Editorial Reviews
Review
"Adamson gives a solid introduction to this encompassing history, which clearly will help students to acquire a serious first knowledge of this rich and complex history, but also often offers the advanced reader interesting insights." -- Jules Janssens, Tidschrift voor Filosofie
