'David Sedley's volume adds to the prestigious series of Cambridge Companions a comprehensive introduction to Greek and Roman philosophy ... The list of contributors leads the reader to expect that the individual contributions will be first-class, and that expectation is not disappointed.' The British Journal for the History of Philosophy, 'The companion … does not only take the reader through the various philosophical schools, ranging from pre-Socratic to late roman philosophy, but also through their wider context, and it thus provides the reader with an account that is both comprehensive and thought-provoking … it certainly illustrates a wide range of fascinating answers. Moreover, it does so in such a lucid and accessible manner, that not only the university student but also the eager pupil would benefit from certain chapters … and his distinguished team of contributors should therefore be recommended on the marvellous way in which they once again facilitated the enlightenment initiated by the Greek and roman philosophers.' JACT, 'One of the strengths of the book is the way in which it manages to convey the big picture while managing to pay considerable attention to detail. … The reader is always treated with respect and never patronised. Through apparently effortless erudition, contributors are able to map out their fields so that the major contours and landmarks can be clearly seen. … A considerable amount of thought has evidently gone into the planning of the book, and it has been worth it. Because it has been designed as a handbook as well as an introduction, the Companion will be of interest and value to those familiar with the areas of Greek and Roman philosophy as well as to those approaching them for the first time. There is a great deal of material here and plenty to stimulate thought and discussion.' www.practical-philosophy.org.uk, 'One of the strengths of the book is the way in which it manages to convey the big picture while managing to pay considerable attention to detail. ...

Regretfully the item was lost somewhere in the shipment process. I also liked the asking price as well. I dialogued with the vendor, about the item not showing up when expected. They got right back to me, and said they'd refund the purchase price (which they did). I was to watch for the item if it got delivered. I'd notify Whattaplace of that. I'd recommend this vendor & would buy from them again.
