The Greek Philosophers: Selected Greek Texts from the Presocratics, Plato and Aristotle: Greek Texts

Autor J.H. Lesher
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 sep 1998
The Greek Philosophers represents an number of the most famous and influential ancient Greek philosophical texts, along with notes on translation and philosophical content. The texts selected represent a broad cross section of ancient Greek thinking on the nature of reality knowledge and moral virtue. Among the selections are fragments of the writings of the pre-Socratic thinkers Anaximander, Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, Democritus, and Anaxagoras; portions of Platos' dialogues Crito, Meno, Symposium, Republic, and Timaeous, and selections from Aristotle's De Anima, Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics, parts of Animals and Posterior Analytics. The notes on translation assume an elementary knowledge of ancient Greek, (i.e. a familiarity with the basic vocabulary and syntax of Attic Greek) but the discussions of philosophical content assume no prior study of philosophy. Students will work through each of the book's sixteen chapters and acquire a detailed understanding of some of the most fascinating and seminal texts that have come to us from antiquity.
