Product Overview
W.K.C. Guthrie has written a survey of the great age of Greek philosophyfrom Thales to Aristotlewhich combines comprehensiveness with brevity. Without pre-supposing a knowledge of Greek or the Classics, he sets out to explain the ideas of Plato and Aristotle in the light of their predecessors rather than their successors, and to describe the characteristic features of the Greek way of thinking and outlook on the world. Thus The Greek Philosophers provides excellent background material for the general readeras well as providing a firm basis for specialist studies.
