This is a collection of the late Heda Segvic's papers in ancient
moral philosophy. At the time of her death at age forty-five in
2003, Segvic had already established herself as an important figure
in ancient philosophy, making bold new arguments about the nature
of Socratic intellectualism and the intellectual influences that
shaped Aristotle's ideas. Segvic had been working for some time on
a monograph on practical knowledge that would interpret Aristotle's
ethical theory as a response to Protagoras. The essays collected
here are those on which her reputation rests, including some that
were intended to form the backbone of her projected monograph. The
papers range from a literary study of Homer's influence on Plato's
Protagoras to analytic studies of Aristotle's metaphysics and his
ideas about deliberation. Most of the papers reflect directly or
indirectly Segvic's idea that both Socrates' and Aristotle's
universalism and objectivism in ethics could be traced back to
their opposition to Protagorean relativism. The book represents the
considerable achievements of one of the most talented scholars of
ancient philosophy of her generation.
