NOTES

Jim Philip was a scholar of exceptionally wide culture and of great intellectual vigor. He did not enter upon a full-time academic career until he was over 50, but quickly made up for lost time by winning an enviable reputation as a teacher and publishing scholar. His book on Pythagoras and early Pythagoreanism and a series of articles on Plato's epistemology and the evolution of the Platonic corpus established him as one of Canada's leading thinkers in the field of Greek philosophy.
