Storia della filosofia. Vol. 2: Dal cinismo al neoplatonismo

Storia della filosofia / Reale-Antiseri #2

by Giovanni Reale, Dario Antiseri

A partire dal III secolo avanti Cristo il mondo classico cede il testimone all'ellenismo. Nuove correnti di pensiero permeano l'universo culturale del tempo: il cinismo, l'epicureismo e lo stoicismo. Tra il I e il II secolo dopo Cristo la lezione del pensiero greco raggiunge Roma e contagia Seneca e Marco Aurelio, l'imperatore filosofo.
