Hellenistic philosophy concerns the thought of the Epicureans,
Stoics, and Skeptics, the most influential philosophical groups in
the era between the death of Alexander the Great (323 BCE) and the
defeat of the last Greek stronghold in the ancient world (31 BCE).
The Routledge Handbook of Hellenistic Philosophy provides
accessible yet rigorous introductions to the theories of knowledge,
ethics, and physics belonging to each of the three schools,
explores the fascinating ways in which interschool rivalries shaped
the philosophies of the era, and offers unique insight into the
relevance of Hellenistic views to issues today, such as
environmental ethics, consumerism, and bioethics. Eleven countries
are represented among the Handbook's 35 authors, whose chapters
were written specifically for this volume and are organized
thematically into six sections: The people, history, and methods of
Epicureanism, Stoicism, and Skepticism. Earlier philosophical
influences on Hellenistic thought, such as Aristotle, Socrates, and
Presocratics. The soul, perception, and knowledge. God, fate, and
the primary principles of nature and the universe. Ethics,
political theory, society, and community. Hellenistic philosophy's
relevance to contemporary life. Spanning from the ancient past to
the present, this Handbook aims to show that Hellenistic philosophy
has much to offer all thinking people of the twenty-first century.
