With an new foreword by James Warren Long renowned as one of the
clearest and best introductions to ancient Greek philosophy for
non-specialists, W.K.C Guthrie's The Greek Philosophers offers us a
brilliant insight into the hidden foundations of Greek philosophy -
foundations that underpin Western thought today. Guthrie explores
the great age of Greek Philosophy - from Thales to Aristotle -
whilst combining comprehensiveness with brevity. He unpacks the
ideas and arguments of Plato and Aristotle in the light of their
predecessors rather than their successors and describes the
characteristic features of the Greek way of thinking, emphasising
what he calls the 'cultural soil' of their ideas. He also
highlights the achievements of thinkers such as Pythagoras, who in
contemporary accounts of Greek philosophy are frequently
overlooked. Combining philosophical insight and historical
sensitivity, The Greek Philosophers offers newcomers a brilliant
introduction to the greatest thinkers in ancient Greek philosophy
and the very origins of Western thought.
