It does so by introducing several of the most insightful and enduringly relevant of the classic texts, including: - Plato, The Republic & Phaedo- Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics- The Stoics: Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius- Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy- Spinoza, Ethics- Hume, A Treatise on Human Nature- Kant, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals- Schiller, 'On Grace and Dignity'- Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling- Schopenhauer, 'On Human Nature'- Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil & The Genealogy of Morals- Mill, On Liberty & Utilitarianism There is no better way to rediscover what the pursuit of virtue meant to our forebears-and how it can inspire and enrich our lives today.
