Philosophy; Western philosophy: Ancient, to c 500; Western philosophy: c 1600 to c 1900; Philosophy: epistemology & theory of knowledge; Ethics & moral philosophy; Social & political philosophy

Fifteen leading philosophers explore a set of themes from the pioneering work of Gail Fine and Terence Irwin, in ancient philosophy but also in later periods and in systematic philosophy.

The contributors discuss knowledge, rhetoric, freedom and practical reason, virtue and the good life, ethics and politics in Plato and Aristotle and beyond. The editors offer an introduction charting the scholarly contributions of Fine and Irwin and assessing their individual and joint impact, together with a complete bibliography of their writings.
