Críticas

"This is a fine introduction to ancient philosophy, consistently clear and carefully argued, interesting and generally attractive to read." -Vasilis Politis, Trinity College, Dublin "I found the volume well-organized and philosophically engaging. It doesn't talk down to the reader, nor attempt to blind him/her with science (or philosophy), so it should be well-suited for the intelligent non-expert." -Raphael Woolf, Harvard University
