Ancient Greek and Roman philosophy is often characterised in terms
of competitive individuals debating orally with one another in
public arenas. But it also developed over its long history a sense
in which philosophers might acknowledge some other particular
philosopher or group of philosophers as an authority and offer to
that authority explicit intellectual allegiance. This is most
obvious in the development after the classical period of the
philosophical 'schools' with agreed founders and, most importantly,
canonical founding texts. There also developed a tradition of
commentary, interpretation, and discussion of texts which itself
became a mode of philosophical debate. As time went on, the weight
of a growing tradition of reading and appealing to a certain corpus
of foundational texts began to shape how later antiquity viewed its
philosophical past and also how philosophical debate and inquiry
was conducted. In this book leading scholars explore aspects of
these important developments.
