This book takes a new approach to the question, "Is the philosopher
to be seen as universal human being or as eccentric?". Through a
reading of the Theaetetus, Pappas first considers how we identify
philosophers - how do they appear, in particular how do they dress?
The book moves to modern philosophical treatments of fashion, and
of "anti-fashion". He argues that aspects of the
fashion/anti-fashion debate apply to antiquity, indeed that nudity
at the gymnasia was an anti-fashion. Thus anti-fashion provides a
way of viewing ancient philosophy's orientation toward a social
world in which, for all its true existence elsewhere, philosophy
also has to live.
