About this book
The Stoics, Epicureans and Sceptics is translated from the German of Dr E. Zeller. The preface says the translation aims at supplying an introductory volume to a later period of the history of mind in Greece, which may be collectively described as the post-Aristotelian. The text says that after the middle of the second century a gradual change may be observed, and that Greece had become a Roman province. The text says that to the practical sense of a Roman no philosophical system commended itself which did not make for practical results by the shortest possible route.
The text asks whether even the Stoics, notwithstanding the grossness of their theory of knowledge, ever abated their demand for a knowledge of conceptions, or ceased to subordinate the senses to reason. The text says the Epicureans did not feel themselves driven to give up the pre-eminence which they claimed for goods of the soul over those of the body.
