...important and interesting ideas...
*New Testament Abstracts*
John Sellars offers an engaging and useful new contribution to the
field, likely to appeal to undergraduates, graduate students, and
interested non-experts.
*Jenny Bryan, University of Manchester, Greece & Rome*
Hellenistic Philosophy, written masterfully by John Sellars, is the
definitive guide to this fundamental period of philosophy....much
more than just an introduction to an essential philosophy. I would
recommend this oeuvre to anyone who loves history, has an interest
in philosophy or wants to widen the reach of the therapeutic value
of philosophy.
*Aline Maya Paredes, Metapsychology Online Reviews*
Sellars has written an excellent introduction to Hellenistic
philosophy. I will certainly use it in my teaching, and I recommend
it very strongly to other teachers.
*Peter Aronoff, Bryn Mawr Classical Review*
fascinating ... This important work makes a compelling case for the
value of Hellenistic philosophy and, in particular, for a
reappraisal of the value of Cicero as both a scholiast and a
philosopher in his own right. Sellars concludes by calling for
scholars to begin investigating Indo-Greek philosophy as part of
Hellenistic philosophy, a welcome suggestion ... Highly
recommended.
