This distinctive collection of original articles features
contributions from many of the leading scholars of ancient Greek
philosophy. They explore the concept of reason and the method of
analysis and the central role they play in the philosophies of
Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. They engage with salient themes in
metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political theory, as well as
tracing links between each thinker's ideas on selected topics. The
volume contains analyses of Plato's Socrates, focusing on his views
of moral psychology, the obligation to obey the law, the
foundations of politics, justice and retribution, and Socratic
virtue. On Plato's Republic, the discussions cover the relationship
between politics and philosophy, the primacy of reason over the
soul's non-rational capacities, the analogy of the city and the
soul, and our responsibility for choosing how we live our own
lives. The anthology also probes Plato's analysis of logos (reason
or language) which underlies his philosophy including the theory of
forms. A quartet of reflections explores Aristotelian themes
including the connections between knowledge and belief, the nature
of essence and function, and his theories of virtue and grace. The
volume concludes with an insightful intellectual memoir by David
Keyt which charts the rise of analytic classical scholarship in the
past century and along the way provides entertaining anecdotes
involving major figures in modern academic philosophy. Blending
academic authority with creative flair and demonstrating the
continuing interest of ancient Greek philosophy, this book will be
a valuable addition to the libraries of all those studying and
researching the origins of Western philosophy.
