Opis

This is the first book-length study of Philo of Larissa (159-84 BC), leader of the Platonic Academy in its final period as an Athenian institution, and also the principal philosophical teacher of Cicero. The appendix contains full testimonia and "fragments" of Philo.

Recenzje

A work of much greater scope and appeal than one might have thought: an outstanding study of an individual philosopher, but also one of the best guides currently available to the range of epistemological thought within the Academy.
