Description
Martha Nussbaum presents a profound examination of Hellenistic philosophy, framing the schools of Epicureanism, Skepticism, and Stoicism as therapeutic disciplines designed to alleviate human suffering. Through rigorous analysis of primary texts, she explores how these ancient traditions functioned as practical tools for addressing the anxieties and desires that impede a flourishing life.
