Philosophy In The Hellenistic And Roman Worlds by Peter Adamson
A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps
A compact survey of philosophical activity from the collapse of the classical polis through late antiquity, tracing how Hellenistic schools (Stoics, Epicureans, Skeptics, Cynics) and Roman thinkers adapted Greek thought to new social and political realities. It explains central doctrines in ethics, epistemology, logic and natural philosophy, highlights principal figures and texts, and shows how philosophical practice became oriented toward individual guidance and moral therapy of the soul. The narrative follows developments through Middle Platonism and Neoplatonism, paying attention to interactions with science, religion and emerging Christian thought, and emphasizes both continuity and innovation in this formative period.
