e Plato: Ion\u003cbr\u003e Hippias Major\u003cbr\u003e Symposium\u003cbr\u003e Republic\u003cbr\u003e Phaedrus\u003cbr\u003e Timaeus\u003cbr\u003e Sophist\u003cbr\u003e Xenophon: Memoirs of Socrates\u003cbr\u003e Aristotle: Poetics\u003cbr\u003e Politics\u003cbr\u003e Philodemus: On Poems\u003cbr\u003e On Music\u003cbr\u003e Cicero: On Rhetorical Invention\u003cbr\u003e On the Ideal Orator\u003cbr\u003e Orator\u003cbr\u003e On Moral Ends\u003cbr\u003e On the Nature of the Gods\u003cbr\u003e Tusculan Disputations\u003cbr\u003e On Duties\u003cbr\u003e Seneca: Letters to Lucilius\u003cbr\u003e On the Award and Reception of Favours\u003cbr\u003e Longinus: On Sublimity: Philostratus: Life of Apollonius of Tyana\u003cbr\u003e Pictures\u003cbr\u003e Philostratus the Younger: Pictures\u003cbr\u003e Aristides Quintilianus: On Music\u003cbr\u003e Plotinus: Enneads\u003cbr\u003e Augustine: On Order\u003cbr\u003e On Music\u003cbr\u003e On True Religion\u003cbr\u003e On Free Choice of the Will\u003cbr\u003e Confessions\u003cbr\u003e On the Trinity\u003cbr\u003e Proclus: Commentary on the Timaeus\u003cbr\u003e Commentary on the Republic\u003cbr\u003e Anonymous: Prolegomena to the Philosophy of Plato.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of Western philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of Western philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20Western%20philosophy%20%5BHPC%5D%22\"\u003eHPC\u003c\/a\u003e], Ancient history: to c 500 CE [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Ancient history: to c 500 CE\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Ancient%20history:%20to%20c%20500%20CE%20%5BHBLA%5D%22\"\u003eHBLA\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45909015691544,"sku":"9780521547925","price":27.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521547925i_17b88275-e8d7-4340-8cf5-508ee8cf298b.jpg?v=1691369521","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/greek-and-roman-aesthetics-paperback-9780521547925","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
