Sommario/riassunto

Kechagia rehabilitates Plutarch as a thinker and historian of philosophy by offering an analysis of 'Against Colotes', an anti-Epicurean treatise in which Plutarch discusses some of the most important philosophical theories. The book argues that Plutarch produces insightful philosophical interpretations of past theories.
