| Summary: | In 'Plutarch?s Moon' Luisa Lesage Gárriga offers a new approach on Plutarch?s views on cosmos, the afterlife and salvation, focusing on one of his most fascinating treatises. Dealing with the nature and function of the moon from multiple perspectives, this treatise offers a comprehensive overview of scientific knowledge and religious-philosophical thought from the first centuries CE. Yet, up until now no single scholar has attempted an integral approach to its various and complementary perspectives, generally focusing on a specific aspect, as if they were unrelated. 0By means of this study, the author shows that 'De facie' is a literary creation that reflects and conveys a coherent worldview, finally providing a solid and overarching understanding of the treatise. |
