Plutarch’s writings remain just as relevant today as they were when he wrote them. As we survey this great Roman writer, we’ll focus on the following questions:
- Why are we indebted to Plutarch for the prominence of poetry in our literary canon?
- According to Plutarch, why should parents invest in the education of their children?
- How are Plutarch’s guidelines on how to learn as relevant today as they were to the imperial Roman?
Recommended Reading: Plutarch, The Education of Children. Plutarch, On Listening to Lectures.
