Description

Hellenistic Philosophy offers a thematic introduction to the philosophy of this era, highlighting the practical outlook common among Hellenistic thinkers. This period saw the development of two new schools of thought and important developments in Plato's Academy.

The works of Hellenistic philosophers had a vital influence on later thought, particularly in the development of early modern philosophy. This book provides an accessible outline of this important era, making it useful for students and general readers interested in the period.

It is also an invaluable resource for teaching, with its guide to Hellenistic philosophers, chronology, and extensive cross-references to standard collections of ancient texts.
