The book presents in chapter format a selection of the author's essays in ancient philosophy, drawn from forty years of writings on the subject. The central theme is the moral psychology of Plato and Aristotle, with a special focus on pleasure and related concepts. It also contains discussions of Socrates and the Greek atomists (including the Epicureans) showing how Plato's ethics grows out of the thought of Socrates, and showing also that pleasure is a central concept for the atomists. It surveys a range of important topics in the work of some of the greatest ancient philosophers, which remain the subject of lively philosophical debate today.
