It examines how philosophical ideas entered literature, science, and religion, and offers extensive evaluations of previously neglected thinkers. The volume includes a digest of known philosophical works from the period and provides an organized overview of major topics such as late Platonism, Christianity’s encounter with Greek philosophy, and philosophical transitions.","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 II  \nedited by  \nLLOYD P.
