Three colloquia deal with Platonic texts. The first examines the myth of Atlantis in the \u003ci\u003eTimaeus and Critias\u003c\/i\u003e, the second focuses on self and knowledge in the \u003ci\u003eRepublic\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/i\u003e, while the third explores the rhetoric of the \u003ci\u003ePhaedrus\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003eAristotle is also treated in three colloquia. Two of these colloquia tease out different aspects of the \u003ci\u003eDe Anima\u003c\/i\u003e; the analogy between sensing and knowing, and the implications of Aristotle’s account of perception for modern philosophy of mind. The third colloquium on Aristotle discusses recent interpretations of \u003ci\u003eMetaphysics\u003c\/i\u003e Zeta. \u003cbr\u003eThe remaining two colloquia treat of Seneca’s \u003ci\u003eNatural Questions\u003c\/i\u003e and of the pre-history of Pyrrhonic skepticism. The first deals with Seneca’s partially successful attempt to write a literary masterpiece. The second discusses the philosophical milieu of Pyrrho and his early form of skepticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis publication has also been published in paperback, please \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/brill.com\/view\/title\/6859\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eclick here\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for details.","brand":"John J.
