Description: ISBN10: 1890318965, ISBN13: 9781890318963, [publisher: St. Augustine's Press Inc.] Softcover VIII, 211 S. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT), sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Xenophon’s only true Socratic discourse, the Oeconomicus, is a dialogue between Socrates and a gentleman-farmer on the art of household management and the art of farming as practiced on a gentleman’s estate. It is generally acknowledged to be the oldest surviving work devoted to "economics," and it constitutes the classic statement of "economic" thought in ancient Greece. -- The dialogue examines the roles of husband and wife ip the household and the division of labor between them, and considers the duties of the farm steward and the housekeeper. It discusses the goals of efficient management and the means for attaining these goals. Professor Strauss interprets every chapter of the discourse, pointing out the relationship of each part to other parts. He also compares Xenophon’s statements in this work to those in his other works and to the statements of other Greek writers. -- Strauss shows that Xenophon, who knew and admired Socrates, chose a subject particularly suitable for a Socratic discourse. The Oeconomicus, he maintains, is best understood as a profoundly ironic reply by Xenophon to Aristophanes’ treatment of Socrates in The Clouds. -- This work is the second of Strauss’s trilogy on the writings of Xenophon. The others include On Tyranny and Xenophon's Socrates. ISBN 9781890318963 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 549 15,9 x 1,9 x 23,5 cm, Originalhardcover.
