Publisher's Synopsis
This volume provides a comprehensive selection of the central key texts of ancient Greek philosophy, all newly translated by the editor. It is designed to be used in conjunction with "An Introduction to Ancient Philosophy", also by R. James Hankinson to which it is keyed by a simple and comprehensive system of reference. Used on its own, it is a useful teaching anthology to classical Greek philosophy - the texts themselves being linked by a brief commentary analysing their contents and relating them one to another.
