Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy, Volume 61 (Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy, 61)

Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy is a volume of original articles on all aspects of ancient philosophy. The articles may be of substantial length, and include critical notices of major books. OSAP is now published twice yearly, in both hardback and paperback. "'Have you seen the latest OSAP?' is what scholars of ancient philosophy say to each other when they meet in corridors or on coffee breaks. Whether you work on Plato or Aristotle, on Presocratics or sophists, on Stoics, Epicureans, or Sceptics, on Roman philosophers or Greek Neoplatonists, you are liable to find OSAP articles now dominant in the bibliography of much serious published work in your particular subject: not safe to miss." - Malcolm Schofield, Cambridge University "OSAP was founded to provide a place for long pieces on major issues in ancient philosophy. In the years since, it has fulfilled this role with great success, over and over again publishing groundbreaking papers on what seemed to be familiar topics and others surveying new ground to break. It represents brilliantly the vigour-and the increasingly broad scope-of scholarship in ancient philosophy, and shows us all how the subject should flourish." - M.M. McCabe, King's College London Volume LXI contains: an examination of the relation between technē and epistēmē in Plato; a new reading of the final argument for immorality in the Phaedo and its connection to the affinity argument; the account of colour in the Timaeus; a renewed examination of Aristotle's distinction between synonymy and homonymy and its consequences for questions of incommensurability; his conception of geometrical objects; his treatment of continence or enkrateia; and a close examination of Sextus Empiricus' response to dogmatists' charge of self-refutation in the final arguments of Against the Logicians. -- publisher's website
