Does a very good job of establishing the easily forgotten difference and remoteness of the ancient Greek cultural and intellectual background. Also a good synopsis of the Pre-Socratics and their concerns, putting Socrates, Plato and Aristotle in appropriate context, plus a good explanation of key Greek terms and concepts. Some of these can’t really be translated directly, so this is pretty valuable. Guthrie knows his subject well and packs a lot into 175 pages. It’s also an easy and pleasant read. ( ) I am an untrained, untaught person who is mildly interested in philosophy, or at least the origins of such thinking. For the most part I have always thought it a lot of impractical nonsense. Until I read this book. Guthrie begins from the beginning and explains in such a way that even I am now interested. I was afraid this would be a slog, but at times it was difficult to put down. I won't claim to have understood it all perfectly, but I can say that it gave me a new appreciation for philosophy in so much as that I now am curious to read about how it developed in other cultures around the world.

W.K.C. Guthrie has written a survey of the great age of Greek philosophy - from Thales to Aristotle - which 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 reader - as well as providing a firm basis for specialist studies. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
