Index

Spanning 1200 years of intellectual history – from the 6th century BCE emergence of philosophical inquiry in the Greek city-state of Miletus to the 6th century CE closure of the Academy in Athens in 529 – Philosophy of Mind in Antiquity provides an outstanding survey of philosophy of mind of the period. It covers a crucial era for the history of philosophy of mind, examining the enduring and controversial arguments of Plato and Aristotle, in addition to the contribution of the Stoics and other key figures.
Following an introduction by John Sisko, fifteen specially commissioned chapters by an international team of contributors discuss key topics, thinkers, and debates, including:
the Presocratics,
Plato,
cognition,
Aristotle,
intellect,
natural science,
time,
mind, perception, and body,
the Stoics,
Galen, and
Plotinus.
Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy of mind, ancient philosophy, and the history of philosophy, Philosophy of Mind in Antiquity is also a valuable resource for those in related disciplines such as Classics.
