From 2000, OSAP is being published not once but twice yearly, to keep up with the abundance ofgood material submitted; and it is being made available in paperback as well as hardback, in response to demand from scholars wishing to purchase it. This volume, the first of 2000, features contributors from Britain, America, Europe, and Japan contributing pieces on Socrates, Plato, Aristotle,Epicureanism, Pyrrhonism, and the recently discovered papyrus text of Empedocles.
