Nice overview of the essential writings of Greek and Roman philosophers

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2017

The first volume of the history of philosophy series by Forrest Baird and Walter Kaufmann covers ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. The volume begins with brief selections from Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, Gorgias, and others. There follows a far more extensive selection of writings from Plato and Aristotle. These in turn are followed by briefer selections from Epicurus, the early Stoics, Epictetus, Leucretius, Marcus Aurelius, Pyrrho, Sextus Empiricus, and Plotinus. The editors provide the reader with brief but useful introductions to these philosophers.
