This comprehensive sourcebook makes available in the original Latin and Greek the principal extant texts required for the study of the Stoic, Epicurean and skeptical schools of philosophy. The material is organized by schools, and within each school topics are treated thematically. The volume presents the same texts, with some additional passages, as are translated in Volume 1. A large annotated bibliography is also included.
