Specialists in various areas of philosophy from Europe, North America, and Australia explain the major themes, theories, and arguments of the most prominent ancient Greek philosophers for students and prospective students of philosophy, or educated general readers who are intimidated by the mass of opinion tossed casually around the discipline like so many medicine balls. After introductory essays on philosophy and what the ancient Greeks mean today, they cover the literary precursors of philosophy including Homer and Aesop, the pre-Socratics and Socrates, the classical period, the Hellenistic philosophers, the Roman period, and archaeological sites. Playwrights and historians are among the figures profiled, such as Thucydides and Aristophanes. There is no index.
