Excerpt from Translations From Lucian
Zeus. Put the benches in order, you there, and get the place ready for the customers! You, bring in the goods and set them in a row; but brush them up a little first to make them look their best, and attract as many buyers as possible. Do you, Hermes, put up the lots, and bid purchasers welcome to the saleroom. We beg to announce a sale of philosophic characters of every class and variously assorted principles. Customers finding it inconvenient to pay cash down may give security for the amount of their purchase, and settle next year.
Hermes. They are coming in in crowds. We had better begin at once, so as not to keep them waiting.
Zeus. By all means let us do so.
Herm. Whom do you want brought out first?
Zeus. That long-haired fellow - the Ionian; he looks rather an imposing personage.
Herm. You there, Pythagoras, come down and let the gentlemen have a look at you. Gentlemen, the article I offer you is one of the best and most high-class character. Who buys? Who wants to soar above mere humanity? Who wants to understand the harmony of the universe, and live again after death?
Customer. He is rather grand to look at, certainly. But what exactly is his specialty?

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents compelling arguments against the phenomenon of philosophers selling themselves as companions to emperors and wealthy patrons. The author explores the motivations and consequences of the practice, challenging the justifications given by philosophers who defend it. By examining the historical context, the author sheds light on how philosophers' status and treatment influence their work. The book also discusses the ethical implications of philosophers' dependency on wealthy patrons and argues that true philosophy should be independent and critical, rather than subservient to those in power. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the relationship between philosophy and society, exploring the challenges and rewards of pursuing wisdom in a world often hostile to critical thinking. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331308607_0
