Description
This is a concise and easy-to-read an account of the ethical philosophy of the Greeks, from the Sophists to the Stoics. With particular emphasis on Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, the book traces the themes of law and nature, virtue, knowledge and happiness, and love and friendship. It provides a comprehensive account of the meanings the Greeks attached to expressions such as "justice", "voluntary action", "virtue", and "good". First published in 1967, this book offers an introductory study for the general reader.
