Greek and Roman Philosophy After Aristotle (Readings in the History of Philosophy) - Softcover

Lucretius, Epicurus, Epictetus, Stocism, Sextus Empiricus, Lucian and Philo of Alexandria were among the greatest philosophers of the Hellenistic Age. In carefully chosen selections of their writings, eminent scholar Jason Saunders offers readers a provocative sampling of the major surviving works, showing the enormous influence of Greek philosophy on the formative years of Christianity as well as the early Christian's distrust and eventual intergration of these important ideas.

Jason L. Saunders has held positions in philosophy at the University of California, San Diego and City College of New York. Among other books he has written THE HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF RENAISSANCE STOICISM and GREEK AND LATIN PHILOSOPHY OF ARTISTOTLE.
