Ancient philosophers from an otherwise diverse range of traditions
were connected by their shared use of aporia - translated as
puzzlement rooted in conflicts of reasons - as a core tool in
philosophical enquiry. The essays in this volume provide the first
comprehensive study of aporetic methodology among numerous major
figures and influential schools, including the Presocratics, Plato,
Aristotle, Plutarch, Alexander of Aphrodisias, Academic sceptics,
Pyrrhonian sceptics, Plotinus and Damascius. They explore the
differences and similarities in these philosophers' approaches to
the source, structure, and aim of aporia, their views on its
function and value, and ideas about the proper means of generating
such a state among thinkers who were often otherwise opposed in
their overall philosophical orientation. Discussing issues of
method, dialectic, and knowledge, the volume will appeal to those
interested in ancient philosophy and in philosophical enquiry more
generally.
