This work explores the multifaceted relationship between Plutarch’s ethics and his religious beliefs, delving into the tension between the traditional pagan faith and the emerging philosophical ideologies during his time. The essay likely aims to contextualize Plutarch in the realm of early Christian thought while evaluating the moral implications of his religious views. At the start of the essay, the author provides an introduction that discusses the initial publication of a volume focusing on Plutarch’s ethics, highlighting recent revisions in the new edition. The first chapter outlines the characteristics of modern European religions and contrasts them with Roman religion, positing that the latter was rooted more in rational thought than emotional appeal. Oakesmith articulates the problems faced by Roman religion in the light of Greek philosophy, suggesting that traditional beliefs grew increasingly inadequate for the moral requirements of society, laying the groundwork for the subsequent exploration of Plutarch's religious views throughout the text. This introduction sets the stage for a deeper investigation into the interrelation of ethics, religion, and philosophy in the context of a transformational period in history.
