The ancient Greeks were not only the founders of western philosophy, but the actual term "philosophy" is Greek in origin, most likely dating back to the late sixth century BC. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Euclid, and Thales are but a few of the better-known philosophers of ancient Greece. During the amazingly fertile period running from roughly the middle of the first millennium BC to the middle of the first millennium AD, the world saw the rise of science, numerous schools of thought, and―many believe―the birth of modern civilization. The Historical Dictionary of Ancient Greek Philosophy presents the history of Greek philosophy and the philosophers who made it famous. This is accomplished through a chronology, an introduction, a glossary, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important philosophers, concepts, issues, and events.

This volume has been prepared for the use of students in, and teachers of, ancient Greek Philosophy. These notes are a peculiar hybrid of two sorts of materials: a) information about Greek words, bibliography and cross-references; and b) lecture notes, i.e. mnemonic devices used to ensure that major themes and key concepts are covered in class. In a few cases, the notes include a translation of a passage that is essential to the course. The notes cover Pre-Socratic philosophy, and all the major works of Plato and Aristotle, with a special emphasis on the Ethics and politics of the latter.
