5.0 out of 5 stars Nice overview of ancient philosophy
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2015
In this classic five-volume "Philosophical Classics" anthology, Forrest Baird and Walter Kaufmann devote the first volume to the philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome. The volume begins with brief selections from the pre-Socratics: Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, Gorgias, and others. Considerably more space is devoted to Plato and Aristotle. (Close to half the volume is given over to Plato's writings.) Briefer selections from Epicurus, the early Stoics, Epictetus, Leucretius, Marcus Aurelius, Pyrrho, Sextus Empiricus, and Plotinus comprise the last part of the volume.
