The book offers a critical reexamination of ancient Greek philosophy, challenging the notion that figures like Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, and Plotinus hold anti-environmental views. It presents original essays that explore their perspectives on nature and ecology, arguing that despite their historical context, these philosophers can provide valuable insights for contemporary environmental ethics. The contributors suggest that the foundational ideas of these thinkers can be adapted to address modern environmental challenges effectively.

In The Other Olympians Thomas M. Robinson has dramatized the putative meeting of a series of notable philosophers, poets, dramatists, politicians, historians, and others at various Olympic Games held between the years 476 and 348 BCE. At these gatherings, held over three consecutive evenings, those imagined to be present leave the physical Games behind for a while, and engage in their own Olympics of the Mind. To date the plays have been performed in a number of universities around the world (in China, Spain, the USA, Greece, Italy, Germany, Romania, Venezuela, Russia, and Brazil); two have been performed for private audiences in Canada; and three have been published (in Chinese) by Peking University Press.

This volume presents a selection of papers from the Fifth Symposium Platonicum held in Toronto, featuring an Index Locorum, a Subject Index, and a consolidated Bibliography. The discussions center on three dialogues, attracting contributions from global scholars, including those who have recently edited or translated these works. Notable papers include Rosamond Kent Sprague's exploration of the Euthydemus, Louis-André Dorion's examination of Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, Michel Narcy's inquiry into Socrates in Lysis, and Michael Bordt's analysis of the unity in Plato's Lysis. Other prominent contributors include Charles H. Kahn, Christopher Gill, Christopher Rowe, Matthias Baltes, Thomas Alexander Szlezák, and the duo Thomas C. Brickhouse and Nicholas D. Smith. Given the growing interest in these lesser-read dialogues, this volume provides a timely examination from diverse philological and philosophical perspectives, showcasing various interpretative traditions.
