This is a wide-ranging anthology that examines, in chronological order, several genres that have been prominent in the history of Western philosophy. The programmatic introduction outlines the diverse range of genres used by philosophers (dialogue, commentary, biography, etc.) and explains how genre-based exegesis can enrich our analysis and interpretation of philosophical texts. The remaining essays examine individual texts from this perspective.

The essays thus cover a broad range of generic categories as vehicles for conveying the abstractions and subtleties of philosophical thinking, from the times of the Greeks to our own times... Though the editors suggest that these essays would be useful for undergraduates and advanced students of philosophy, I am sure they could be profitably used by literature students as well, and also provide helpful directions for promoting interdisciplinary research.
