| Abstract
|
:
|
"Ancient Ethics is a clear and thorough introduction to the birth of ethics in ancient Greece and Rome for anyone starting out in ethics." "Here, Susan Suavé Meyer details a history of writing of ethical thought, from its beginnings in the writings of Plato and Aristotle through its development in the Hellenistic period by Epicureans and Stoics, with lucid and accessible explanations of their theories." "Throughout, she critically assesses the arguments on which their thoughts were based, incorporating the responses of their contemporary critics as well as modern day assessments to show the reader how to think and critique philosophically."
