Outlines of the History of Greek Philosophy

“One of the standard surveys of Greek philosophy, this is a work designed to assist the student in grasping the scope and content of Greek philosophic tradition. Admirably complete and succinct, Eduard Zeller’s Outlines covers Pre-Socratic philosophy; the traditions of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle; the Stoics, Epicureans, and Sceptics; and the growth of Neo-Platonism in the period of the Roman Empire. As the distinguished British historian G. P. Gooch writes: “Zeller’s Outlines of the History of Greek Philosophy is still by far the best survey of Greek thought in its organic development and one of the glories of German scholarship.” “- Publisher
