Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring The tradition
of ancient philosophy is a long, rich and varied one. Julia Annas
gives a succinct account of ancient Greco-Roman philosophy,
emphasizing its freshness and variety of themes, and its approach
of lively discussion and argument. Getting away from the
presentation of ancient philosophy as a succession of Great
Thinkers, the book gives readers a sense of the freshness and
liveliness of ancient philosophy, and of its wide variety of themes
and styles. This new edition has been fully updated to reflect
updates in the field, with new illustrations and up to date further
reading to allow further exploration of the field. The text has
been expanded and modernized to be more comprehensive and
accessible to the general reader, as well as exploring the relation
of the tradition of ancient Greco-Roman philosophy to other
traditions and to us. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds
of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books
are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our
expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and
