Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""The Emperor Julian's Relation To The New Sophistic And Neo-Platonism: With A Study Of His Style"" is a book written by Wilmer Cave France. It is a detailed analysis of the life and reign of the Roman Emperor Julian, who ruled from 361 to 363 AD. The book explores Julian's relationship with the philosophical schools of the time, particularly the New Sophistic and Neo-Platonism. The New Sophistic was a movement that emphasized the use of rhetoric and language to persuade and influence others. Neo-Platonism, on the other hand, was a philosophical school that drew heavily from the teachings of Plato and emphasized the existence of a higher reality beyond the material world. France's book examines how Julian was influenced by these schools of thought and how they shaped his worldview and policies during his brief reign. The author also analyzes Julian's writing style and argues that it reflects his philosophical beliefs and political agenda. Overall, ""The Emperor Julian's Relation To The New Sophistic And Neo-Platonism: With A Study Of His Style"" provides a comprehensive look at one of the most fascinating figures in Roman history and his relationship with the intellectual currents of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
