"In antiquity living beings are inextricably linked to the cosmos as a whole. Ancient biology and cosmology depend upon one another and therefore a complete understanding of one requires a full account of the other. This volume addresses many philosophical issues that arise from this double relation. Does the cosmos have a soul of its own? Why? Is either of these two disciplines more basic than the other, or are they at the same explanatory level? What is the relationship between living things and the cosmos as a whole? If the cosmos is an animate intelligent being, what is the nature of its thoughts and actions? How do these relate to our own thoughts and actions? Do they pose a threat to our autonomy as subjects and agents? And what is the place of zoogony in cosmogony? A distinguished international team of contributors provides original essays discussing these questions"--

Ricardo Salles presents eighteen original essays byleading figures in ancient philosophy on three key themes in the work of Richard Sorabji, paying tribute to his remarkable achievements and leading, his ideas in fresh directions. The papers dealing with Metaphysics range from Democritus to Numenius on basic questions about the structure and nature of reality : necessitation, properties, and time. The section on soul includes one paper on the individuation of souls in Plato and five papers on Aristotle's and Aristotelian theories of cognition, with a special emphasis on perception. The section devoted to ethics concentrates upon Stoicism and the complex views the Stoics held on such topics as motivation, akrasia, oikeiosis, and the emotions. The volume also contains a fascinating "intellectual autobiography" by Sorabji himself, and a full bibliography of his works.
