To understand ancient ethics, we must examine the basic structure of ancient ethical theory. This treatise presents the results of a wide-ranging study of ancient ethical philosophy, and makes it accessible to anyone with an interest in ancient or modern ethical studies. Her examination of the basic concepts and arguments of ancient ethics corrects many widespread misconceptions, and shows that ancient ethical theories are theories of morality and its demands.

this is an important book. Many of Annas's claims will provoke scholarly controversy for some time to come; in the meantime, the book will be a tremendous help to those who want to understand the development of ancient ethics as a whole. (Times Higher Educational Supplement)
'A richly nuanced and exceptionally clear historical study... that will redefine current debates about 'virtue-ethics' and its differences from moral theory.
