Who this is
“Plutarch invented the philosophical life-portrait — the idea that the story of how a person actually lived can teach you more about how to live than any argument.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Character is the real subject of philosophy, and character is best learned not from rules but from lives — closely watched, honestly told, and used as mirrors for your own.”
