"This is a work of conspicuous erudition... Although the books is very clearly written, reading it requires concentrated effort, for the material Cooper discusses is both subtle and in a different idiom from contemporary moral thinking. He nevertheless illuminates a variety of issues on which contemporary philosophers focus."
Library Journal "This splendid book is a collection of twenty-three of John Cooper's ... Read morepapers on Greek ethical philosophy... But more important, bringing these papers together has synergistic effects: we see Cooper returning to related issues in different contexts and elaborating the scope and depth of his analyses... [T]hey are one of the handful of permanent contributions to the study of ancient ethics in the past one hundred years."
