This book explores a distinctive feature of ancient philosophy: the
close relation between ancient ethics and the study of the natural
world. Human beings are in some sense part of the natural world,
and they live their lives within a larger cosmos, but their actions
are governed by norms whose relation to the natural world is up for
debate. The essays in this volume, written by leading specialists
in ancient philosophy, discuss how these facts about our relation
to the world bear both upon ancient accounts of human goodness and
also upon ancient accounts of the natural world itself. The volume
includes discussion not only of Plato and Aristotle, but also of
earlier and later thinkers, with an essay on the Presocratics and
two essays that discuss later Epicurean, Stoic, and Neoplatonist
philosophers.
