Georgia Tsouni challenges previous characterizations of Antiochus' philosophical project as eclectic and demonstrates how his reconstruction of the ethics of the Old Academy showcases a meticulous attempt to update the ancient heritage, particularly the views of Aristotle and the Peripatos, in the context of contemporary Stoic-led debates. This results in a hermeneutically intricate and philosophically captivating reading of the ancient tradition. A notable example is Antiochus' grounding of the Old Academic conception of the happy life in natural appropriation (oikeiosis), thereby presenting a naturalistic version of Aristotelian ethics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108412612\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GeorgiaTsouni","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44158261625082,"sku":"9781108412612","price":22.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1680863187912_book.jpg?v=1680895808","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/antiochus-and-peripatetic-ethics-9781108412612","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
