Synopsis

A contemporary classic that has endured in France for half a century. "Greek reason is the daughter of the city-state." 长销法国半个世纪的当代经典 "希腊理性是城邦的女儿" Why did Western rational thought first emerge in the Greek world? How did the philosophical and mathematical traditions that have shaped the West for millennia come to be born on the islands of the Aegean Sea? In his classic work The Origins of Greek Thought, the French scholar Jean-Pierre Vernant offers a brilliant thesis: Greek reason is the daughter of the city-state (polis). With the collapse of the Mycenaean palace culture, the open public square (agora) replaced the walled palace, free debate supplanted the sacred commands of the royal court, and egalitarian relations among citizens took the place of hierarchical structures of ruler and ruled. In this new social space, the Greeks opened up a new horizon of vision. The philosophers projected their lived experience of the city-state onto the cosmos, and in doing so, ultimately gave birth to the distinctive and enduring tradition of Greek philosophy. 西方理性思想为何发轫于希腊世界？影响西方数千年的哲学和数学思维，又是如何从爱琴海诸岛诞生的？ 法国学者韦尔南在其经典作品《希腊思想的起源》中，给出了一个精彩的判断：希腊理性是城邦的女儿。随着迈锡尼王宫文化的陨落，开放的公共广场取代了围墙高筑的宫殿，自由的辩论取代了神圣的王宫号令，人人平等的公民关系取代统治与被统治的权力结构，希腊人也因此打开了新的视野。哲学家们将城邦的生活体验投射进宇宙，终形成了独树一帜的希腊哲学。
