Early Greek Ethics is the first volume devoted to philosophical ethics in its "formative" period. It explores contributions from the Presocratics, figures of the early Pythagorean tradition, sophists, and anonymous texts, as well as topics influential to ethical philosophical thought such as Greek medicine, music, friendship, and justice. In summary, everyone who works in early Greek philosophy cannot but welcome this volume. It is a well structured, carefully organized, scholarly, informative, and original work on the early history and philosophy of ethics ... The volume inspires us to reconsider early Greek philosophers not merely as pre-Socratics, pre-Platonists, or even pre-Aristotelians, but as individual thinkers in their own right who contributed in the development, the formation, and the continuation of the Greek philosophical tradition.
