RYFFEL, H., Matabole politeion. Der Wandel der Staatsverfassungen. Arno Press, New York, 1973. Photomechanical reprint ed.1949. (VI),282p. Cloth. Series: Greek History. 'The classification of constitutions and the examination of the processes whereby they succeed one another are basic in ancient political theory; in their particular aspect of study as the succession of forms of organized community (...) these questions are the subject of this monograph. (...) Though too much has been attempted for proper discussion, that is not to say that the author has not deserved well in tracing the development of these important ideas from their origins in Greece to their exposition in relation to rome. The argument is supported by a wealth of footnotes (...), and supplemented by a number of appendixes.' (R.J. HOPPER in The Classical Review (New Series), 1951, pp.217-19). € 75.00 (Antiquarian)

[F]or readers who are eager to learn from the church fathers, Rylaarsdam's volume is instructive, particularly when it comes to all that is involved in being in the world but not of it, in meeting people where they are in order to help them progress to the next level in faith and love. Readers will come away with an appreciation for Chrysostom's task as a preacher and pastor and for the enormity of this task today. Keith D.

RYLE, G., Plato's Progress. University Press, Cambridge, 1966. VIII,311p. Cloth wrps. Name on free endpaper. 'This is a challenging book. Professor Ryle rejects the orthodox account of Plato's life and intellectual development and offers in its place a new and radically different version, giving fairly precise dates for the composition of all the major dialogues. (...) Since this book is essentially an historical study, its value depends on the way in which Ryle treats historical evidence, and here Ryle seems to lay himself open to three main criticisms. 1. Ryle's use of evidence is extremely scarce and uncritical. (...) 2. Ryle presents his evidence in a tendentious and dogmatic way. (...) 3. Ryle is too easily carried away by fanciful speculation that have only the flimsiest evidence to support them. This is a fundamental weakness of the book (....). Ryle has done a valuable service in reminding us that there are difficulties in the accepted account and that the evidence for it is often very slight. But the value of his reminder is sadly diminished by the irresponsible way in which he presents his own account.' (H.J. EASTERLING in The Classical Review (New Series), 1967, pp.332-36). € 17.50 (Antiquarian)

RYLE, G., Dilemmas: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2015. 120p. Hardback. Series: Cambridge Philosophy Classics. Common sense tells me I can control my life to some extent; should I then, faced with a logical argument for fatalism, reject common sense? There seems to be no place in a physical theory of the universe for the sensory experiences of colours, taste and smells, yet I know I have these experiences. In this book, Gilbert Ryle explores the conflicts that arise in everyday life and shows that the either/or which such dilemmas seem to suggest is a false dilemma: one side of the dilemma does not deny what we know to be true on the other side. This classic book has been revived in a new series livery for twenty-first-century readers, featuring a specially commissioned preface written by Barry Stroud.
