Synopsis

The ancient philosophies of the Greek and Hellenistic worlds have been a major source of inspiration to all aspects of Western thought. Contemplating with Ancient Philosophers is an interactive study of these philosophies, and a practical guide to contemplating on their deep insights. The book regards ancient philosophies not merely as theories of the past, but as starting points for the reader's own personal exploration.

Fourteen influential ancient philosophies are presented here concisely, together with suggestions for contemplation exercises. This method has been developed in the international group-activity of Deep Philosophy, which is an approach to reflecting on philosophical life-issues from our inner depth.
