Literary Meditations for Pandemic Times: Reflections on Plague Classics
Autor Dustin Peoneen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 ian 2023 – vârsta de la 12 ani
In this book, originally published as Plague Literature and now in its second edition, the philosopher Dustin Peone offers reflections on ten literary classics set during plague times. From each work, he draws one central insight that is applicable to our situation today and all future pandemics. These insights are lessons in prudence, taught by the sages of the past. This is a book about how to pursue the good life during a pandemic and what it means to flourish in dark times, not just to survive.
"This is a unique and timely work, offering the reader a systematic and historical perspective on the difficult and dangerous conditions of the present time."
-Donald Phillip Verene, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Emory University
"An invaluable book, beautifully written in a classical style characterized by clarity and wit."
-Brian P. Quaranta, Trent Center for Bioethics, Humanities, and History of Medicine, Duke University
"Peone's book offers penetrating and essential insight about what is necessary for human flourishing in pandemic conditions. This should be read by anyone wishing to understand not only how to survive, but how to live well in dark and unsettling times."
-Rebecca U. Thorpe, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Washington
