Illustrating the centrality of skill within ancient ethics,
including Socrates' search for expertise in virtue, the Republic's
'craft of justice', Aristotle's delineation of the politike techne,
the Stoics' 'art of life' and ancient Chinese ethics, this
collection shows how skill has been an ethical touchstone from the
beginning of philosophical thought. Divided into six sections - on
Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, Mencius and Xunzi, the Mohists and
Zhuangzi, and comparative perspectives - world-leading philosophers
explore the significance of skill according to traditional figures,
as well as lesser-known philosophers such as Carneades and
Antipater, and texts such as the Zhuangzi. In doing so, the
seventeen contributors illustrate how skill, expertise and 'know
how' are essential to and foundational within ancient ethical
thought. As the first collection to foreground skill as central to
ancient Greek, Roman and Chinese ethics, this is an essential
resource for anyone interested in the value of cross-cultural
philosophy today.
