A Cultural History of Ideas in Classical Antiquity

PRAISE FOR A CULTURAL HISTORY OF IDEAS: VOLUMES 1-6
A 2024 CHOICE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE
2023 AAP PROSE AWARDS WINNER: BEST HUMANITIES REFERENCE WORK

The essays in this volume of the award-winning A Cultural History of Ideas explore essential domains of reflection and practice in the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. Ranging from knowledge to nature, the human self to the linguistic and figurative arts, and ethics to politics to religion, the contributors produce an entirely new history of ideas. The distinctive intellectual life of antiquity is not simply shown in the area of theory, nor is it merely seen in context. Instead, this volume reveals how ancient societies generated knowledge and representations in their culture and embodied practice.
