(Walter Horatio) Marius the Epicurean — Volume 2 Alfred J. Drake. HTML version by Al Haines. "Marius the Epicurean — Volume 2" by Walter Pater is a philosophical novel written in the early 20th century. It continues the exploration of the main character, Marius, as he contemplates the nature of morality, beauty, and the human experience against the backdrop of ancient Rome. The book delves into Marius's evolving understanding of Epicurean and Stoic philosophies, reflecting on his personal development and the societal influences around him. The opening of the second volume introduces Marius during a public discourse at the temple of Peace, where the Stoic philosopher Cornelius Fronto delivers a speech on the Nature of Morals. Marius is deeply affected by this address, prompting him to reflect on his own philosophical beliefs and the apparent disconnect between his Epicurean ideals and the moral expectations of society. As he grapples with these thoughts, he begins to question the validity of his previous convictions, exploring the interplay between aesthetic beauty and ethical behavior. The narrative sets the stage for Marius's internal struggle as he searches for a way to reconcile his personal ideals with the broader moral landscape of his time.
