Abstract

The contribution of Eduard Zeller (1814-1908) relating to history of philosophy concerns almost exclusively the history of ancient philosophy and, in particular, the history of Greek philosophy. The results he obtained in the field of philological research as well as his efforts to achieve scientific accuracy enhanced modern criteria of the history of philosophy. Various revisers and editors of his great work "The philosophy of the Greeks" improved it by important complements due to new results provided by research in the course of its historical development.
