About This Book

Kirjoittaja tarjoaa helppotajuisen elämäkerrallisen ja ajattelun kuvauksen kolmesta pakanallisesta filosofiasta, tarkastellen heidän stoalaista etiikkaansa, käsityksiään kaitselmuksesta, itsehillinnästä ja hyveestä. Kunkin ajattelijan elämää ja teoksia esitellään siten, että lukija saa käsityksen heidän moraalisista pyrkimyksistään sekä siitä, miten vaikeudet ja yhteiskunnallinen ilmapiiri muovasivat heidän ajatteluaan. Teksti yhdistää esipuheen, kolme elämäkertaa ja loppusanat ja päätyy pohtimaan, millä tavoin näiden etsintä kohti totuutta koskettaa ja voi haastaa kristillistä käytäntöä tavoittelemaan korkeampaa siveellisuutta.
