Description

These selected writings from the likes of Plato, Socrates, Diogenes, Pythagoras and Aristotle cover subjects such as money, child-raising politics, philosophy, law, virtue love and action. Translated from the Arabic source that preserved Greek thought throughout the Middle Ages, these writings conclude with an appendix of sayings and fragments from Buddhist, Taoist and Muslim sources, to show the universal quality of sayings of the Greek sages, and hinting at the early interaction of Eastern and Western cultures.
