The Hellenistic period was a rich and exciting time for philosophy.
It saw the birth of two new schools of thought, Epicureanism and
Stoicism, and important developments in Plato's Academy.
Aristotelians and Cynics were also active during the period, all of
which created a vibrant philosophical landscape. Many of the ideas
now associated with early modern and enlightenment philosophy -
such as empiricism, materialism, and religious scepticism - were
widely discussed by Hellenistic philosophers. In Hellenistic
Philosophy, Sellars offers a thematic introduction to the
philosophy of this era. The author highlights the very practical
outlook common of the time, in which philosophy was seen as a guide
for life, and summarizes the key debates on a series of topics,
ranging from epistemology to political philosophy. The works of
Hellenistic philosophers had a vital influence on later thought,
and especially on the development of early modern philosophy. In
providing an accessible outline of this important era, the book is
of particular use to students and general readers interested in the
period. It is also an invaluable resource for teaching with its
guide to Hellenistic philosophers, chronology, and extensive
cross-references to standard collections of ancient texts.
