About this ebook:
In het themaboekje van de Week van de Klassieken gaat David Rijser op zoek naar manieren waarop denken in antieke literatuur en beeldende kunst werd weergegeven. Dat voert hem langs homerische helden die praktische beslissingen moeten nemen en daarbij 'hun gemoed toespreken', langs filosofen die verstijfd in een portiek staan en langs Romeinen die met hun geweten worstelen. Rijser kijkt daarbij het portret van Socrates doordringend in de ogen, snuffelt rond in het 'denkatorium' uit een komedie van Aristophanes, luistert meelevend naar de wanhoop van Medea en Dido - en ontdekt ten slotte dat kerkvader Augustinus de literaire vorm die hij aan het denkproces gaf ontleende aan de Latijnse erotische poëzie. Stof tot nadenken dus!
