The Hellenistic Philosophers, I-II.: Translations of the Principal Sources with Philosophical Commentary - Greek and Latin Texts with Notes and Bibliography

Összefoglaló

Volume 1 presents the texts in new translations by the authors, and these are accompanied by a philosophical and historical commentary designed for use by all readers, including those with no background in the classical world. With its glossary and indexes, this volume can stand alone as an independent tool of study. This comprehensive sourcebook makes available in the original Latin and Greek the principal extant texts required for the study of the Stoic, Epicurean and skeptical schools of philosophy. The material is organized by schools, and within each school topics are treated thematically. The volume presents the same texts, with some additional passages, as are translated in Volume 1. A large annotated bibliography is also included.
