The tradition of ancient philosophy is a long, rich, and varied one in which the notes of discussion and argument constantly resound. Here, Julia Annas gives a broad view of these traditions as they take shape in six different themes. From understanding the conflict of reason and emotion within ourselves, to investigating whether there are purposes in nature or not, this book introduces readers to some of the major debates of the Ancients, exploring the developments of various themes in the process. Whether she is asking why we continue to read Plato's Republic or investigating reason, knowledge, and scepticism, Annas continually challenges the reader as she leads the way on an engaging and informative tour of ancient thought. With its broad coverage and its suggestions for further reading, this book is theperfect place for the beginner to develop an appreciation for this fascinating and enduring subject.
