On Revisiting “Epicurus on the Art of Dying”.  aThis collection of original articles draws from a cross section of distinguished scholars of ancient Greek philosophy. It is focussed primarily on the philosophy of Aristotle but comprises as well studies of the philosophy of Socrates, Plato, and Epicurus. Its authors explore a range of complementary topics in value theory, moral psychology, metaphysics, natural philosophy, political theory, and methodology, highlighting the rich and lasting philosophical contributions of the thinkers investigated. Opening with an engaging intellectual autobiography of its honoree, Fred D. Miller, Jr., the volume offers treatments of Socrates as a citizen; Plato’s attitude towards poetry; Socratic self-knowledge; Plato’s conception of law in his Republic; explorations of reason, goodness, and moral conduct in Plato; Platonic metaphysics; Aristotelian causation; Aristotelian metaphysics and normativity; natural philosophy in Aristotle; Aristotelian logic; political theory and approaches to justice in Aristotle’s Politics; methodological reflections on how best to approach Aristotle’s indefensible ideas; and closes with a reconsideration of Epicurus on death and the art of dying. Altogether, the volume reflects the richness of the ongoing community of philosophical scholars dedicated to reconstructing, assessing, and criticizing the principal philosophers of the ancient world, whose epoch-forming explorations of the key elements of human life—considered socially, politically, psychologically, and metaphysically—remain topics of lively investigation today. It will be of interest to philosophers of many stripes, including those with a primary interest in ancient philosophy but extending as well to those with systematic interests in the themes it explores. This volume will be a valuable addition to all libraries serving communities dedicated to researching and studying the origins of Western philosophy. 0aPhilosophy, Ancient.972850 0aPhilosophyxHistory.97049514aAncient Philosophy / Classical Philosophy.97285124aHistory of Philosophy.9704971 aKeyt, David.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9728521 aShields, Christopher.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9728532 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303151145508iPrinted edition:z978303151147908iPrinted edition:z9783031511486 0aPhilosophical Studies Series,x2542-8349 ;v15597285440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-51146-2  aZDB-2-REP  aZDB-2-SXPR  c58255d58255
