PHIL 161: History of Ethics
Fall 2004; Greek Ethics
David O. Brink
SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR GREEK ETHICS
This list is selective in a variety of ways. It is selective,
because my knowledge of the relevant secondary literature is limited.
It is also selective, because it includes only things I think are valuable
(though not necessarily correct). It is selective in another way,
because I have not listed articles within collections (e.g. Kraut's The
Cambridge Companion to Plato) separately; the Syllabus will direct
you to specific articles that can be found in books listed here.
