Produktbeschreibung

From Aristotle to Cicero: Essays in Ancient Philosophy draws together a selection of Gisela Striker's essays from the last forty years in the areas of research for which she is best known. The first two essays are translated from German: they address specific questions in Aristotle's logic and also complement her commentary on Prior Analytics I. Following on from these, there are three papers on Aristotle's ethics and moral psychology, and the second part of the volume presents five recent studies on Hellenistic epistemology and ethics. Three of the essays have not been published previously.
