About this title

Synopsis

All volumes of Professor Guthrie's great history of Greek philosophy have won their due acclaim. The most striking merits of Guthrie's work are his mastery of a tremendous range of ancient literature and modern scholarship, his fairness and balance of judgement and the lucidity and precision of his English prose. He has achieved clarity and comprehensiveness.

Book Description

A famous highly praised work is considered definitive by many scholars of classical philosophy. Socrates and the Sophists, which comprise Vol. 3 of the History, are available as two separate paperbacks, with text, bibliographies and indices amended so that each is self-contained.
