Description
This is the first reprint of Taylor’s original translation produced in two volumes in 1804; but published here as one volume. Maximus Tyrius was a leading `Middle-Platonist’, who lived and worked in a period prior to that of the great Plotinus. His 41 dissertations, supplemented with Taylor’s additional notes, deal with some profound philosophical and moral problems in a simple, but delightful and approachable manner. The Triumph of the Wise Man over Fortune, an essay by Taylor, is also included in this volume as an appendix.
