Description: Edited by one of the most renowned scholars in the field, Voices of Ancient Philosophy is an accessible introduction to the rich, vigorous, and varied traditions of ancient philosophy. Featuring a topical -- as opposed to chronological -- organization, it immediately introduces readers to a wide range of philosophical issues. It develops the ancient debates, drawing on a greater diversity of ancient sources than a chronological approach allows. The volume is divided into six sections: Fate and Freedom; Reason and Emotion; Knowledge, Belief, and Skepticism; Metaphysical Questions; How Should You Live?; and Society and the State. Annas includes numerous philosophers who are ignored by other anthologies, such as Epictetus, the Epicureans, the Stoics, and Sextus Empiricus.
