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.
Peter Adamson's History of Philosophy without any gaps series of podcasts is one of the most ambitious educational works on the web. It aims to do nothing less than take listeners through the entire history of philosophy 'without any gaps'. It assumes no prior knowledge making it ideal for beginners. This is the second volume to make these witty, and highly accessible, podcasts available in book form. Philosophy in the Hellenistic and Roman Worlds offers a tour through a period of eight hundred years when some of the most influential of all schools of thought were formed. From the counter-cultural witticisms of Diogenes the Cynic to the political philosophy of Augustine, the book gathers together all aspects of later ancient thought in a way that is a pleasure to read.
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
