Ancient Philosophy

Anthony Kenny’s “Ancient Philosophy” is the first volume in a four-book series that reveals a fresh perspective on the development of Western philosophy. The intriguing history of philosophy’s origins and extraordinary prosperity in the ancient Mediterranean region is told in this book.

It provides a fascinating overview of several philosophical traditions, ranging from the Pre-Socratics to the Epicureans, and explores the evolution of reason and logic as well as prehistoric conceptions of physics, metaphysics, ethics, and the soul and deity.
