This volume consists of essays published by John Glucker between 1987 and 2014 in various books and periodicals, now assembled for the first time. They deal with aspects of the contributions to Western thought of two of its major representatives – indeed, two of the major figures in the whole of European intellectual history – Plato and Cicero. All but one of the book’s chapters are in English, but ancient texts are usually quoted in the original Greek or Latin. Some of these essays deal with the interpretation of sections or parts of Plato and Cicero’s philosophical works, while others study the influence of these writings on the history of ancient and modern thought. Some of the articles are more technical, and will therefore be of interest to scholars and reserachers, while others are directed at ‘laymen’ with a good basic background knowledge of Western thought.
John Glucker studied philosophy, classics and history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and classics at the University of Oxford. From 1964 to 1978, he was a lecturer of classics at the University of Exeter, UK, and from 1978 until his retirement in 2001 he was Professor of Classsical Philology and Philosophy at Tel-Aviv University, Israel. He is the author of Antiochus and the Late Academy (1978), From Sylvester to the Elders of Zion, Introduction to Philology (2011, Hebrew), Classics and Classicists, Selected Essays 1964-2000 (edited by Amos Edlheit, 2020), and numerous articles on classical and philosophical issues, mostly in English, but some in Hebrew, Greek, Latin and German.
