Aimed at students of classics and of philosophy who would like a
taste of the subject before being committed to a full course and at
those who have already started and need to find their bearings in
what may seem at first a complex maze of names and schools,
"Introducing Greek Philosophy" is a concise, lively,
philosophically aware introduction to ancient Greek philosophy. The
book begins with the Milesians in Asia Minor before moving over to
the developments in the western Greek world, then focusing on
Socrates, Plato and Aristotle in Athens, finishing with the
Hellenistic schools and their arrival in Rome, where the main ideas
are set out in the Latin poetry of Lucretius and the prose of
Cicero.The book eschews the method of most histories of ancient
philosophy of addressing one thinker after another through the
centuries. Instead, after a basic mapping of the territory, it
takes the great themes that the Greeks were engaged in from the
earliest times, and looks at them individually, their development
in argument and counter-argument, from the beginnings of recorded
Greek history, through the various upheavals of tyrannies,
democracies, oligarchies and kingships, to their introduction into
Rome in the first century BC.
