Anyone in search of a true heir to the Socratic model of persistent questioning will eventually need to look to Plutarch, who examined nearly everything through the lens of philosophy: history, religion, literature, oratory, animals, and politics, to name a paltry few. But unlike Socrates, Plutarch wrote prolifically. This presents a major challenge for scholars who seek to understand this polymathic Platonist. That he is such a rich source about the ancient world means that his own literary accomplishments have been overlooked in favor of other research goals. On the other hand, those who are interested in Plutarch for his own sake need to make difficult decisions (and exclusions). This means, unfortunately, that many important topics will slip (and have slipped) through the cracks. But, fortunately, this volume marshals some of the world’s finest scholars on Plutarch to fill one such void: the woefully understudied group of texts long known as the “popular philosophical and ethical writings.”
Plutarch of Chaeronea, Platonist, polymath, and prolific writer, was by no means an armchair philosopher. He believed in the necessity for a philosopher to affect the lives of his fellow citizens. That urge inspired many of his writings to meet what he considered people''s true needs. Although these writings on practical ethics illustrate in various ways Plutarch''s authorial talents and raise many challenging questions (regarding their overall structure, content, purpose, and underlying philosophical and social presuppositions), they have attracted only limited scholarly attention.
