The tradition of ancient philosophy is a long, rich and varied one, in which the notes of discussion and argument constantly resound. This book aims to introduce readers to some ancient debates and to get them to engage with the ancient developments of some themes. Getting away from the presentation of ancient philosophy as a succession of Great Thinkers, the book aims to give readers a sense of the freshness and liveliness of ancient philosophy, and of its wide variety of themes and styles.**About the Author:**Julia Annas is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Arizona and author of several books for OUP, including *An Introduction to Platos Republic* and *The Morality of Happiness*.
