"he reflects in depth on the salient concerns he brings up in the main body of the text and offers questions for further consideration ... Recommended." - A. L. Lack, CHOICE

"This methodology results in a book which has immense value as a learning tool - as a manual or a textbook. This observation should not be taken as a back-handed compliment. Philosophy, and very specially Ancient Philosophy, is in dire need to reach out of its own boundaries, and Kristjánsson does that brilliantly." - Pilar Lopez-Cantero, Department of Philosophy, Tilburg University, Tilburg, The Netherlands, Journal of Moral Philosophy
