In this third Volume of Logological Investigations, Sandywell
continues his sociological reconstruction of the origins of
reflexive thought and discourse with special reference to
pre-Socratic philosophy and science and their socio-political
context.
He begins by criticizing traditional histories of philosophy which
abstract speculative thought from its sociocultural and historical
contexts, and proposes instead an explicitly contextual and
reflexive approach to ancient Greek society and culture.
Each chapter is devoted to a seminal figure or "school" of
reflection in early Greek philosophy. Special emphasis is placed
upon the verbal and rhetorical innovations of protophilosophy in
the sixth and fifth centuries BC. These chapters are also exemplary
displays of the distinctive Logological method of culture analysis
and through them Sandywell shows that by returning to the earliest
problematics of reflexivity in pre-modern culture we may gain an
insight into some of the central currents of modern and postmodern
self-reflection.
