The "Introduction" to philosophy written by Porphyry at the end of the second century AD is the most successful work. Porphyry's aim was modest, but he gave highly influential treatments of a number of perennial philosophical questions. This title presents an English translation, preceded by an introduction and followed by a commentary.
