«Cómo sacar provecho de los enemigos» is the philosophical essay by Plutarch, published by Siruela in paperback, with 176 pages, in Spanish.
It brings together two texts by Plutarch on friendship, a central subject in Greek philosophy. In the first, he argues that the criticisms of enemies reveal one's own faults, foster self-control, and improve one's dealings with others. In the second, he explains how to distinguish the flatterer who feigns friendship from the true friend.
Number 14 in the Biblioteca de Ensayo / Serie menor collection. Includes a prologue by José García López and a translation by Concepción Morales Otal and José García López.
Aimed at readers of classical philosophy and moral essays, with an interest in the Greco-Latin tradition.
Plutarch was a Greek and later Roman Middle Platonist philosopher, historian, biographer, essayist, and priest at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. He is known primarily for his Parallel Lives, a series of biographies of illustrious Greeks and Romans, and Moralia, a collection of essays and speeches. Upon becoming a Roman citizen, he was possibly named Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus.
