Ancient Greek Philosophy Its Development and Relevance to Our Time

In highlighting only the major philosophers of ancient Greece and their perennial influence, this book not only reveals an overlooked continuity in philosophical development but its influence on the great ideas and dynamic events of our time. An ancient metaphysical development is related to its astonishing impact on Greek science, religion, morality, politics and art as well as to our own conventions ranging from norms of politeness and conceptions of ourselves as men and women to scientific methodology and standards of good government. The book is appropriate for students with a minimal background in philosophy and for scholars in as much as it both clarifies basic philosophical developments and ties them, in a scholarly manner, to contemporary controversies and issues.Trundle, Robert C. is the author of 'Ancient Greek Philosophy Its Development and Relevance to Our Time' with ISBN 9781856289788 and ISBN 1856289788.
