This volume investigates specific interpretive problems and conceptual developments within the tradition of ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. The editor, Victor Caston, compiles a series of peer-reviewed articles that apply rigorous analytical methods to primary texts from the classical period. These contributions aim to clarify long-standing debates regarding metaphysical, ethical, and epistemological arguments found in the works of philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics.

This publication is recognized as a standard venue for high-level scholarship in the field of classical philosophy. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is intended for professional philosophers and advanced graduate students.
