Reviews for Reason and Emotion: Essays on Ancient Moral Psychology and Ethical Theory
"This is a work of conspicuous erudition... Although the books is very clearly written, reading it requires concentrated effort, for the material Cooper discusses is both subtle and in a different idiom from contemporary moral thinking. He nevertheless illuminates a variety of issues on which contemporary philosophers focus."
