Although the Greeks were responsible for the first systematic
philosophy of which we have any record, they were not alone in the
Mediterranean world and were happy to draw inspiration from other
traditions; traditions that are now largely neglected by
philosophers and scholars. This book tells the story of 'Greek
Philosophy', paying due attention to its historical context and the
contributions made by Egyptians, Hebrews, Persians and even
barbarians from northern Europe. Stephen Clark provides a narrative
history of the philosophical traditions that took shape over
several centuries in the Mediterranean world and offers a
comprehensive survey of this crucial period in the history of
philosophy. The book includes a thorough historical and
philosophical overview of all the key thinkers, events and ideas
that characterized the period and explores in detail central themes
such as the contest of gods and giants, the contrast between the
reality and appearance, and the idea of the philosopher. Ideal for
undergraduate students, this concise and accessible book provides a
comprehensive guide to a fascinating period in the history of
philosophy.>
