Abstract

This penultimate chapter is concerned with two issues that are related to the topic of labor and leisure. The first section of this chapter studies the Roman context of Philodemusâ conceptualization of the landowning sage and investigates the ways in which Philodemusâ views entail a clarification of contemporary Roman thought on property management and agriculture. The second section explores the role of slaves in the Epicurean sageâs carefree estate ownership. Subsequently, it takes a closer look at the status of these slaves and their chances of ever becoming sages themselves.
