Beskrivning

Spanning a wide range of texts, figures, and traditions from the ancient Mediterranean world, this volume gathers far-reaching, interdisciplinary papers on Greek philosophy from an international group of scholars.The book’s 16 chapters address an array of topics and themes, extending from the formation of philosophy from its first stirrings in archaic Greek as well as Egyptian, Persian, Mesopotamian, and Indian sources, through central concepts in ancient Greek philosophy and literatures of the classical period and into the Hellenistic age. Studies in Ancient Greek Philosophy offers both in-depth, rigorous, attentive investigations of canonical texts in Western philosophy, such as Plato’s Phaedo, Gorgias, Republic, Phaedrus, Protagoras and the Metaphysics, De Caelo, Nichomachean Ethics, Generation and Corruption of Aristotle’s corpus, as well as inquiries that reach back into the rich archives of the Mediterranean Basin and forward into the traditions of classical philosophy beyond the ancient world.Studies in Ancient Greek Philosophy is of interest to students and scholars working on different aspects of ancient Greek philosophy, as well as ancient philosophy, more broadly.

Recensioner i media

"This engaging set of papers on ancient thought, from the period of the Presocratics through Plato, Aristotle, and Epicurus, comes at its topics from interesting and surprising perspectives. Several chapters raise questions of particular interest: What is philosophy? How did it arise? How has it reshaped human life?Ronald Polansky, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Duquesne University"Anthony Preus, a stalwart champion of Ancient Greek Philosophy, has fostered an invaluable community for thousands of scholars in Ancient Philosophy. Everyone currently working in Greek Philosophy is in his debt. The range of this collection’s sixteen chapters offers a fitting tribute to Preus' ongoing presence in Ancient Philosophy."Michael M. Shaw, Professor of Philosophy, Utah Valley University, Co-Director, Ancient Philosophy Society
