  | | The Morality of Happiness(Reprint) by Julia Annas Paperback, 512 Pages, Published 1995 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-509652-1, ISBN: 0-19-509652-5 "Ancient ethical theories, based on the notions of virtue and happiness, have struck many as an attractive alternative to modern theories. But we cannot find out whether this is true until we understand ancient ethics--and to do this we need to examine the basic structure of ancient ethical theory, not just the details of one or two theories. In this book, Annas brings together the results of a wide-ranging study of ancient ethical phi ..." |
 | | An Introduction to Plato's Republic(1st Edition) by Julia Annas Paperback, 370 Pages, Published 1981 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-827429-2, ISBN: 0-19-827429-7 "This interpretive introduction provides unique insight into Plato's Republic. Stressing Plato's desire to stimulate philosophical thinking in his readers, Julia Annas here demonstrates the coherence of his main moral argument on the nature of justice, and expounds related concepts of education, human motivation, knowledge and understanding. In a clear systematic fashion, this book shows that modern moral philosophy still has much to lea ..." |

 | | The Modes of Scepticism Ancient Texts and Modern Interpretations by Professor Julia Annas, Jonathan Annas Barnes Paperback, 216 Pages, Published 1985 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-521-27644-3, ISBN: 0-521-27644-6 "The Modes of Scepticism is one of the most important and influential of all ancient philosophical texts. The texts made an enormous impact on Western thought when they were rediscovered in the 16th century and they have shaped the whole future course of Western philosophy. Despite their importance, the Modes have been little discussed in recent times. This book translates the texts and supplies them with a discursive commentary, concent ..." |
 | | Intelligent Virtue(1st Edition) by Julia Annas Paperback, 200 Pages, Published 2009 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-922877-5, ISBN: 0-19-922877-9 "Intelligent Virtue presents a distinctive new account of virtue and happiness as central ethical ideas. Annas argues that exercising a virtue involves practical reasoning of a kind which can illuminatingly be compared to the kind of reasoning we find in someone exercising a practical skill. Rather than asking at the start how virtues relate to rules, principles, maximizing, or a final end, we should look at the way in which the acquisit ..." |

 | | Plato(1st Edition) (A Brief Insight) by Julia Annas Hardcover, 192 Pages, Published 2009 by Sterling ISBN-13: 978-1-4027-7052-4, ISBN: 1-4027-7052-9 "Plato talks of love between men producing intellectual "offspring" which are far to be preferred to the mere physical offspring that men and women produce together. Here he is probably just picking up contemporary contempt for the feminine sphere in taking love between men to be superior, intellectually and otherwise, to heterosexual love; though he probably exaggerates this contempt, as well as the significance of homoerotic love ..." |
 | | Platonic Ethics, Old and New (Cornell Studies in Classical Philology, V. 57.) by Julia Annas, University Of Arizona Paperback, 196 Pages, Published 2000 by Cornell University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8014-8517-6, ISBN: 0-8014-8517-7 "Analyzes central ethical themes in Plato by relying in part on approaches taken by ancient Platonists that are neglected by contemporary scholars. Annas shows that the ancients were correct in claiming that Plato promotes the view that virtue is sufficient for happiness without external goods." |

Cicero is increasingly being appreciated as an intelligent and well-educated amateur philosopher, and in this work he presents the major ethical theories of his time in a way designed to get the reader philosophically engaged in the important debates. Raphael Woolf's translation does justice to Cicero's argumentative vigour as ..." |
 | | Virtue and Law in Plato and Beyond (Paperback) by Julia Annas, Regents Professor Of Philosophy, University Of Arizona 256 Pages, Published 2020 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-885100-4, ISBN: 0-19-885100-6 "Julia Annas explores how Plato's account of the relation of virtue to law developed, and how his ideas were taken up by Cicero and by Philo of Alexandria." |
 | | Virtue and Law in Plato and Beyond(1st Edition) by Julia Annas Hardcover, 256 Pages, Published 2017 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-875574-6, ISBN: 0-19-875574-0 "Julia Annas presents a study of Plato's account of the relation of virtue to law: how it developed from the Republic to the Laws, and how his ideas were taken up by Cicero and by Philo of Alexandria. Annas shows that, rather than rejecting the approach to an ideal society in the Republic (as generally thought), Plato is in both dialogues concerned with the relation of virtue to law, and obedience to law, and presents, in the Laws, a mor ..." |

Such interest in virtue development has spread beyond academia, as teachers and parents have increasingly striven to cultivate virtue as part of education and child-rearing. Looking at these parallel trends in the study and pr ..." |
 | | Cicero's De Finibus Philosophical Approaches by Julia Annas, Gábor Betegh Hardcover, 276 Pages, Published 2016 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-1-107-07483-5, ISBN: 1-107-07483-5 "Cicero is increasingly recognised as a highly intelligent contributor to the ongoing ethical debates between Epicureans, Stoics and other schools. In this work on the fundamentals of ethics his learning as a scholar, his skill as a lawyer and his own passion for the truth result in a work which dazzles us in its presentation of the debates and at the same time exhibits the detachment of the ancient sceptic. Many kinds of reader will fin ..." |

In them, he criticizes Plato's theories and suggests alternatives of his own. This commentary concentrates on the continuing philosophical interest of these books rather than on scholarly controversies, and will provide a clear introduction for students, including those without Greek, to an unjustly neglected part ..." |
