Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of ancient Greek dialogues concerning the nature of oracles, why their responses have dwindled, and what this means for humanity's connection with the divine. These dialogues cover the decline of oracles in Greece and Egypt, with discussions on the immortality of the soul, the existence of Daemons, and the nature of the divine. The participants, including Plutarch himself, explore various theories, such as the idea that oracles have ceased because humanity has become too wicked. However, the dialogues also suggest that there may be more to the story, that the gods may be communicating in different ways, and that humans must navigate the world with a balance of reason and faith. The author provides a nuanced and multifaceted examination of the role of oracles in ancient Greek religion and philosophy, exploring the significance of their decline and the implications for our understanding of the divine.
