Reception

Rereading Ancient Philosophy received a mixed review from Jay R. Elliott in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.[2] The book was also reviewed by the classicist Christopher Rowe in the Journal of the History of Philosophy.[3]

Elliott considered the essays included in the book a "fitting tribute" to McCabe. However, he found them of uneven value, writing that while they were generally rewarding, some suffered "from the pursuit of novelty" and wrongly suggested that "progress in ancient philosophy is currently being impeded by an abundance of widely-accepted but unexamined dogmas".[2]
