What is the history of philosophy? Is it history or is it philosophy or is it by some strange alchemy a confluence of the two? This volume presents essays that tackles this question, by drawing on the knowledge of the surviving texts of leading ancient philosophers, from the Presocratics to Augustine, through Plato, Aristotle and Plotinus.
