This abridged and revised edition of an earlier work explores ancient Greek philosophy to uncover its contribution to our present understanding of knowledge, of belief, and of the relationship between them. The volume focuses on the key question of whether belief ever can be knowledge. Aimed at the nonexpert, the philosophies of Protagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Epicureans, Stoics, and Skeptics are all set out with the aid of illustrative drawings and selected portions from the ancient sources in readable English.
