Routledge Companion to Ancient Philosophy

Condensing a huge wealth of expertise, and skilfully combining historical with interpretative orientation, this Companion opens up to a broad readership the seminal movements and ideas that constituted philosophy from the 6th century BC to the 6th century AD.

David Sedley, Cambridge University

The Routledge Companion to Ancient Philosophy is a remarkable accomplishment for at least two reasons. It offers an exceptionally broad view of ancient Greek thought, from the pioneering philosopher-scientists of ancient Ionia down to the leading Neoplatonic thinkers and ancient commentators on Aristotle. It also features an outstanding set of contributors, most of them acknowledged experts on their topic with others who are authors of important recent work.

James Lesher, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

The Routledge Companion to Ancient Philosophy provides authoritative interpretations of key texts while engaging the reader in ongoing, lively controversies. It is a comprehensive and richly detailed resource for anyone interested in the fascinating landscape of Greek and Roman philosophy.
