Sobre este artículo
New. <b>A unique, portable guidebook that sketches Romeâs great philosophical tradition while also providing an engaging travel companion to the city.</b><br /> Â <br /> This is a guidebook to Rome for those interested in both <i>la dolce vita</i> and what the ancient Romans called the <i>vita beata</i>âthe good life. Philosopher Scott Samuelson offers a thinkerâs tour of the Eternal City, rooting ideas from this philosophical tradition within the geography of the city itself. As he introduces the cityâs great works of art and its most famous sitesâthe Colosseum, the Forum, the Campo deâ FioriâSamuelson also gets to the heart of the knotty ethical and emotional questions they pose. Practicing philosophy in place, <i>Rome as a Guide to the Good Life</i> tackles the profound questions that most tours of Rome only bracket. What does all this history tell us about who we are?<br /><br /> In addition to being a thoughtful philosophical companion, Samuelson is also a memorable tour guide, taking us on plenty of detours and pausing to linger over an afternoon Negroni, sample four classic Roman pastas, or explore the cityâs best hidden gems. With Samuelsonâs help, we understand why Rome has inspired philosophers such as Lucretius and Seneca, poets and artists such as Horace and Caravaggio, filmmakers like Fellini, and adventurers like Rosa Bathurst. This eclectic guidebook to Roman philosophy is for intrepid wanderers and armchair travelers alikeâanyone who wants not just a change of scenery, but a change of soul.
