Description
Early Greek Philosophy brings together the foundational works of some of the most influential thinkers in Western philosophy. These ancient philosophers laid the groundwork for their successors, including Plato and Aristotle, with ideas that were remarkably forward-thinking for their time.
The Pre-Socratics, as they are known, were driven by a desire to forge a new scientific vocabulary and way of reasoning. Their thoughts may be fragmentary at times, but they share a striking modernity in their concern to understand the world around them.
