The Encyclopedia of Classical Philosophy is a reference work on the
philosophy of Greek and Roman antiquity. It includes subjects and
figures from the dawn of philosophy in Ionia in the 6th century BC
to the demise of the Academy in Athens in the 6th century AD.
Scholarly study of the texts and philosophical thought of this
period has been, during the last half of the 20th century,
amazingly productive and has become increasingly sophisticated. The
269 articles in the encyclopedia reflect this development. While
the majority of the articles are devoted to individual figures,
many of the articles are thematic surveys of broad areas such as
epistemology, ethics, and political thought. Some articles focus on
particular concepts that evoked significant philosophical treatment
by the ancients, and have proved central to later thought. Other
articles treat fields that are no longer considered part of
philosophy proper, such as mathematics and science. There are
articles examining areas of intellectual or cultural endeavour,
such as poetry or rhetoric, or genres of philosophical expression,
such as dialogue and diatribe. Still others describe the historical
developments of philosophical schools and traditions. The
encyclopedia includes a chronology and guide to further reading.
