This is Ancient Philosophy Biblical exegesis & hermeneutics Conquest of the Useless isA masterful introduction to ancient philosophy. Fitzpatrick knows the contemporary scholarship on these authors, so he can shift from summarizing their thought to scrutinizing individual arguments. Meanwhile the writing remains so accessible that a reader might not notice how much he covers. The prose is precise but relaxed, with details that enrich the texture: the Pythagoreans harmonies, the Stoic Horned Argument, Antisthenes daily walk to Socrates.
