Richard Sorabji here presents a selection of his previously-published papers on four topics in ancient philosophy: two on the mind-body relation, nine on sense perception, and one each on moral conscience and on the will.

The picture of the four main topics shows that each continued to develop throughout the 1200 year course of Ancient Greek Philosophy up to 600 CE.
