This book deals with some Aristotelian philosophers of the Hellenistic Age ranging from
Theophrastus of Eresus to Cratippus of Pergamum. The problem of knowledge the question of time
and the doctrine of the soul are investigated by comparing these Peripatetics' views with
Aristotle's philosophy and above all by setting their doctrines within the broader framework
of post-Aristotelian and Hellenistic philosophies (the Old Academy Epicureanism and
Stoicism).
