This volume brings together contributions from an international conference on the central stages of pre-Socratic reception: from Plato, Aristotle, and authors from the Hellenistic period and the age of the Roman Empire, to the Renaissance and the present day. The studies take a reception-based approach and trace the various functions that references to the pre-Socratics performed in the reception context under examination.
