Hellenistic Philosophy
John Sellars (Lecturer in Philosophy, Lecturer in Philosophy, Royal Holloway, University of London)
The Hellenistic period was a rich and exciting time for philosophy. It saw the birth of two new schools of thought, Epicureanism and Stoicism, and important developments in Plato’s Academy. Aristotelians and Cynics were also active during the period, all of which created a vibrant philosophical landscape. In Hellenistic Philosophy, Sellars offers a thematic introduction to the philosophy of this era. The author summarizes the key debates on a series of topics, ranging from epistemology to political philosophy. In providing an accessible outline of this important era, the book is of particular use to students and general readers interested in the period. With its guide to Hellenistic philosophers, chronology, and extensive cross-references to standard collections of ancient texts, it is also an useful resource for teaching.
