Looking for Theophrastus

Travels in Search of a Lost Philosopher

Laura Beatty
A pupil of Plato and colleague of Aristotle, Theophrastus was both an important philosopher and a pioneering botanist, yet he is largely forgotten today. As Beatty follows in his footsteps around the Mediterranean world, she sets the elusive thinker’s life within the political context of the rise of Macedon and traces the long cultural influence of his writings, focusing in particular on his entertaining collection of 30 character-sketches.
