Students will find a great benefit in the bibliography, which
contains not only references to the dundamentally scholarly works
for a given topic, but also a preliminary discussion on using
standard research tools… the Historical Dictionary of Ancient Greek
Philosophy offers convenient access to a broad range of
considerations that are essential to an historically sensitive
study of ancient philosophy. No doubt it would have been especially
welcomed and extensively utilized by the present reviewer had it
been available when he began studying Greek philosophy in
college.
*Aestimatio: Critical Reviews in the History Of Science*
...a useful resource on the major philosophers, some less
well-known but still significant thinkers, competing schools of
thought, and their approaches and concepts. Following a substantial
introduction to the field and summary of the transmission of
ancient Greek philosophy to later periods, cross-referenced entries
span "abstraction" to "Zoroastrianism." The dictionary includes an
extensive reference list organized by major general works, and
major authors by historical period; a chronology; notes on
Greek-to-English transliteration; and a glossary.
