«L'arte di ascoltare» is the philosophical essay by Plutarch, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (128 pages, in Italian).
A practical philosophy manual drawn from the Moralia: Plutarch defends listening as an essential part of communication and shows how arrogance or presumption damage dealings with others. With anecdotes and quotations from Homer and ancient philosophers, it invites young people to mature with serenity and reflection, shunning empty words.
Complete edition with the Greek text facing, published in 2014 in the Live collection by Newton Compton.
A work intended for young people, though its message about listening and serenity may interest any reader of practical philosophy.
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.
