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 constituent 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 expectation of that benevolence evinced by popular religion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51678209474848,"sku":"NEW0199577838","price":201.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81ttAxNy_qL.jpg?v=1779307156","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/greek-popular-religion-in-greek-philosophy-0199577838","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
