Providing the only full-length study of the compendium of Greek philosophy attributed to Arius Didymus, court philosopher to the Roman emperor Caesar Augustus, this volume elucidates Stoic and Peripatetic ethics for classicists and philosophers.

This text focusses on the central issue of how Aristotle conceived of emotional response. Among other matters, it considers laughter, emotion in relation to belief and appearance, the effect of emotion on judgement, and the involvement of pain and pleasure in emotional response.

This volume features a unique epitome of Aristotelian practical philosophy. It is often attributed to Arius Didymus who composed a survey of Peripatetic on three areas: ethics, household management, and politics. The quality of the epitome, which draws not only on the surviving treatises of Aristotle, but also later Peripatetics, is excellent.

This volume focuses on Eudemus of Rhodes and his life after the death of Aristotle. Eudemus's contributions to logic were significant: he took issue with Aristotle concerning the status of the existential "is" and made contributions to hypothetical syllogistic and modal logic.

Theophrastus of Eresus was Aristotle's pupil and successor as head of the Peripatetic School
