SPACE IN HELLENISTIC PHILOSOPHY KARTONIERT (TB)

Historically speaking  the majority of efforts in the study of ancient Greek physics have
traditionally been devoted either to the analysis of the surviving evidence concerning
Presocratic philosophers or to the systematic examination of the Platonic and the Aristotelian
oeuvre. The aim of this volume is to discuss the notion of space by focusing on the most
representative exponents of the Hellenistic schools and to explore the role played by spatial
concepts in both coeval and later authors who  without specifically thematising these concepts
made use of them in a theoretically original way. To this purpose  renowned scholars
investigate the philosophical and historical significance of the different conceptions of space
endorsed by various thinkers ranging from the end of the Classical period to the middle
Imperial age. Thus  the volume brings to light the problematical character of the ancient
reflection on this topic.
