About this book
The earliest philosophers thought deeply about ethical questions, but Aristotle founded ethics as a well-defined discipline. Brad Inwood focuses on the reception of Aristotelian ethical thought in the Hellenistic and Roman worlds and explores the thinker's influence on the philosophers who followed in his footsteps from 300 BCE to 200 CE.

Reviews
Charles Brittain, Cornell University:
Ethics after Aristotle is an important examination of the principal themes of philosophical ethics in the Peripatetic tradition from Theophrastus to Alexander. Inwood's approach brings the collective significance of an often fragmentary - and, until recently, rather inaccessible - set of texts to the fore, both as an independent strand in Hellenistic philosophy deserving of study in its own right and as telling contributions to the central debates of the time.
