Inhalt:
This volume, 'Xenophon’s Studies,' edited by Gabriel Danzig, David M. Johnson, and David Konstan, is the first in a series dedicated to exploring the virtues in the works of Xenophon, an ancient Greek philosopher and historian. The book originates from a conference focused on Xenophon's views on virtue, bringing together diverse scholarly perspectives. It examines how Xenophon bridges the gap between theoretical and practical ethics, contrasting his views with those of Plato and Aristotle. The collection includes discussions on various virtues such as courage, piety, moderation, magnificence, and intellectual virtues, highlighting Xenophon’s unique contributions to Greek ethical and political thought. The book serves as a crucial resource for scholars interested in classical studies, particularly those focusing on Greek ethics, virtue theory, and the Socratic tradition.
