Book excerpt: In this volume of 18 essays, leading philosophers address the varied, volatile and novel encounters between contemporary and antique thought.

Alongside these essays are three original and previously unpublished translations of texts by Gilles Deleuze, Pierre Aubenque and Barbara Cassin.
