Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 'A Problem in Greek Ethics,' John Addington Symonds explores the intricate landscape of ancient Greek moral philosophy, particularly focusing on the complex interplay between love and virtue in male relationships. Written in a period where Victorian moral constraints were being challenged, Symonds employs a scholarly yet lyrical prose style to dissect the often-ambiguous ethical dimensions of pederastic relationships in Greek culture. His approach weaves together historical context, philosophical inquiry, and psychological insight, presenting a critical examination of how these relationships shaped both societal norms and personal identities within the ancient Greek world. John Addington Symonds (1840-1893) was a prominent Victorian scholar, poet, and autobiographer, whose own experiences as a gay man navigating a repressive society undoubtedly informed his insights into Greek ethics. A fervent advocate for sexual liberation and a passionate seeker of authenticity, Symonds' work was often ahead of its time. His deep admiration for Greek civilization-coupled with his conviction that understanding its ethical frameworks could illuminate contemporary moral dilemmas-propelled him to confront the prejudices of his era, offering a revolutionary perspective on love and sexuality. This book is essential for readers interested in the intersections of ethics, sexuality, and classical studies. Symonds not only provides a historical account but also challenges modern readers to reconsider the limitations of contemporary moral thought. For scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the complexities of human relationships, 'A Problem in Greek Ethics' remains a profound study that invites dialogue across time.
