	Ancient philosophy : Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Online
		Ancient philosophy was principally pagan, and was finally eclipsed by Christianity in the sixth century ad, but it was so comprehensively annexed by its conqueror that it came, through Christianity, to dominate medieval and Renaissance philosophy.
		In this final phase of ancient philosophy, conveniently called ‘imperial’ because it more or less coincides with the era of the Roman empire, the Hellenistic creeds were gradually eclipsed by the revival of doctrinal Platonism, based on the close study of Plato’s texts, out of which it developed a massively elaborate metaphysical scheme.
		For the vast majority of ancient philosophers, however, our knowledge of them depends on secondary reports of their words and ideas in other writers, of whom some are genuinely interested in recording the history of philosophy, but others bent on discrediting the views they attribute to them.

		This was accompanied by a deeper analysis of the subtleties of the language used in Greek philosophy and a greater awareness of ambiguities and their consequences in arguments.
		Plato expert M.M.McCabe says that this focus on understanding the reasoning of the ancients "antedates some of the moments of revolution in modern philosophy."

		Pierre Hadot's approach, which studies the ancient Greek philosophers with an emphasis on the existential choice that lies at the heart of their philosophical life, is generally well respected but also rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
		The idea of philosophy as a lived practice, rather than an academic discipline from which one retires at the end of the work day, is articulated by Hadot through the many examples of ancient philosophy in the western tradition.
		Ancient Philosophy was a way of looking at one's life, and a way of living one's life.

	ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY: The Period of Naturalism
		The philosophy of the early Greeks was dominated by the search for the One Principle, or cause which should explain phenomena.
		Among the Grecian stocks which have contributed greatly to the formation of philosophy is the Ionian strain, which was spread through Asia Minor, the islands of the Aegean Sea (Ionia), and southern Italy and Sicily.
		It is among the Ionian colonies of Asia Minor that the story of philosophy takes its beginning, because it was in the flourishing city of Miletus that the first three Western philosophers were born and lives: Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes.

		For the last period of ancient Greek philosophy, long as it is, useful works are not as numerous as for the other two periods.

	Intentionality in Ancient Philosophy (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Once the investigation is properly framed, it is clear that philosophical interest in intentionality can be traced back to the very origins of ancient philosophy.
		The first attention paid to intentionality in Greek philosophy is arguably in the early 5th century B.C.E., in Parmenides’ poem (later referred to as On Nature), where it is already taken to be problematic.
		Spiegelberg, Herbert, 1976, “‘Intention’ and ‘Intentionality’ in the Scholastics, Brentano and Husserl.” in The Philosophy of Brentano, Linda L. McAlister (ed.), 108-127, London: Duckworth.

	Ancient Roman Philosophy - Crystalinks
		The contents of the philosophy were particularly amenable to the Roman world view, especially since the Stoic insistence on acceptance of all situations, including adverse ones, seemed to reproduce what the Romans considered their crowning achievement: virtus, or "manliness," or "toughness." The centerpiece of Stoic philosophy was the concept of the logos.
		Of all the philosophies of antiquity, this is perhaps the most familiar to you: the skeptic principle of doubting everything became, in the modern era, the fundamental basis of the scientific method.
		Therefore, each human being had a duty (officium) to fulfill in this larger project; the key to performing that duty was acceptance of the role and strength (virtus) in the face of adversity.
