		+	\| comment=This work not only examines the Zoroastrian influence on Greek philosophy, but also, incorporates a comparison and contrast component in how the two cultures dealt with similar philosophical issues and interacted with each other. An example of a contrast discussed is that the Greek sense of life as tragic motivated their philosophical views of the divine and eternity. The gods were a-thanatoi (alpha negation of thanatos, death) and eternity was timeless. By contrast, Zoroastrian thought elevated time into being a divine predicate. Eternity was infinite and everlasting time. An example of a similarity discussed is that both Greek philosophy in its southern Italian and Sicilian Eleatic and Pythagorean traditions as well as the Platonic philosophy took the Good as the supreme metaphysical principle by which the cosmos was to be understood. In this, Greek thinkers took their cue from Zarathustra.

		+	\| comment=In German, the argument of this work is that Zoroastrianism and Zoroastrian philosophy had a significant influence on Greek philosophy and Roman philosophy. It investigates and examines the several lines of influence as even recorded by classical writers. For example, Eudoxus of Cnidus and Pliny the Elder praised Zoroastrian philosophy. Eudoxus taught principles of Zoroastrian philosophy to Plato who incorporated much of it into his own Platonic theory of the forms. Colotes notes in the 3rd century B.C.E. that Plato's Republic incorporates parts of a lost Zoroastrian work titled On Nature.

		+	\| comment=After his widely acclaimed book on Ancient Philosophy, Empedocles and Pythagoras, where he argued that ancient philosophy was something more like a spiritual path resembling ancient shamanism or yoga, Kingsley moved on to argue in this book that the school of Parmenides was also such a tradition. It was also a medical tradition that survived in the Islamic world and influenced Sufism. Unlike his first book, this one is geared towards a general readership with all academic devices confined to the back.

		+	\| comment=One of the new outstanding introdcutions to Cynic philosophy as a religious and socially radical continuation of Socrates's legacy. It clearly explains how ancient cycnicism meant something radically different that the meaning that the term "cynicism" has today. One might describe Cynicism as almost a Socratic Stoicism that incorporated a social activism in contrast to Stoicism. Some New Testament scholars believe there is sufficient evidence to infer that the apocalyptic prophet, Jesus of Nazareth, was trained or influenced in Cynic philosophy in the Cynic school at Gedara which was six kilometers from Nazareth. Their main philosophical and socially activist rhetorical "weapon" was the parable.
