In updating this edition, editor Forrest E. Baird has continued to follow the same criteria established by the late Walter Kaufmann when the Philosophic Classics series was first established: (1) to use complete works or, where more appropriate, complete sections of works (2) in clear translations (3) of texts central to the thinkerâs philosophy or widely accepted as part of the canon. To make the works more accessible to students, most footnotes treating textual matters (variant readings, etc.) have been omitted and important Greek words have been transliterated and put in angle brackets. In addition, each thinker is introduced by a brief essay composed of three sections: (1) biographical (a glimpse of the life), (2) philosophical (a rÃsumà of the philosopherâs thought), and \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePREFACE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBEFORE SOCRATES \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Milesians \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThales \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnaximander \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnaximenes \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree Solitary Figures \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePythagoras \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXenophanes \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeraclitus \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Monists \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParmenides \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZeno of Elea \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pluralists \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmpedocles \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnaxagoras \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemocritus (\u003ci\u003eand Leucippus\u003c\/i\u003e) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree Sophists \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProtagoras \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGorgias \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCritias \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEPILOGUE I: TWO VIEWS OF ATHENS \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThucydides \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePericles’ Funeral Oration \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Melian Conference \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEPILOGUE II: ASPASIA \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSOCRATES AND PLATO \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEuthyphro \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApology \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrito \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhaedo \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGorgias (482e-484c) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeno \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSymposium (172a-173b, 189c–193d; 201d–223d) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepublic (Book I, 336b–349b, 350d–354b; Book II, 357a–362c, 368e–376e; Book III, 386b-388a, 412b–417b; Book IV, 427d–445e; Book V, 449-462e, 469c-474a; Book VI–VII, 502c–521b; Book VIII, 562a–563e; Book IX, 580d-583a) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParmenides (127a–135d) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheaetetus (selections) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimaeus (27d–34b) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaws (selections) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARISTOTLE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories (Chapters 1–5) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Interpretation (Chapters 1–9) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePosterior Analytics (Book I, 1–2; Book II, 19) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhysics (Book II complete) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetaphysics (Book I complete; Book IV, 1-4, 7; Book XII complete) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the Soul (Book II, 1–3; Book III, 4–5) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicomachean Ethics (Book I–II; Book III, 1–5; Book IV, 3; Books VI–VII; Book X, 6–8, 9) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolitics (Book I, 1–2; Book III, 6–9; Book IV, 11–12; Book VII, 3b–4, 9) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoetics (Chapter 6) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHELLENISTIC AND ROMAN PHILOSOPHY \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpicurus \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLetter to Herodotus \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLetter to Menoeceus \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrincipal Doctrines \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLucretius \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the Nature of Things (Book Two, 216–284; Book Three, selections through 831) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Early Stoa \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZeno of Citium (selections from \u003ci\u003eDiogenes Laertius\u003c\/i\u003e) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCleanthes—Hymn to Zeus \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpictetus \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandbook (Enchiridion) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarcus Aurelius \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeditations (Book IV) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePyrrho and Sextus Empiricus \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutlines of Pyrrhonism (Book I, 1–13) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlotinus and Porphyry \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLife of Plotinus (Chapters 1-2) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnneads (I, Tractate 6; V, Tractate 1, 1–12) \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50577814028631,"sku":"9781138235021","price":114.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781138235021.jpg?v=1746096790","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/philosophic-classics-ancient-philosophy-volume-i-9781138235021","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
