{"product_id":"greek-popular-religion-in-greek-philosophy","title":"Greek Popular Religion in Greek Philosophy","description":"\u003cp\u003eJon D. Mikalson examines how Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and other Greek philosophers described, interpreted, criticized, and utilized the components and concepts of the religion of the people of their time - practices such as sacrifice, prayer, dedications, and divination.  The chief concepts involved are those of piety and impiety, and after a thorough analysis of the philosophical texts Mikalson offers a refined definition of Greek piety, dividing it into its two\n\u003cbr\u003econstituent elements of `proper respect' for the gods and `religious correctness'.  He concludes with a demonstration of the benevolence of the gods in the philosophical tradition, linking it to the\n\u003cbr\u003eexpectation of that benevolence evinced by popular religion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156312256750,"sku":"9780199577835","price":282.85,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199577835.jpg?v=1706223117","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/greek-popular-religion-in-greek-philosophy","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
