9781332899814: English Mechanic and World of Science, Vol. 38

Synopsis

This book delves into the origins of western philosophy and subsequent developments in political philosophy and explores the ancient Greek world and its enduring influence on modern thought. The author argues that we can trace the roots of many contemporary moral, legal, and political ideas back to ancient thinkers like Plato and Aristotle. Concepts such as democracy and freedom of speech, as well as the foundations of logic and mathematics, all developed in ancient Greece, and the book explores how these ideas have shaped intellectual history in the west.
