Description

Soon after its publication, Readings in Ancient Greek Philosophy was hailed as the favorite to become “the ‘standard’ text for survey courses in ancient philosophy.”* More than twenty years later that prediction has been borne out: Readings in Ancient Greek Philosophy still stands as the leading anthology of its kind. It is now stronger than ever: The Fifth Edition of Readings in Ancient Greek Philosophy features a completely revised Aristotle unit, with new translations, as well as a newly revised glossary. The Plato unit offers new translations of the Meno and Republic. In the latter, indirect dialogue is cast into direct dialogue for greater readability. The Presocratics unit has been re-edited and streamlined, and the pages of every unit have been completely reset.* APA Newsletter for Teaching Philosophy

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I was nervous buying from this seller because of their only other review. When I contacted them they were very quick to respond and so nice!!! They answered all of my questions with satisfaction so I decided to go ahead and buy. I am in love with this book and it is exactly as described. Shipping time was faster than I expected and i am 100% happy with my purchase. I don’t think I could be happier! Thank you so much!!! I don’t know what the other reviews issues were about but I had a completely different experience! I will buy from this seller again!

⭐Timely delivery and in good condition.

⭐Overall this is very good– except for one glaring omission: How does one claim to compile the best of Ancient Greek Philosophy and omit book 8 of the Nicomachean Ethics, the chapter on friendship?? Completely left out! Anyone who has taught Aristotle knows that this is one of students’ favorite chapters. Absolutely baffling. It is for this reason that I will not be assigning this text to students.

⭐I wish the font were a bit larger but other than that an excellent source.

⭐Had to buy this for school. Kind of lame but I gave it 5 stars bc it does its job and has all of the readings for a fair price

⭐Many of the translations of primary documents in ancient philosophy are very good quality. Furthermore it includes a very comprehensive record of the works of the most important ancient philosophers. I really enjoy the logical organization of various excerpts by topic.

⭐Despite what the description may lead to believe, there are no page numbers on the kindle edition. At least not for the PC version of kindle. It just says “location” at the bottom of the page. Not very helpful for a real class.

⭐Vai ajudar demais nas pesquisas de doutorado da minha esposa. Ela ficou encantada com o conteúdo.
