Luckless : The Idea of Luck in Ancient Greek Thought
Overview
Many contemporary thinkers appeal to the idea of luck to explain why some people flourish and others suffer or perish. Schillinger, on the other hand, argues that this vision of luck's power is illusory at best and dangerous at worst. His book returns to ancient Greek thought to make a provocative and lively argument about luck that can help us understand ethical and political life in the present. Luckless reflects Schillinger's experience with and loving attention to thinkers such as Aristotle, Euripides, Herodotus, Thucydides, and Sophocles.
