Synopsis

Michael Frede's essays deal with epistemological issues faced by the Stoics and the Sceptics, and with several branches of learning - medicine and grammar - that were once closely linked to philosophy. Also included are papers on Plato, and on Aristotle's Categories, and an introductory essay in which the author sets forth his own approach to ancient philosophy, and shows how attitudes towards the philosophers of antiquity have changed over the centuries. This collection confirms Professor Frede's reputation as a leading figure in the field of ancient philosophy, and brings his essays, which have not been widely disseminated, to the attention of philosophers generally. Scholars and advanced students in Ancient Philosophy.
