Document Details : Title: Political Concepts in Plutarch's Dion and Timoleon Author(s): DE BLOIS, L. Journal: Ancient Society Volume: 28 Date: 1997 Pages: 209-224 DOI: 10.2143/AS.28.0.630076 Abstract : This paper focuses on three important political concepts which Plutarch employs in his Dion and Timoleon. First, especially in the Dion, the wise man as opposed to the tyrant. Secondly the tension between policies guided by sound philosophical and moral principles on the one hand and wrongly materialistically oriented mobs — people or soldiers — on the other hand, and thirdly the causes of failure and success in politics. |
