Ancient Rome and Modern America: A Comparative Study of Morals and Manners
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the differences between the world described in ancient texts and the Europe and America of today, with the context of the authorâs travels in America. The author identifies significant themes across the two worlds such as power, beauty and justice, arguing that these concepts have been and always will be subject to differing interpretations across time. However, the author emphasises that this philosophical divide is not the most important way to identify the differences between ancients and moderns, as these values are too abstract for meaningful comparison. Instead, the most important differences can be observed in the contrasting zeitgeists of the two worlds, most notably in the very different approaches to technology and its possibilities. The author illustrates this by comparing the awe and fear with which ancient thinkers regarded technological progress to the near-universal enthusiasm with which it is welcomed today. These observations are used as a foundation to explore other key questions, such as whether progress is possible or desirable, and to what extent the insights of ancient thinkers can be used to understand the challenges of the contemporary world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
