About this audiobook
The tradition of ancient philosophy is a long, rich, and varied one, in which a constant note is that of discussion and argument. This book introduces listeners to some ancient debates 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 gives listeners a sense of the freshness and liveliness of ancient philosophy, and of its wide variety of themes and styles.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Muy buena introducción corta a la filosofía de la antigüedad greco-latina. Julia Annas ofrece de manera sencilla un acercamiento que resulta comprensible, sin por ello dejar de lado las complejidades del pensamiento griego -hace énfasis en cuán diferente consideraban los griegos ciertos conceptos a como lo hacemos hoy-.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Not a good introduction. Too fast, and unlike other parts of the "A Very Short Introduction" series this was not written for a general audience. Neither is it suitable for students of Ancient European history. Whom exactly this was written for I cannot fathom. Given the many references to other philosophers, perhaps philosophy students were the intended audience.
