The Oxford Handbook of Hellenistic Philosophy offers thirty essays by leading international scholars, framed by a general introduction from the editors.
[...]
Organized around the prominent Epicurean, Stoic, and Academic schools, it offers a topical treatment of their characteristic doctrines and arguments and includes essays on their legacies at the end of the Hellenistic era, as the philosophical center of gravity in the Mediterranean world shifted from Athens to other cities. A final section considers the profound formative influence of each school in the early modern period, as European philosophers engaged closely with ancient Greek and Latin texts recovered in the Renaissance. This volume consolidates the scholarly gains of recent decades, highlights the innovation and creativity of Hellenistic philosophy, provides an overview of the current state of scholarship, and points the way to new avenues of research.
