Résumé

In "A Problem in Greek Ethics, " John Addington Symonds delves into the complexities of ancient Greek moral philosophy, particularly as it pertains to the interplay of love, friendship, and sexuality. Written in a period when the Victorian values clashed with emerging ideas about human sexuality, Symonds employs a scholarly yet accessible style, intertwining classical texts with a personal narrative that challenges contemporary perceptions of same-sex love.
His meticulous analysis reveals how ancient Greeks navigated ethical relationships that were often shrouded in societal stigma, making a profound case for understanding sexuality as a vital aspect of human experience rather than a moral failing. John Addington Symonds (1840-1893) was a noted English writer and literary scholar often regarded as a pioneering figure in the early LGBTQ+ movement. His own experiences as a homosexual man, combined with his deep admiration for classical antiquity, led him to explore the philosophic foundations of love and desire.
Symonds's personal struggles with societal acceptance reflect in the text, as he invites readers to reconsider the often-misunderstood dynamics of Greek ethics within a broader cultural context. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of ethics, sexuality, and historical philosophy. Symonds's insights into ancient Greek thought provide a foundation for contemporary discussions about love and morality, making it a significant contribution not only to classical scholarship but also to modern understandings of human desire.
