“The great texts of Antiquity, Hebrew and Greek, which laid the foundations of our culture, speak of happiness. Their primary and ultimate purpose is to propose an ethics—that is, a way of living—so as to live without fear and without anguish.
That is their subject. Everything else is subordinate to it. Yet throughout history, academic, doctrinal, or ideological interpretation has obscured or distorted this purpose to the point of making it disappear. This book recovers it and places Antiquity and its classics within a radically contemporary perspective—useful and rigorous.
Civilization and technology have transformed the landscape of society, but the work of becoming masters of our own lives is still ours to do. Nothing has changed.”—Alejandro Gándara
