Features: Our publishing house has always been committed to publishing domestic books. In the field of the history of philosophy, thanks to the strong support of generations of experts and scholars, we have published many important works that have attracted worldwide attention, which are treasures of precious academic value and rich intellectual wealth. To make them more systematic and comprehensive, facilitating the study and reference of both new and old scholars, and enriching cultural heritage, we have compiled these books into the "Library of Historians of Philosophy." Philosophy is "the living soul of civilization." We hope that the "Library of Historians of Philosophy" can contribute, however modestly, to the prosperity of philosophy and the progress of civilization. We also hope that this series will continue to add new outstanding works. Ancient Greek philosophy has abundant historical materials and extensive volumes, so the history of ancient Greek philosophy is often multi-volume, with the first volume being "Pre-Socratic." This book follows the convention of dividing philosophy into periods before and after Socrates. After Socrates, the main figures are Plato and Aristotle, followed by "Post-Aristotelian" philosophy. The purpose of this book is not to provide a comprehensive introduction to knowledge, but rather to analyze and research the main philosophical issues of major philosophers and present the author's own perspectives. Therefore, it is not a "history" but rather a "study." There are many difficulties in studying ancient philosophy, and the author's level in philosophy, history, and foreign languages is extremely limited.
