Download or read book Lovers of Wisdom written by Daniel Kolak and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 2001 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the most exciting and comprehensive text with integrated readings for introducing students to philosophy. It presents the big picture with all the right details. The central idea is to embed the best excerpts from the most important writings of the most important philosophers into one seamless, coherent adventure story in such a way that the reader takes part in the process of discovery. Instead of reading about philosophy, readers acquire philosophical insights into themselves and the world by acquiring a knowledge of philosophical ideas presented in their original contexts. Organized both historically and topically, the book can be used either chronologically or by topics, and to facilitate this for instructors it contains two separate tables of contents. The book covers all the major philosophers from the pre-Socratics to twentieth-century philosophy with a scope wide enough to embrace all schools and traditions-from the analytic and continental to non-western. This approach enables readers to understand the connection between many different ways of looking at ourselves and the world, to obtain a broad and multi-perspectival vision of all the best that philosophy has had to offer, by building philosophical bridges across national, cultural, religious, historical, and scholarly borders.
Book Synopsis Thales of Miletus by : Patricia F. O'Grady
Download or read book Thales of Miletus written by Patricia F. O'Grady and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'What is the basic building block of the universe?' Thales of Miletus was the first to ask this fundamental, yet to be answered, question in the sixth century B.C. This book offers an in-depth account of the answers he gave and of his adventure into many areas of learning: philosophy, science, mathematics and astronomy. Thales proved that the events of nature were comprehensible to man and could be explained without the intervention of mythological beings. Henceforth they became subject to investigation, experiment, questioning and discussion. Presenting for the first time in the English language a comprehensive study of Thales of Miletus, Patricia O'Grady brings Thales out of pre-Socratic shadows into historical illumination and explores why this historical figure has proved to be of lasting significance.
Book Synopsis Myth and Philosophy from the Presocratics to Plato by : Kathryn A. Morgan
Download or read book Myth and Philosophy from the Presocratics to Plato written by Kathryn A. Morgan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-08-17 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the dynamic relationship between myth and philosophy in the Presocratics, the Sophists, and in Plato - a relationship which is found to be more extensive and programmatic than has been recognized. The story of philosophy's relationship with myth is that of its relationship with literary and social convention. The intellectuals studied here wanted to reformulate popular ideas about cultural authority and they achieved this goal by manipulating myth. Their self-conscious use of myth creates a self-reflective philosophic sensibility and draws attention to problems inherent in different modes of linguistic representation. Much of the reception of Greek philosophy stigmatizes myth as 'irrational'. Such an approach ignores the important role played by myth in Greek philosophy, not just as a foil but as a mode of philosophical thought. The case studies in this book reveal myth deployed as a result of methodological reflection, and as a manifestation of philosophical concerns.

Book Synopsis Before And After Socrates by : Prof. F. M. Cornford
Download or read book Before And After Socrates written by Prof. F. M. Cornford and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Socrates was one of that small number of adventurers who, from time to time, have enlarged the horizon of the human spirit.’ In this book, F. M. Cornford explains why the life and work of Socrates stand out as marking a turning-point in the history of thought. He shows how Socrates revolutionized the concept of philosophy, converting it from the study of Nature to the study of the human soul, the meaning of right and wrong, and the ends for which we ought to live. This is, in fact, the story of the whole creative period of Greek philosophy—the Ionian science of Nature before Socrates, Socrates himself, and his chief followers, Plato and his pupil Aristotle. It tells of the different contributions each made, and shows how within three centuries the Greek tradition grew to maturity and the fullness of intellectual power. ‘Refreshing and stimulating...it is not only a masterly piece of condensation, nor only a delightful introduction to further reading; it is more, and it claims the attention of every serious student of the subject.’—Journal of Hellenic Studies ‘It can be confidently recommended to those who wish for a competent statement in a short compass of what the Greek philosophers believed and why.’—C. E. M. JOAD in New Statesman ‘Provides a clear insight into the development of Greek philosophy and a brilliant commentary on the Greek mind and its attitude to life. The first chapter forms one of the most attractive introductions to philosophy that it is possible to find.’—The Times Literary Supplement

Download or read book My First Socrates (and the Pre-Socratics) written by Enrico Valente and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-07-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has philosophy always intrigued and fascinated you but also frightened you because of the complexity of its content and the philosophers' abstruse language? Or have you studied it at school without understanding it much and perhaps in an uninspiring way? This book is designed for those approaching philosophy for the first time and wanting to understand and love it without too much effort and in an enjoyable way. My First Socrates (and the pre-Socratics), the first issue of the Great Philosophers series, will take you on a fascinating journey to discover the beginnings of Western philosophy. We will introduce the pre-Socratic philosophers, from the Ionian to the Eleatic schools. We will see who was the first philosopher to speak about being, we will present Zeno's paradoxes, Heraclitus' thought and the sophists Protagoras and Gorgias. Some pages will also be devoted to Greek tragedy and its three most illustrious playwrights, Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. Socrates, the philosopher who let himself die for the truth, will obviously be given ample space. We will conclude with the schools of thought that arose after Socrates' death.
