This volume brings to completion Professor Guthrie's six-volume History of Greek Philosophy in which he surveys the whole field of Greek philosophy from the Presocratics to Aristotle.



All volumes of Professor Guthrie's great history of Greek philosophy have won their due acclaim. The most striking merits of Guthrie's work are his mastery of a tremendous range of ancient literature and modern scholarship, his fairness and balance of judgement and the lucidity and precision of his English prose. He has achieved clarity and comprehensiveness.
