FIVE GREAT DIALOGUES
Nothing shore of amazing is the way this great classic (written
more than two thousand years ago) hits so many nails 1
squarely on the head today! Here, in the clearest reasoning in all
literature, is the pure essence of how to get the best out of life
whether we possess worldly wealth cr only the riches in our hearts
and minds.
This beautiful edition contains the five great dialogues. In
these conversations between ftiends fresh, spontaneous, humor
ous, informal you have "philosophy brought down from heaven
to earth."
MARCUS AURELIUS
MEDITATIONS
THROUGH these writings, you gaze as if through a powerful
telescope at the Rome of eighteen centuries ago. You will be
struck by resemblances to our own era as you read the wise Medita
tions of the great emperor.philosopher, Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic
who found peace in traditional customs . . . the winy arguments
of Lucian, the Skeptic, who punctured so many beliefs . . . the im
passioned words of Justin, the Christian, willing to die for the
new religion.

ARISTOTLE
ON MAN IN
THE UNIVERSE
THE master of them that know' this supreme mind of. the
fabulous Golden Age of Greece was called by the poet Dante.
He was so far ahead of his era that his ideas are astonishingly
timely today. Nature, politics, art, drama, logic; morals he ex
plored them all, with a mind open to truth and a heart eager for
understanding.
Included is the essence of his five celebrated essays. You will
be amazed, as you read them, how this great philosopher dis
covered by pure reason so many truths upon which modern scien
tists and thinkers have only recently agreed.

A true "classic" is a living book that will never grow
old. For sheer fascination it can rival the most thrilling
modern novel. Have you ever wondered how the truly
great books have become "classics"? First, because they are
so readable. They would not have lived unless they were
read; they would not have been read unless they were in

stand. And those are the very qualities which characterize
these selections: readability, interest, simplicity.
