An account of the Presocratics, this work introduces the major Greek philosophical thinkers from the sixth to the middle of the fifth century BC. It explores how we might go about reconstructing their views and understanding the motivation and context for their work as well as highlighting the philosophical interest of their claims.
This 2002 book explores the neglected question of the ancestry of the Epicurean philosophical system by tracing its origins in the fifth and fourth centuries BC. An important contribution is thereby made to the philosophical interpretation of Epicureanism, especially on its ideal of tranquillity and the relation of ethics to physics.
The ancient philosophical school of Epicureanism tried to argue that death is 'nothing to us'. This book examines the arguments they offered and evaluates their success, setting them against modern philosophical accounts of how death can be a harm. It also questions whether a life free from all fear of death is an attractive option.
