The fragments and testimonia of the early Greek philosophers (often labeled the Presocratics) have always been not only a fundamental source for understanding archaic Greek culture and ancient philosophy but also a perennially fresh resource that has stimulated Western thought until the present day. This new systematic conception and presentation of the evidence differs in three ways from Hermann Diels's groundbreaking work, as well as from later editions: it renders explicit the material's thematic organization; it includes a selection from such related bodies of evidence as archaic poetry, classical drama, and the Hippocratic corpus; and it presents an overview of the reception of these thinkers until the end of antiquity. Volume I contains introductory and reference materials essential for using all other parts of the edition. Volumes II-III include chapters on ancient doxography, background, and the Ionians from Pherecydes to Heraclitus. Volumes IV-V present western Greek thinkers from the Pythagoreans to Hippo. Volumes VI-VII comprise later philosophical systems and their aftermath in the fifth and early fourth centuries. Volumes VIII-IX present fifth-century reflections on language, rhetoric, ethics, and politics (the so-called sophists and Socrates) and conclude with an appendix on philosophy and philosophers in Greek drama.

The book has a “Preliminaries” section which includes a section on Doxography and successions, and this is followed by a “Background” section which discusses what was thought about the cosmos and gods and men. This sets up the first discussions on the earliest philosophers of which we have any kind of evidence. The four earliest philosophers discussed are Pherecydes, Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes. We get an impression of what was thought about each of these philosophers, but this serves more as a foundation for learning about Greek Philosophy and how it evolved than it does as evidence of what any of these Philosophers actually said or potentially wrote.
I would have preferred if Loeb and merged this volume with volume 1 to provide the full foundation of the methodology and earliest thoughts in one volume to provide a great start for this series of books, but even without that this volume has a lot of value in and of itself. ( )
