Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Purpose Of This Book Is To Trace The Main Developments In Greek Philosophy During The Period Which Runs From The Death Of Alexander The Great In 323 B.C. To The End Of The Roman Republic (31 B.C.). These Three Centuries, Known To Us As The Hellenistic Age, Witnessed A Vast Expansion Of Greek Civilization Eastwards, Following Alexander'S Conquests; And Later, Greek Civilization Penetrated Deeply Into The Western Mediterranean World Assisted By The Political Conquerors Of Greece, The Romans. But Philosophy Throughout This Time Remained A Predominantly Greek Activity. The Most Influential Thinkers In The Hellenistic World Were Stoics, Epicureans And Sceptics. This Book Gives A Concise Critical Analysis Of Their Ideas And Their Methods Of Thought. The Last Book In English To Cover This Ground Was Written Sixty Years Ago. In The Interval The Subject Has Moved On, Quite Rapidly Since The Last War, But Most Of The Best Work Is Highly Specialized. There Is A Clear Need For A General Appraisal Of Hellenistic Philosophy Which Can Provide Those Who Are Not Specialists With An Uptodate Account Of The Subject. Hellenistic Philosophy Is Often Regarded As A Dull Product Of Secondrate Thinkers Who Are Unable To Stand Comparison With Plato And Aristotle. This Book Will Help To Remove Such Misconceptions And Arouse Wider Interest In A Field Which Is Fascinating Both Historically And Conceptually.
