Über diesen Titel

 Dive into the world of Theophrastus (c. 371 – c. 287 BC), the ancient Greek philosopher who succeeded Aristotle in the Peripatetic School. Renowned for his contributions across various fields—biology, geology, physics, metaphysics, psychology, ethics, and logic—he crafted a remarkable collection titled Characters. This work presents thirty vivid and incisive sketches of moral archetypes, offering a fascinating glimpse into the life of his era and the essence of human nature. These character portrayals, the earliest systematic attempts at character writing, resonate with modern readers, illustrating that despite the passage of time, the descriptions could easily apply to the citizens of contemporary cities like London or Boston as they did to the Athenians of 300 B.C. This edition is enhanced with a comprehensive introduction that sheds light on Theophrastus’s life and philosophical insights. - Summary by Book Introduction, Wikipedia, and David Wales
