Review Quotes
"This book is a survey of ancient Greek philosophy that begins with Hesiod and ends with 'Neoplatonism after Plotinus' .... Information, delivered in an even and non-patronizing tone throughout, contributes greatly to the book's potential utility as a bridge resource linking new readers with ancient thinkers.... this book is highly recommended as a companion text for any introductory study of ancient Greek philosophy. It is comprehensive, non-contentious, reliable, and friendly." --Ancient Philosophy
