Media Reviews
'The contributions contained in the three parts of the volume each provide a self-contained presentation of the topic they deal with. As a whole, the contributions in the volume provide a coherent overview of the historical development, thematic focuses and subsequent receptions of ancient Greek logic. The authors demonstrate their excellent knowledge of the respective source material and their ability to provide a correct historical and theoretical assessment and classification without speculation.' Werner Stelzner, N.T.M
'… this book as whole is a testament to the fact that scholarship on ancient Greek logic is a live and accomplished branch of the history of philosophy. If, as the late John Woods suggests in the conclusion of his paper … the great works of Greek logic are like the edifices of classical antiquity, whose “beauty and importance” is not diminished by the fact that they are “no longer in service”, then the Companion will serve as an apt guide to these splendid ruins.' Ian J. Campbell, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
