Despite the central role played by polemics in ancient philosophy, the forms and mechanisms of philosophical polemics are not usually the subject of systematic scholarly attention. The present volume seeks to shed new light on familiar texts by approaching them from this neglected angle. The contributions address questions such as: What is the role of polemic in a philosophical discourse? What were the polemical strategies developed by ancient philosophers? To what extent did polemics contribute to the shaping of important philosophical doctrines or standpoint? 410 0$aJerusalem studies in religion and culture ;$vVOLUME 21. 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 606 $aPolemics 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 615 0$aPolemics. 676 $a180 702 $aWeisser$b Sharon 702 $aThaler$b Naly$f1973- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827560203321 996 $aStrategies of polemics in Greek and Roman Philosophy$91552780 997 $aUNINA
