Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is one of the earliest attempts to systematically examine the attributes assumed by the gods in ancient philosophy. The author, a philosopher himself, presents the arguments of several schools of thought in turn, using a series of dialogues between supporters of different viewpoints. With each philosopher presenting their case and then having it questioned by the others, this book is an excellent way to get to grips with classical metaphysics. The author's decision to focus on the nature of the gods works well, as it allows us to see the same problems being tackled with a variety of different approaches, which many readers will find useful for their own studies or as a foundation for further reading. The work of this philosopher ultimately went on to form a major influence on Christian theology, so this book provides insights into the roots of that system of belief as well.
