In these pages I offer, in the first place, some general reflections on the philosophical value of the study of Ancient Philosophy. I consider both the interest of the methodological and argumentative aspects of ancient texts, and the relevance of their content. Regarding the last point, I review some instances of “rehabilitation” of ancient philosophers during the last decades, in order to highlight the manner and extent to which creative philosophical reflection pays heed to the ancients and finds in them, once and again, philosophical inspiration and a source of fresh answers to old philosophical problems. Finally, I summarize the content of the articles within this special issue.
