Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Gift inscription from author to R. E. Fantham. Pencil marginalia and underlining to a few pages. A couple of corrections done in ink. ; 304 pages; The philosophers of the Roman world were asking questions whose answers had practical effects on people's lives in antiquity, and which still influence our thinking to this day. In spite of being neglected in the modern era, this important age of philosophical thought is now undergoing a revival of interest. Mark Morford's lively survey makes these recent scholarly developments accessible to a wide audience, examining the writings and ideas of both famous and lesser known figures - from Cato the Censor in 155 BCE to Marcus Aurelius in 180 CE. Based around extensive and fully translated quotations from the philosophical texts of the era, full consideration is given throughout to historical, political and cultural context. ; Signed by Author.

There is another signature, which is in the same ink as the notes, which signature "Isaac F. Smith "1895" appears on a free front endpaper adjacent to No. I.The transcribed notes are identified by page reference and cover all available spaces on free front and end papers, with an additional page laid in, upon which Morice has noted their origin.
