Description

The Therapy of Desire: A Hellenistic Approach to Philosophy and Life. This book offers a fresh perspective on ancient philosophy, exploring how the Epicureans, Skeptics, and Stoics approached life's most pressing issues. Martha Nussbaum argues that these schools have been overlooked in recent philosophical accounts, but their ideas remain relevant today. By examining the works of philosophers such as Epicurus, Lucretius, and Seneca, Nussbaum recovers a valuable source for contemporary moral and political thought. The Therapy of Desire addresses key concerns, including the psychology of human passion and the role of philosophy in public and private life. Nussbaum's work is written for both general readers and specialists, making it an accessible yet engaging read on the intersection of philosophy and everyday life.
