About the Authors
  • How does god think? How, ideally, does a human mind function? Must a gap remain between these two paradigms of rationality? Such questions exercised the greatest ancient philosophers, including those featured in this book: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics and Plotinus. This volume encompasses a series of studies by leading scholars, revisiting key moments of ancient philosophy and highlighting the theme of human and divine rationality in both moral and cognitive psychology. The volume is a tribute to A.A. Long, and reflects multiple themes of his own work.

    • Brings together cutting-edge research in ancient cognitive and moral psychology
    • Contributes to the reconstruction of the legacy of Socrates, enriching the recent flow of scholarship on the Socratic tradition
    • Includes important discussions of Stoicism

    "....nice collection.... recommendable without any doubt.... some papers would be useful for students and beginners because of their general presentations. Others are of interest for specialists and researchers...."
