Explorations in Ancient and Modern Philosophy 2 Volume Hardback Set

'... at the end of so many of the essays collected here, the reader has been brought to deeper insights in a way that is as much literary and historical as it is philosophical. The moral of the story is that, at least in Burnyeat's hands, serious progress cannot be made in any of these areas on its own. Philosophical, literary and historical methods work together in Burnyeat's essays in an exemplary manner. On any of his topics (and they are often quite central to the concerns of any classicist) he sets the bar high and then shows us how the job is to be done. Would that more of us had the capacity to follow his lead.' Brad Inwood, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
