Features: Volume II of The Routledge History of Philosophy provides a comprehensive examination of the work of philosophers who wrote in Greek and Latin from the mid-4th century BC to the 5th century AD—i.e., from the death of Plato to the beginning of Christian philosophy. The book dedicates five chapters to Aristotle and the Peripatetics, three chapters to the major schools of the Hellenistic period—the Epicureans, the Stoics, and the Skeptics—two chapters to the arguments of mathematicians and biologists, and one chapter to Neoplatonism and Augustine. It includes a historical timeline, glossary of technical terms, and extensive bibliography. The book offers a comprehensive and highly readable examination and analysis of the methods and achievements of classical philosophers after Porphyry.
