Several decades of scholarship have demonstrated that Roman
thinkers developed in new and stimulating directions the systems of
thought they inherited from the Greeks, and that, taken together,
they offer many perspectives that are of philosophical interest in
their own right. The Oxford Handbook of Roman Philosophy explores a
range of such Roman philosophical perspectives through thirty-four
newly commissioned essays. Where Roman philosophy has long been
considered a mere extension of Hellenistic systems of thought, this
volume moves beyond the search for sources and parallels and
situates Roman philosophy in its distinctive cultural context. The
Oxford Handbook of Roman Philosophy emphasizes four features of
Roman philosophy: aspects of translation, social context,
philosophical import, and literary style. The authors adopt an
inclusive approach, treating not just systematic thinkers such as
Cicero and Augustine, but also poets and historians. Topics covered
include ethnicity, cultural identity, literary originality, the
environment, Roman philosophical figures, epistemology, and ethics.
