Abstract:
These 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.
