6.2 Ancient Greek and Roman philosophy:

(Studies): Detailed histories on the whole course of Greek and Roman philosophy can be found in EDUARD ZELLER, Die Philosophie der Griechen, 3 vol. in 2 (1844-52), also available in the following translations from parts of various editions: A History of Greek Philosophy from the Earliest Period to the Time of Socrates, trans. by SARAH F. ALLEYNE (1881), Socrates and the Socratic Schools, trans. by OSWALD REICHEL, 3rd rev. ed. (1885), Plato and the Older Academy, trans. by SARAH F. ALLEYNE and ALFRED GOODWIN, new ed. (1888), Aristotle and the Earlier Peripatetics, trans. by B.F.C. COSTELLOE and J.H. MUIRHEAD (1897), and A History of Eclecticism in Greek Philosophy, trans. by SARAH F. ALLEYNE (1883). Equally thorough and up to date is the great work by W.K.C. GUTHRIE, A History of Greek Philosophy, 6 vol. (1962-81). For short introductions to Greek philosophy in English, see MARGARET E.J. TAYLOR, Greek Philosophy (1921, reissued 1945); REX WARNER, The Greek Philosophers (1958); and the excellent one by W.K.C. GUTHRIE, The Greek Philosophers: From Thales to Aristotle (1950, reissued 1975). (Collections of fragments and works): An influential source from perhaps the 3rd century AD is LAERTIUS DIOGENES, Lives of Eminent Philosophers, trans. from the Greek by R.D. HICKS, 2 vol. (1925, reprinted 1979-80). The best comprehensive collection of the fragments of the pre-Socratic philosophers is still HERMANN DIELS and WALTHER KRANZ, Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker, 11th ed. edited by WALTHER KRANZ, 3 vol. (1951-52, reprinted 1972-73), made more readily accessible for English-speaking readers by KATHLEEN FREEMAN, Ancilla to the Pre-Socratic Philosophers: A Complete Translation of the Fragments . . .

DE VOGEL, Greek Philosophy: A Collection of Texts Selected and Supplied with Some Notes and Explanations, 3rd ed., 3 vol. (1963-67). (Bibliographies): The most detailed bibliography to 1925 is in FRIEDRICH UEBERWEG, Grundriss der Geschichte der Philosophie, vol. 1, Die Philosophie des Altertums, ed. by KARL PRAECHTER, 13th ed. (1953); the most complete bibliography from 1926 to 1963 is WILHELM TOTOK, Handbuch der Geschichte der Philosophie, vol. 1, Altertum (1964), 353 pages of bibliography, including ancient Indian philosophy.

FERNAND VAN STEENBERGHEN, La Philosophie au XIII^e siècle (1966), gives a different interpretation of 13th-century philosophy from that of Gilson, and his Aristotle in the West, 2nd ed.
