Rezensionen

"Mignucci challenges some traditional interpretations of classical thought by exploring them until a position is found which is more fully justified than its predecessors. Having both the evidence and the arguments presented makes it possible to evaluate Mignucci's suggestions as he goes along. While the book seems to be designed for fairly advanced students of ancient thought and modern logic, less advanced students will learn a great deal from investing their effort in it."- Bryn Mawr Classical Review
