Spanning a vast expanse of texts, figures, and traditions from the ancient Mediterranean world, this comprehensive volume brings together far-reaching, interdisciplinary papers on Greek philosophy from an international group of scholars. The book's 16 chapters explore a diverse range of topics and themes, ranging from the origins of philosophy in its earliest stirrings in archaic Greek and Egyptian, Persian, Mesopotamian, and Indian sources, to central concepts in ancient Greek philosophy and the literature of the classical period, and even into the Hellenistic age.

Studies in Ancient Greek Philosophy offers both in-depth, rigorous, attentive investigations of canonical texts in Western philosophy, such as Plato's Phaedo, Gorgias, Republic, Phaedrus, Protagoras, and the Metaphysics, De Caelo, Nichomachean Ethics, Generation and Corruption of Aristotle's corpus, as well as inquiries that delve into the rich archives of the Mediterranean Basin and extend into the traditions of classical philosophy beyond the ancient world.

This volume is of interest to students and scholars engaged in various aspects of ancient Greek philosophy, as well as ancient philosophy more broadly.
