Can moral philosophy alter our moral beliefs or our emotions? Does
moral scepticism mean making up our own values, or does it leave us
without moral commitments at all? Is it possible to find a basis
for ethics in human nature? These are some of the main questions
explored in this volume, which is devoted to the ethics of the
Hellenistic schools of philosophy. Some of the leading scholars in
the field have here taken a look at the bases of the Stoics' and
Epicureans' thinking about what the Greeks took to be the central
questions of philosophy. Their essays, which originated in a
conference held at Bad Homburg in 1983, the third in a series of
conferences on Hellenistic philosophy, propose important
interpretations of the texts, and pose some fascinating problems
about the different roles of argument and reason in ancient and
modern moral philosophy. This book will be of interest to moral
philosophers and to scholars of Greek philosophy too.
