Topics covered include ethnicity, cultural identity, literary originality, the environment, Roman philosophical figures, epistemology, and ethics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume represents a magnificent treatment of a major period of European intellectual history... [It] provides a comprehensive overview of Roman philosophy, but it does much more than that. It invites a reflection on the broader nature of what Roman philosophy actually is and considers a manifold range of sources, including some more often considered literary, rather than philosophical. The volume makes a cogent argument for Roman philosophy as a distinctive phenomenon and a worthy object of study in its own right, rather than merely a poor derivative of a superior Greek original. * International Philosophical Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface     Myrto Garani, David Konstan, and Gretchen Reydams-Schils     List of Contributors       PART I.
