Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Plato, the great philosopher of Athens, was born in 427 BC. In early manhood an admirer of Socrates, he later founded the famous school of philosophy in the grove Academus. Much else recorded of his life is uncertain; that he left Athens for a time after Socrates' execution is probable; that later he went to Cyrene, Egypt, and Sicily is possible; that he was wealthy is likely; that he was critical of 'advanced' democracy is obvious. He lived to be 80 years old. Linguistic tests including those of computer science still try to establish the order of his extant philosophical dialogues, written in splendid prose and revealing Socrates' mind fused with Plato's thought.

Buch
Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Art of Love' is a vivaciously witty poem on the art of seduction, with illustrative stories interwoven. Ovid tells men how to find a suitable mistress, how to win her and retain her affections; he goes on to instruct women on the art of captivating and retaining a lover. These lessons are cleverly reversed in 'Remedies for Love,' in which the poet gives directions for falling out of love. This volume also contains 'Cosmetics,' 'Ibis,' and three poems now judged not to be by Ovid. Mozley's edition has been revised and updated by G. P. Goold.
