Product description Review "âthis book is beyond reproachâ" -- Zena Hitz, St. John's College (Annapolis), Polis"This superb book clearly displays Annas' characteristic keen sense of what the important philosophical problems are and her willingness to offer bold, new interpretations. ... It is a major contribution both to the novel main question that it develops and to the standing debates that it touches upon. Anyone interested in ancient ethics or political philosophy will learn a great deal from it." --Chris Bobonich, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews About the Author Julia Annas has taught at the University of Arizona since 1986.
