Index
`an excellent volume'
T. K. Johansen, Journal of Hellenic Studies
`admirable volume ... the quality of the contributions to the
collection is high; they constitute a worthy tribute to a
remarkable philosopher and teacher ... thought-provoking claims and
more besides await the reader of this excellent collection.'
Dana R. Miller, International Philosophical Quarterly
`this volume offers 12 papers and a substantive introduction to the
topic by one of the editors. All of the papers are by leading
scholars in the field ... There is no comparable volume currently
available. Consequently, this anthology should be purchased by all
academic libraries supporting graduate programs in philosophy and
classics.'

`This collection of papers by a group of first-rate ancient
philosophers includes some very interesting and new material ...
The quality of the papers is very high, and several of them are
unquestionably important contributions to scholarship ... These
largely excellent essays have much to contribute, I am sure, to our
understanding of Greek thinking about rationality.'
Christopher Gill, Classical Review
`The individual contributions link to the central theme in many
different ways; without exception they take issues of fundamental
importance and discuss them in a way that all future interpreters
will need to take into account.'
Phronesis XLII/2
`The editors have assembled a powerful team to explore the ancient
philosophers' understanding of rationality ... All the essays are
uniformly of high standard and together make a satisfying volume
... It would be a fine tribute to Patzig if this book inspired
other scholars to continue the debate about whether ancient
rationality was the same as ours.'
