Historically speaking, the majority of efforts in the study of
ancient Greek physics have traditionally been devoted either to the
analysis of the surviving evidence concerning Presocratic
philosophers or to the systematic examination of the Platonic and
the Aristotelian oeuvre. The aim of this volume is to discuss the
notion of space by focusing on the most representative exponents of
the Hellenistic schools and to explore the role played by spatial
concepts in both coeval and later authors who, without specifically
thematising these concepts, made use of them in a theoretically
original way. To this purpose, renowned scholars investigate the
philosophical and historical significance of the different
conceptions of space endorsed by various thinkers ranging from the
end of the Classical period to the middle Imperial age. Thus, the
volume brings to light the problematical character of the ancient
reflection on this topic.
