Publisher's Synopsis
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 Wright in 1896. The book explores the life and works of the Roman Emperor Julian, who was known for his interest in philosophy and his attempt to revive paganism in the Roman Empire. Wright examines Julian's relationship with the New Sophistic movement, which was a revival of Greek rhetoric and oratory in the second century AD. He also explores Julian's interest in Neo-Platonism, a philosophical movement that sought to reconcile Platonic philosophy with the teachings of the ancient Greek mystics. In addition, the book includes a study of Julian's writing style, which Wright argues was influenced by both the New Sophistic and Neo-Platonist movements. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of Julian's philosophical and literary influences, making it a valuable resource for scholars of ancient philosophy and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
