Description

The Traveller's Guide to Classical Philosophy by John Gaskin is an engaging account of the philosophical ideas that shaped the ancient world. From Homer's Greece to the decline of paganism in AD 391, Gaskin explores the key concepts and thinkers that influenced Western thought. Witty sketches and diagrams bring the story to life, making this book a compelling read for anyone curious about the big questions of life, nature, and human existence. The guide concludes with a comprehensive gazetteer, listing notable sites and the people and ideas associated with them, making it an ideal companion for visitors to classical ruins or those simply interested in exploring these topics. This book is perfect for armchair travellers who want to explore the culture and society of ancient Greece and Rome, and gain a deeper understanding of their enduring legacy.
