Introduction: The Old Academy to Cicero
2018
The first and fourth chapters in this section represent a period before the rise
of the Hellenistic philosophies, when Plato’s heritage was still alive and well,
and a time when Plato was once again becoming a central figure in philosophic
thinking. In between we have essays on the reception of Plato by the Stoics and
by the Academic Sceptics, who may still have been preserving glimmers of the
school’s Platonic heritage, but whose arguments and influence are intimately
bound up with their need to counter their Hellenistic, and principally Stoic,
opponents.
