Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we talk about Presocratic philosophy, we are speaking about the origins of Greek philosophy and Western rationality itself. But what exactly does it mean to talk about “Presocratic philosophy” in the first place? How did early Greek thinkers come to be considered collectively as Presocratic philosophers? In this brief book, André Laks provides a history of the influential idea of Presocratic philosophy, tracing its historical and philosophical significance and consequences, from its ancient antecedents to its full crystallization in the modern period and its continuing effects today. Laks examines ancient Greek and Roman views about the birth of philosophy before turning to the eighteenth-century emergence of the term “Presocratics” and the debates about it that spanned the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He analyzes the intellectual circumstances that led to the idea of Presocratic philosophy—and what was and is at stake in the construction of the notion. The book closes by comparing two models of the history of philosophy—the phenomenological, represented by Hans-Georg Gadamer, and the rationalist, represented by Ernst Cassirer—and their implications for Presocratic philosophy, as well as other categories of philosophical history. Other figures discussed include Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Diogenes Laertius, Schleiermacher, Hegel, Nietzsche, Max Weber, and J.-P. Vernant. Challenging standard histories of Presocratic philosophy, the book calls for a reconsideration of the conventional story of early Greek philosophy and Western rationality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “D. W. Hamlyn, writing in Philosophy described Volume One, The Beginnings of Philosophy, as ‘an extremely useful one for anyone seriously concerned with the study of the Presocratics’. Volume Two completes the work. It contains a selection of the most influential articles published during the past fifty years on the philosophy of the Greeks before Socrates. Some articles appear here for the first time in English, some have been revised by their authors for publication in this form. The articles in this volume deal with the four major philosophical positions of the period: the arguments of Parmenides and Zeno against earlier or contemporary pluralist theories, and the three pluralist responses of Empedocles, Anaxagoras and the early Atomists. The studies in Presocratic philosophy contained in this and its companion volume will be of interest to students in many disciplines, including the history of philosophy, the history of science, and classical literature.”- Publisher

Download or read book Presocratic Philosophy written by Daniel W. Graham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Presocratics written by James Warren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earliest phase of philosophy in Europe saw the beginnings of cosmology and rational theology, metaphysics, epistemology, and ethical and political theory. It saw the development of a wide range of radical and challenging ideas: from Thales' claim that magnets have souls and Parmenides' account that there is only one unchanging existent to the development of an atomist theory of the physical world. This general account of the Presocratics introduces the major Greek philosophical thinkers from the sixth to the middle of the fifth century BC. It explores how we might go about reconstructing their views and understanding the motivation and context for their work as well as highlighting the ongoing philosophical interest of their often surprising claims. Separate chapters are devoted to each of the major Presocratic thinkers, including Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Leucippus and Democritus, and an introductory chapter sets the scene by describing their intellectual world and the tradition through which their philosophy has been transmitted and interpreted. With a useful chronology and guide to further reading, the book is an ideal introduction for the student and general reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published by the Center for Hellenic Studies, this book investigates the extent to which the Presocratics were hamstrung by their lack of detailed conceptual framework in the case of the words "one" and "many." This investigation is based on Aristotle's analyses. The book also delimits the place of these terms in the ancient evidence for the Eleatics, the Ionians, and Empedocles. It pays special attention to some recent interpretations of Parmenides and considers other major thinkers and scholars. Co-published with the Center for Hellenic Studies at Harvard University.
