Paperback. Zustand: Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Teles of Megara was a Greek pedagogue and moralist from the mid-third century BCE. His work is the oldest and best-preserved representation of popular Hellenistic philosophy, particularly the Cynic diatribe literary genre, which can be seen as a forerunner to the Christian sermon. The fragments preserved in John Stobaeus's anthology show Teles addressing a general audience, especially young men, to teach moral lessons. His philosophy focused on bringing human nature in line with Socratic and Cynic principles, aiming for authenticity and self-sufficiency. The book is a critical resource for understanding ancient Cynicism and Stoicism, illustrating the Cynic method of teaching.
