Description

A comprehensive compendium of ancient philosophy, Placita (Tenets) is a valuable resource for understanding the principal doctrines and opinions of philosophers and philosophical schools in response to questions and topics in natural philosophy. Dating from the late first or early second century AD, this ancient text was compiled by Aëtius and later reconstructed from the work of three authors working in the period from the second to the fifth century. The book is organized into five books covering topics such as First Principles, Cosmology, Meteorology, Psychology, and Physiology. This edition offers a fresh translation, ample annotation, and a text fully informed by the latest scholarship, making it an ideal resource for study, personal enlightenment, or displays of erudition.
