Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Weaving together history and philosophy, this book examines the philosophies of Agatharchides of Cnidus and the Middle Peripatos, a philosophical school which flourished during the third and second centuries BC. While the philosophies of Agatharchides and the Middle Peripatos have been offered scant scholarly attention, they bear significance in their critique of Stoicism and in their development of the atomic theory and physical dualism of the universe. Through meticulous philological investigation of Agatharchides' only surviving work, On the Erythraean Sea, the author argues that Agatharchides and the Middle Peripatos were not merely skeptical but advocated a distinct and innovative philosophy. The book makes a valuable contribution to the study of ancient philosophy and is essential reading for scholars interested in Hellenistic thought, the history of science, and the interaction of philosophy and geography.
