In more than 60 essays by an international team of scholars, this volume explores the full breadth & reach of Greek thought: investigating what the Greeks knew as well as what they thought about what they knew, & what they believed , invented, and understood about the conditions & possibilities of knowing, Calling attention to the characteristic reflexivity of Greek thought, the analysis in this book reminds us of what our own reflections owe to theirs. In sections devoted to philosophy, politics, the pursuit of knowledge, major figures, & currents of thought, this work show us the Greeks looking at themselves, establishing the terms for understanding life, language, production, & action. The authors invoke not history, but the stories the Greeks told themselves about history; not their poetry, but their poetics; not their speeches, but their rhetoric. Essays that survey political, scientific, & philosophical ideas, such as those on "Utopia & the Critique of Politics," "Observation & Research," and "Ethics"; others on specific fields from Astronomy & History to Mathematics & Medicine; new perspectives on major figures, from Anaxagoras to Zeno of Elea; studies of core traditions from the Milesians to the various versions of Platonism: together these offer a sense of the unquenchable thirst for knowledge that marked Greek civilization & that Aristotle considered a natural & universal trait of humankind. With 32 pages of color illustrations, this work conveys the splendor & vitaity of the Greek intellectual adventure. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: Jacques Brunschwig is Professr Emeritus, Universite de Paris-I, Pantheon-Sorbonne.
