The volume examines how philosophical thought entered literature, science, and religion, and reassesses philosophers long neglected in earlier studies. It also includes a complete digest of philosophical works produced during the period, supported by a structured contents outline covering topics from Roman Empire philosophy to encounters between ancient Greek thought and Judaism, Christianity, and Neoplatonism.","THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF  \nPHILOSOPHY IN LATE ANTIQUITY  \nThe Cambridge History of Philosophy in Late Antiquity comprises over forty specially commissioned essays by experts on the philosophy of the period 200–800 ce. Designed as a successor to The Cambridge History of Later Greek and Early Medieval Philosophy (ed. A. H. Armstrong), it takes into account some forty years of scholarship since the publication of that volume. The contributors examine philosophy as it entered literature, science and religion, and offer new and extensive assessments of philosophers who until recently have been mostly ignored. The volume also includes a complete digest of all philosophical works known to have been written during this period. It will be an invaluable resource for all those interested in this rich and still emerging field.  \nlloyd p. gerson is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto. He is the author of numerous books including Ancient Epistemology (Cambridge, 2009), Aristotle and Other Platonists (2005) and Knowing Persons: A Study in Plato (2004), as well as the editor of The Cambridge Companion to Plotinus (1996) .  \nThe Cambridge History of Philosophy in Late Antiquity  \nVolume I  \nedited by  \nLLOYD P.
