Reviews
'These essays, highly readable and written by recognized and emerging authorities in the field, draw out the consistency and applicability of ethical questions through more than a millenium of Greek philosophy and literature. The editors skilfully bridge diverse periods and disciplines, and many contributions break new ground for future study. This collection should become a standard reference for future scholarship.' Michael Griffin, University of British Columbia
'... The Reception of Greek Ethics is an inspiring collection of texts spanning beliefs and centuries of philosophy.' Jonas Christensen, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
