Description

Knowledge, Nature, and the Good brings together some of John Cooper's most important works on ancient philosophy. In thirteen chapters, Cooper explores a wide range of topics and periods, from Hippocratic medical theory to Aristotle's physics and metaphysics, and the moral psychology and ethical theory of the ancient Stoics.

Many of these pieces appear here for the first time or are presented in newly expanded versions, while others represent classics of philosophical scholarship on antiquity that continue to play a prominent role in current teaching and research. Cooper's approach is distinctive in its use of philosophical terms drawn from the ancient philosophical tradition itself, rather than contemporary philosophy.

This book will be treasured by philosophers, classicists, students of philosophy and classics, and anyone interested in understanding philosophy in philosophical terms. The essays aim to make ancient philosophical perspectives freshly available to contemporary scholars and students, showcasing their fascinating inventiveness and originality.
