Publisher's Synopsis

To understand ancient ethics, we must examine the basic structure of ancient ethical theory. This treatise presents the results of a wide-ranging study of ancient ethical philosophy, and makes it accessible to anyone with an interest in ancient or modern ethical studies. Her examination of the basic concepts and arguments of ancient ethics corrects many widespread misconceptions, and shows that ancient ethical theories are theories of morality and its demands.
