Ancient Philosophy A Contemporary Introduction

Ancient Philosophy A Contemporary Introduction

In Ancient Philosophy (2012) Christopher Shields expanded on the coverage of Socrates Plato and Aristotle in his earlier book Classical Philosophy (2003) to include the philosophy of the Hellenistic era. In this new edition (2023) Shields reaches even further to include material on Neoplatonism and on Augustine and Proclus capturing—from Thales of Miletus to the end of the sixth century CE—all of what might be called ancient philosophy. It traces the important connections between the periods and individuals of more than 1 200 years of philosophy’s history without losing sight of the novelties and dynamics unique to each. The coverage of the Presocratics Sophists Plato and Stoicism has also been expanded so as to highlight Plato’s responses to the Sophistic movement in the development of his Theory of Forms. And finally a valuable companion volume with Shields’s focused translations of the important sources referred to in Ancient Philosophy Second Edition will soon be published obviating the need for a massive anthology of discordant voices. Ancient Philosophy Second Edition retains its helpful structure: each philosophical position receives: (1) a brief introduction (2) a sympathetic review of its principal motivations and primary supporting arguments and (3) a short assessment inviting readers to evaluate its plausibility. The result is a book that brings the ancient arguments to life making the introduction truly contemporary. It continues to serve as both a first stop and a well-visited resource for any student of the subject. Key updates in the second edition Extends the range of coverage well into the sixth century CE by offering a new chapter on Neoplatonism and early Christian philosophy featuring discussions of Proclus and Augustine. Explains the conflicts between Plato and the Sophists by highlighting their approaches to rhetoric as an instrument of persuasion offering a helpful explanation of two senses of argument. Includes new coverage of Plato’s argument from the Simplicity of the Soul Argument from Affinity and Argument against Rhetoric. Includes coverage of Aristotle’s political naturalism . May be used with a soon-to-be-published companion volume of primary source material all of it translated by Christopher Shields specifically for the reader of this Second Edition. | Ancient Philosophy A Contemporary Introduction

Food Provisions for Ancient Rome A Supply Chain Approach

Food Provisions for Ancient Rome A Supply Chain Approach

This book defines the processes used for delivering a range of food items to the city of Rome and its hinterland from the first century AD using modern supply chain modelling techniques. The subject matter delves into the wider supply of goods such as wood and building products to add further perspective to the breadth of the system managed by the Roman administration to ensure supply and political stability. It assesses the impact of strategic changes such as the introduction of water-powered milling technology and restructuring of the annona in this period as well as administrative reforms. Evidence from ancient sources both literary and epigraphic along with relevant archaeological comparative evidence is used to develop a detailed supply model including the mapping of warehouse management systems; port and river traffic co-ordination; quality control mechanisms and administrative structures. Unlike other contemporary studies this model takes into consideration supply chain losses to correct the erroneous assumption that supply is equal to consumption. A product flow map from the source of supply to the consumer details the labour equipment and infrastructure required at each stage painting a graphic picture of just what an achievement it was for the administration to have maintained such a complex system over this long time period. Food Provisions for Ancient Rome provides an in depth exploration of this topic that will be of interest to anyone working on the city of Rome under the empire as well as those interested in imperial administration and logistics. | Food Provisions for Ancient Rome A Supply Chain Approach
