Summary

Yale Classics (Vol. 2) brings together a panorama of writings from some of the most pivotal figures in classical antiquity, presented in a wide range of literary forms—from philosophical treatises and poignant poetry to historical narratives and dramatic scripts. The anthology skillfully encapsulates the multi-faceted dimensions of ancient Roman and Greek thought, illustrating both the diversity and the interconnectedness of these civilizations. Noteworthy are the contributions from genres that defined their eras, such as epic poetry, satire, and historiography, which collectively underscore the intellectual breadth of the classical world. The anthology's contributors—ranging from poets like Virgil and Catullus to philosophers like Seneca and statesmen like Cicero—reflect a vibrant cross-section of ancient intellectual life. These authors were integral to various movements such as the development of Golden and Silver Latin literature, and the philosophical inquiries of Stoicism and Epicureanism. Together, their works not only align with but also actively shaped the socio-political and cultural contours of their times, offering readers a nuanced understanding of classical antiquity's legacy. Yale Classics (Vol. 2) is thus an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to delve into the rich tapestry of classical literature. It presents a unique opportunity to engage with the myriad perspectives and literary textures of a transformative epoch. Educators, students, and general readers alike will find in this volume a profound source for education and inspiration, furthering an appreciation of how these ancient voices continue to inform modern thought and dialogue.

    The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project). 
 
Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed. 
 
Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation. 
 
At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation. 
 
The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room! 
 
“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
