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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 197mmItem Length: 130mmItem Width: 10mmItem Weight: 102gAuthor: Miriam LeonardGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: How to ReadRelease Year: 2008 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
