4.9/5 (29761 ratings)

Description:Arthur Eckstein's fresh and stimulating interpretation challenges the way Polybius' "Histories" have long been viewed. He argues that Polybius evaluates people and events as much from a moral viewpoint as from a pragmatic, utilitarian, or even "Machiavellian" one. Polybius particularly asks for "improvement" in his audience, hoping that those who study his writings will emerge with a firm determination to live their lives nobly. Teaching by the use of moral exemplars, Polybius also tries to prove that success is not the sole standard by which human action should be judged.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
