«Sull'amore» is a philosophical dialogue by Plutarch, published by Newton Compton in paperback (98 pages, in Italian).
In this dialogue, included in the Moralia, Plutarch defends conjugal love and writes a eulogy of Eros. He observes human customs to point the way towards virtue, and combines philosophical reflection, traditional religion and a positive assessment of marriage and women, with echoes of Plato's Phaedrus and Symposium.
Edition with the Greek text and Italian translation on facing pages, edited by Emma Maria Gigliozzi, in the Tascabili economici Newton collection.
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.
