"Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy provides, twice each year, a collection of the best current work in the field of ancient philosophy. Each volume features original essays that contribute to an understanding of a wide range of themes and problems in all periods of ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, from the beginnings to the threshold of the Middle Ages ... Volume LIII contains: an article on several of Zeno of Elea's paradoxes and the nihilist interpretation of Eudemus of Rhodes; an article on the coherence of Thrasymachus' challenge in Plato's Republic book 1; another on Plato's treatment of perceptual content in the Theaetetus and the Phaedo; an article on why Aristotle thinks that hypotheses are material causes of conclusions, and another on why he denies shame is a virtue; and a book review of a new edition of a work possibly by Apuleius and Middle Platonist political philosophy"--Publisher
