Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy Supplementary Volume 1988 [Hardcover]

This special supplementary volume contains the proceedings of the Colloquium on Ancient Philosophy held at Oberlin College in 1986. The contributors--including Michael Frede, Jonathan Barnes, Martha C. Nussbaum, Robert G. Turnbull, Gail Fine, Alan Code, T.H. Irwin, A.A. Long, and David Charles--address being, becoming, and intelligibility in Plato; disunity in the Aristotelian virtues; Epicurean signs; and Aristotle on political distribution.

The essays and thoughtful replies and responses contained in this volume deal with substantial issues in Ancient Greek philosophy. Moreover, the careful reasoning exhibited in the arguments of all of the contributors makes this volume worthwhile as an example of philosophical argumentation at its best. --Review of Metaphysics
