Early Greek philosophy -- Socrates and Plato -- Aristotle.
Deze serie duikt in het uitgestrekte landschap van filosofisch denken, en volgt de reis ervan vanaf de verre oorsprong tot aan de klassieke oudheid. Het gaat verder dan alleen de beroemdste namen en belicht de vaak over het hoofd geziene figuren en ideeën die de intellectuele geschiedenis hebben gevormd. Gepresenteerd met een lichte maar geleerde toets, is dit een boeiende verkenning van complexe ideeën voor iedereen die nieuwsgierig is naar hoe we zijn gaan denken zoals we denken.





Early Greek philosophy -- Socrates and Plato -- Aristotle.
one of the most accomplished and ambitious ventures in publishing . . . from the first volume onwards, a repeated refrain has been philosophers arguing that being a philosopher is the best choice in life. These books are so engaging, instructive and diverting it might almost make you believe that is true. The Scotsman
This is a well-written and interesting work . . . the author deserves credit for engaging with such a complex subject and making it accessible to the public. Muhammad Khan, The Muslim News
