Opis

This book reconstructs and evaluates the philosophy of a thinker who was uniquely influential among Romans of the first century BC.

Recenzje

'The book convinces me … that Antiochus belongs to late Hellenistic philosophy rather than to the scholarly world of succeeding generations. While many issues still defy resolution, my final judgment is a highly favourable one. I particularly enjoyed the contribution of the younger scholars, while appreciating the range and depth of experienced researchers.' Harold Tarrant, sehepunkte.de
