GILL, Chr., The Structured Self in Hellenistic and Roman Thought. Oxford University Press, Oxford (...), 2006. XXII,522p. Hard bound. Cloth wrps. Nice copy.Christopher Gill offers a new analysis of what is innovative in Hellenistic - especially Stoic and Epicurean - philosophical thinking about selfhood and personality. His wide-ranging discussion of Stoic and Epicurean ideas is illustrated by a more detailed examination of the Stoic theory of the passions and a new account of the history of this theory. His study also tackles issues about the historical study of selfhood and the relationship between philosophy and literature, especially the presentation of the collapse of character in Plutarch's Lives, Senecan tragedy, and Virgil's Aeneid. (Publisher's information). 'Gill grapples with some of the toughest problems in ancient psychology, and does so with unusual power and authority This careful and historically grounded analysis shows that the ancient philosophical world held a conception of the person very different from our own and thereby how much their largely alien conception can contribute to contemporary debates. This is a book to be welcomed by ancient philosophy specialists and contemporary enquirers alike.' (BRAD INWOOD in Philosophical Quarterly). € 122.00 (Antiquarian)

GILL, Mary Louise, Philosophos. Oxford University Press,Oxford, 2014. X,290p. Paperback. 'In this extraordinary book, Gill illustrates how Plato's promise to compose a dialogue ('Philosophos') to complete the trilogy of dialogues ('Sophist' and 'Statesman') is actually fulfilled within the dialectical exercises contained in the two dialogues, along with the 'Parmenides' and the 'Theaetetus'. (...) Gill incorporates within her impeccable scholarship reference to virtually all the most recent literature on these Platonic dialogues. (...) It is a significant contribution to contemporary Platonic scholarship and has an excellent bibliography and index. Summing up: Essential.' (P.A. STEVELER in Choice). € 26.50 (New)

GILLE, B., Les mécaniciens grecs. La naissance de la technologie. Éditions du Seuil, Paris, 1980. 235p. ills.(line drawings). Paperback. With signature from Prof. Carl Deroux on free endpaper. (Rare). 'Dans sa monumentale ‘Histoire des techniques’, parue au début de 1978 (coll. ‘La Pléïade’), Bertrand Gille annonçait la publication prochaine de ce petit livre sur ‘Les mécaniciens grecs’. Voilà qui est fait, et qui est véritablement le couronnement d’un grand oeuvre. Bernant Gille, aujourd’hui disparu, fut probablement le seul historien de notre époque qui ait su acquérir, et nous transmettre, une vue d’ensemble de l’univers des techniques, passées et présentes.’ (FRANÇOIS SIGAUT in Annales. Histoire, Sciences Sociales, 1982, p.355). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux. € 69.50 (Antiquarian)
