Product details

This is the standard collection of philosophy in the Hellenistic age, the historical period between Aristotle’s death and the rise of Neoplatonism. The volume represents the major schools of philosophy of this time — Skepticism, Stoicism, and Epicurianism — in a new edition that has been expanded, reorganized, and made more readable.

Pyrrhonism was the main school of Skepticism at the time, and they taught the suspension of judgement (“attraxia”) in the face of the unattainability of certainty or true knowledge, laying the grounds for modern skepticism and Descartes’ reduction (see Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy).

Epicurianism taught that the world is ruled by blind chance (as opposed to balanced by a cosmic justice or some omniscient being like God), and taught the cultivation of a simple life with the avoidance of pain as the primary goal.
