Frontmatter -- Acknowledgments -- Contents -- Introduction: Some Remarks on the Historical Meaning of the Hellenistic Peripatos -- Part I: Knowledge -- 1 Sense-Perception and Multiple Explanations: Aristotle, Theophrastus, and Epicurus -- 2 The Scientificity of Sense-Perception in Speusippus, Diogenes of Babylon, and Strato of Lampsacus -- Part II: Time -- 3 Eudemus of Rhodes on Aristotle’s Physics: The Case of Time -- 4 Strato of Lampsacus on Aristotle’s Notion of Time -- Part III: Soul -- 5 The Peripatetic Conception of Sleep: Clearchus of Soli and Strato of Lampsacus -- 6 The Psychology of Cratippus of Pergamum -- 7 Appendix: Asclepiades of Bithynia’s Medical Physics and Its Relationship with Epicurus and Strato of Lampsacus -- Index Locorum -- Index of Ancient Authors -- Index of Modern Authors
Summary: This book deals with some Aristotelian philosophers of the Hellenistic Age, ranging from Theophrastus of Eresus to Cratippus of Pergamum. The problem of knowledge, the question of time, and the doctrine of the soul are investigated by comparing these Peripatetics’ views with Aristotle’s philosophy, and above all by setting their doctrines within the broader framework of post-Aristotelian and Hellenistic philosophies (the Old Academy, Epicureanism, and Stoicism).
