Method in Ancient Philosophy brings together fifteen new, specially
written essays by leading scholars on a broad subject of central
importance. It is characteristic of human beings that they direct
their activities by reasoning. Methods of reasoning, even toward
the same ends, vary. Self-conscious reflection on the methods of
reasoning marks the beginning of philosophy in the West;
examination of how the ancient Greeks reasoned, and how they
thought about methods of reasoning, helps us to see how they came
to hold the views they did, and how we have come to think as we do.
For the views of the ancients have had a considerable influence
upon our own assumptions about the demarcations between different
kinds of enquiry and the sorts of methods that are appropriate for
them. The aims of the volume are thus both exegetical and
philosophical. Most of the essays focus on Socrates, Plato, or
Aristotle, but earlier and later ancient philosophy is brought into
the picture by essays on Eleatic and Epicurean thought.
