Product Description
Long neglected and unappreciated, the philosophy of the Greek and Roman worlds–from the last days of Aristotle (c. 320 BC) until 100 B.C.–has over the last decade received a considerable amount of renewed scholarly attention. This history is organized by subject, rather than chronologically or by philosophical school, with sections on logic, epistemology, physics and metaphysics, ethics and politics. Written by specialists, it is intended to be a reference for any student of ancient philosophy. Greek and Latin are used sparingly and always translated in the main text.
Reviews
“… one should simply congratulate the editors, and Cambridge University Press, on bringing it to maturity. It is a fine, and authoritative, work of reference: a report written by specialists, but accessible to any student of philosophy, as well as of its ancient counterpart, or of classics – not least … for its readability.” The Times Literary Supplement
