Reason and Emotion by John M Cooper
Brings together twenty-three essays on ancient moral philosophy. This book gives an account of many issues and texts in ancient moral psychology and ethical theory, providing a way of reflecting on the fields as they developed from Socrates and Plato through Aristotle to Epicurus and the Stoic philosophers Chrysippus and Posidonius, and beyond.
"This is a work of conspicuous erudition.. Although the books is very clearly written, reading it requires concentrated effort, for the material Cooper discusses is both subtle and in a different idiom from contemporary moral thinking. He nevertheless illuminates a variety of issues on which contemporary philosophers focus."--Library Journal "This splendid book is a collection of twenty-three of John Cooper's papers on Greek ethical philosophy... But more important, bringing these papers together has synergistic effects: we see Cooper returning to related issues in different contexts and elaborating the scope and depth of his analyses... [T]hey are one of the handful of permanent contributions to the study of ancient ethics in the past one hundred years."--Chris Bobonich, The Philosophical Review
