20043788Academia Verlag. 2004. Hardcover. Near Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Minor knock along back upper board else Fine.; While appearing to be a conventional Festschrift in honour of a reputed Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto this book includes a unique collection of essays by a number of distinguished scholars from an impressive number of countries on current changes in the field of ancient philosophy some might say resistance to change as globalization profoundly affects local culture and the education of new generations seems likely to be transformed in significant ways. The essays have been organized largely in geographical order starting with Professor Robinson's adopted country Canada and ending with the linguistic community and geographical area more strictly linked with what we have become accustomed to call "ancient philosophy": modern Greece. Through our journey which takes us through the Americas the Pacific area Australia Japan China and Europe readers will be pleased to discover how a widening interest in ancient philosophy has recently spread to a remarkable number of "new" countries some of which have traditionally been thought of as on the margins of if not strictly outside the established scholarly community. Although this work is a tribute to a well-known and admired scholar it is also meant to interest the entire scholarly community of ancient primarily Greek philosophy philosophers and classicists alike: readers wanting to inform themselves about the status of ancient philosophy in a changing and multi-faceted world will find here very much to discover.; Studies in Ancient Philosophy 6; 352 pages . 3896652052 .

201139250Oxford University Press. 2011. Softcover. Very Good. Light shelfwear.; Greek and Roman Historiography is a collection of important articles from the last thirty years which treat the ways in which the ancient Greeks and Romans thought about and wrote their histories. Six of these articles have been translated into English for the first time. Avoiding issues such as sources and reliability which were the concern of earlier scholarship the contributors focus much more on how the ancients themselves engaged with their past: the relationship between myth and history; the role of memory and oral tradition as they shaped both Greek and Roman notions of the past; the role of the historian in giving form and meaning to his history; and the different notions of historical truth and falsehood. A specially written introduction places the essays in the larger context of earlier and more recent trends in the study of Greek and Roman historiography.; Oxford Readings In Classical Studies; 21.6 X 14 X 2.6 centimeters; 510 pages . 0199233500 .
