The book examines whether the internal dynamics of this philosophical school allowed for a unity of Peripatetic thought, or a fundamental tension between philosophical creativity and the notions of core teachings and canonisation. The book discusses the major philosophical preoccupations of the Peripatetics, interactions with Hellenistic schools of thought, and the shift in focus among Greek philosophers in a changing political landscape. It is the first book of its kind to provide a survey of this important philosophical tradition.Ancient philosophies.PeripateticsPhilosophy, AncientPeripatetics.Philosophy, Ancient.185185Baltussen Han.616752MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155136203321The peripatetics2295937UNINA
