Cause and Explanation in Ancient Greek Thought

"Very often, the reader is left wanting more from Hankinson; and being left wanting is only sometimes a good thing. Its goodness in this book derives from the fact that Hankinson's observations are regularly intriguing, at times refreshingly trenchant, and in some cases straightforwardly arresting. In these cases, deeper development of themes introduced would be most welcome.That said, the history itself is excellent: clear, intelligently conceived and executed, and broadly accessible. Those in search of a philosophically astute history of classical philosophy given in terms of one of its own central unifying obsessions will delight in reading R. J. Hankinson's work."Hankinson, R. J. is the author of 'Cause and Explanation in Ancient Greek Thought' with ISBN 9780199246564 and ISBN 0199246564.
