Benson Mates (1919-2009) received his B.A. at the University of Oregon in 1941.His graduate study at Cornell University was interrupted by the Second World War, and he completed his Ph.D. studies at the University of California, Berkeley in 1948.Quoting the obituary written by Barry Stroud and Hans Sluga, Mates "made lasting contributions to philosophy, the history of philosophy, the history of logic, and the understanding of antiquity.His work was of the highest order: clear, precise, illuminating, thoroughly reliable, and always at the highest level of logical and philological expertise."His Stoic Logic, based on his Ph.D. thesis, first published in 1953 and then reprinted in 1973 with a new preface, "was one of the first works to open the way for serious study and proper appreciation of the Stoics as philosophers and logicians.Greater sophistication in mathematical logic made it possible for Benson to demonstrate clearly for the first time the intricate ways in which the logical ideas of the Stoics were well in advance of those of Aristotle and in many respects closer to our own.The book remains a landmark in both fields." ** The Advanced Reasoning Forum is pleased to make available this exact reproduction of the 1973 text in its Classic Reprints series.

Fallacies

John Mansley Robinson (1921-2015) was a scholar and teacher at first the University of Maryland and then Windham College.His textbook on early Greek philosophy has been considered the classic on the subject, a fine introduction for students and a very useful survey for academics. --*The selection of primary source materials for the whole sequence from Ionians to Sophists is adequate to generous.. . .Robinson''s translations of the fragments are, on the whole, precise and sensitive . . . His introductory and connecting comments are lucid, well-informed, and discreet.* (Alexander Mourelatos, J. History of Philosophy) --*. . . this book is so far superior to its rivals that it is hard to imagine how a teacher who uses it once can prefer any other existing text. The style and organization of the book are clear and attractive, the scholarship is sound and up to date, the exposition of philosophic ideas is precise and coherent . . .*(Charles H. Kahn, J. of Philosophy)
