This book presents an up-to-date overview of the main new
directions taken by ancient philosophy in the first century BC, a
period in which the dominance exercised in the Hellenistic age by
Stoicism, Epicureanism and Academic Scepticism gave way to a more
diverse and experimental philosophical scene. Its development has
been much less well understood, but here a strong international
team of leading scholars of the subject reconstruct key features of
the changed environment. They examine afresh the evidence for some
of the central Greek thinkers of the period, as well as
illuminating Cicero's engagement with Plato both as translator and
in his own philosophising. The intensity of renewed study of
Aristotle's Categories and Plato's Timaeus is an especially
striking outcome of their discussions. The volume will be
indispensable for scholars and students interested in the history
of Platonism and Aristotelianism.
