Summary: "Selected Essays of Plutarch, Vol. II" by Plutarch is a collection of philosophical and moral essays written in the late first century. This volume primarily features dialogues that explore topics such as divine providence, the nature of oracles, and the heroic exploits of historical figures like Socrates and Pelopidas. The essays are characterized by Plutarch's deep interest in ethics and human virtue, examining the interplay between character, fate, and moral responsibility. The opening of this volume introduces the dialogue "On the Genius of Socrates," where characters engage in a discussion surrounding the historical recovery of Thebes from Spartan rule, intertwining themes of courage and moral philosophy. Capheisias recounts the events surrounding this mission, while the characters delve into the meaning of Socrates' divine sign, a mysterious guiding presence that influenced his decisions. The narrative is rich with references to historical events, philosophical inquiries, and character studies, setting the stage for a broader exploration of how virtue and ethics manifest in human actions and decisions.
