Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Discourse 11 Arete by Methodius is a philosophical treatise that explores the concept of virtue, or arete, in ancient Greek thought. Written by the Christian bishop Methodius in the 3rd century AD, the book draws upon the teachings of Plato, Aristotle, and other Greek philosophers to argue that true virtue can only be achieved through a life devoted to God. Methodius contends that the pursuit of worldly pleasures and material wealth ultimately leads to moral corruption and spiritual decay, and that only by cultivating a virtuous character can one attain true happiness and fulfillment. The book is structured as a series of dialogues between various characters, including a philosopher, a young man, and a woman, who engage in debates about the nature of virtue and its relationship to God. Through these conversations, Methodius offers a compelling vision of the ideal Christian life, one that is characterized by humility, self-control, and a deep commitment to moral excellence.For many who thought that to repress vehement lascivious desires constituted chastity, neglecting other duties connected with it, failed also in this, and have brought blame(2) upon those endeavouring after it by the fight way, as you have proved who are a model in everything, leading a virgin life in deed and word. And now what that is which becomes a virgin state has been described.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work. …
