This book presents some of the most recent trends and developments in Presocratic scholarship. A wide range of topics are covered - from the metaphysical to the moral to the methodological - as well as a broad a range of authors: from recognized figures such as Heraclitus and Parmenides to Sophistic thinkers whose place has traditionally been marginalized, such as Gorgias and the author of the Dissoi Logoi. Several of the pieces are concerned with the later reception and influence of the Presocratics on ancient philosophy, an area of study important both for the light it sheds on our evidence for Presocratic thought and for understanding the philosophical power of their ideas. Drawing together contributions from distinguished authorities and internationally acclaimed scholars of ancient philosophy, this book offers new challenges to traditional interpretations in some areas of Presocratic philosophy and finds new support for traditional interpretations in other areas.
Recenzijas
'... this nicely put together books is a Festschrift in celebration of Alexander Mourelatos' contribution to the study of ancient philosophy... Contributors include a host of Mourelatos' colleagues and former pupils, some of whom are the most well respected scholars in the field... As a whole, the book offers a handful of very good articles on assorted subjects, as well as an ample taste of the current state of scholarly debate surrounding the Presocratics.' Prudentia
