'We are all Greeks. Our laws, our literature, our religion, our
arts, have their root in Greece', the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley
once wrote. It is in Greek that the questions which shaped the
destiny of Western culture were asked, and so were the first
attempts at an answer, and the search for a method of
investigation. This book tries to rediscover the propulsive force
that for over two millennia spread, and still lives in our system
of thought. By systematically quoting the very words of the leading
actors and by tracing their sources, it leads the reader along a
path where they will be able to observe the establishment of
philosophical ideas and language, in an updated and balanced
picture of archaic lore, of the thought of the classical and
hellenistic ages, and of the philosophy of late antiquity. The book
looks closely at the progress of scientific thought and at its
increasing autonomy, while following the evolution of the fruitful
yet problematic relationship between the Greek world and the Near
East.
