Description
This new edition of Hellenistic Philosophy offers a comprehensive introduction to the subject, featuring nearly 100 pages of additional material. It includes the first English translation of Arius Didymmus' account of Stoic ethics, as well as substantial new sources on Epicureanism, Stoicism, and Scepticism.
The edition has been revised by Brad Inwood and Gerson to maintain consistency and accuracy, with some material regrouped into larger, more thematically connected passages. The book also features a fuller presentation of papyrological evidence and an improved page design.
