  • Provides a lively, modern account of the nature and range of ancient Greco-Roman philosophy
  • Focuses on the issues and debates that propelled the tradition, rather than a list of Great Thinkers

The tradition of ancient philosophy is a long, rich and varied one. Julia Annas gives a succinct account of ancient Greco-Roman philosophy, emphasizing its freshness and variety of themes, and its approach of lively discussion and argument. Getting away from the presentation of ancient philosophy as a succession of Great Thinkers, the book gives readers a sense of the freshness and liveliness of ancient philosophy, and of its wide variety of themes and styles.
