Hadota s essays exhibit impressive scholarship and a habit of profound reflection. This is not a book for the casual reader but it is an important publication and should be a required text for every student of philosophy, classics and the history of ideas, and for any serious teacher of these subjects. The Tablet Hadota s work is very engaging, knowledgeable, well written and insightful. I highly recommend this book for both general and professional readers. Richard S. Findler, Phil dept, Slippery Rock University for the History of European Ideas Recommended for upper--division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. H. L.
