Federico M. Petrucci, Taurus of Beirut. The Other Side of Middle Platonism, (Issues in Ancient Philosophy), Routledge, London &#38; New York 2018This volume is the first monograph devoted to the philosophy of Taurus of Beirut, and provides a long-awaited analysis of his texts and their first English translation. Through close examination of the extant witnesses, Petrucci gives a new account of Middle Platonism based on a fresh approach to the theological and cosmological view of Taurus. In this way, the book contributes substantially to the debate on Post-Hellenistic Platonism from the point of view of both exegetical methods and philosophical doctrines, and offers a starting point for a new understanding of many aspects of ancient thought.https://www.routledge.com/Taurus-of-Beirut-The-Other-Side-of-Middle-Platonism/Petrucci/p/book/9781138186743
