Thinkers such as Aristotle, Plato and Parmenides have shaped the
way we see the world, and it is their original conception of
philosophy which has placed topics such as logic, metaphysics,
ethics and ontology at the heart of philosophical debates for
centuries. Miriam Leonard not only explores the central theories of
their works, but also gives some sense of the process of
abstraction, which sees written texts transformed into timeless
ideals. She looks at how simple phrases such as 'In what way?' or
'There is ...' are turned into the language of philosophy. Taking
passages from Heraclitus, Parmenides, Lucretius and Cicero, as well
as Plato and Aristotle, she investigates the breadth and diversity
of Greek and Roman thought and provides an account of the influence
of its texts on the later history of ideas.
