Knowledge in Ancient Philosophy

About this book

"Divided chronologically into four volumes, The Philosophy of Knowledge: A History presents the history of one of Western philosophy's greatest challenges: understanding the nature of knowledge. Each volume follows conceptions of knowledge that have been proposed, defended, replaced, and proposed anew. Knowledge in Ancient Philosophy covers roughly 700 years of ancient epistemology, starting with the earliest Greek philosophers and covering all of the main figures and schools up through the Romans. The connections between knowledge, wisdom, and skill are explored, with discussions of the contributions of the Presocratics, Sophists, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Epicureans, Stoics and Skeptics, and concluding with the Neoplatonists and Romans."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
