Greek philosophy in the new millenium

This book, while appearing as a conventional Festschrift for a renowned Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto, presents a distinctive collection of essays from distinguished scholars across various countries. These essays explore current changes in ancient philosophy, highlighting the resistance to change as globalization impacts local cultures and transforms education for new generations. Organized geographically, the collection starts in Canada and concludes in modern Greece, the heart of ancient philosophy. Readers will journey through the Americas, the Pacific (including Australia, Japan, and China), and Europe, uncovering a growing interest in ancient philosophy in many 'new' countries traditionally seen as marginal to the established scholarly community. Although a tribute to a respected scholar, the work also aims to engage the broader scholarly community of ancient philosophy, including philosophers and classicists. Those seeking to understand the status of ancient philosophy in a dynamic and complex world will find valuable insights and discoveries within these pages.
