"One of the better introductions to Greek thought I have come across. The book is expertly organised in relation to the questions that probed the philosophers at the time."
"Perusing this short book has helped extend my sketchy knowledge about the inception and expansion of philosophy in ancient Greece, and the book is surprisingly friendly to its readers.
Guthrie looks at the pre-Socratic philosophers first, then the Big Three: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. This leaves out later philosophers such as the Epicureans and the Stoics, but provides us a much stronger background on those Big Three. To my surprise, however, the book included no discussion on the development of logic, for which Aristotle is known.
Among the many interesting tidbits, the author talks about the changing meaning of the word virtue, the actual reason Plato made such an issue of his Forms, and the vacuum around the subject of epistemology in a tradition focused upon metaphysics and ethics. The discussion gave me an appreciation of Aristotle's stress upon the immanent, and his introduction of potentiality as a hitherto unheard-of concept which solved many early conceptual puzzles.
As the story progresses, it shapes a picture of a society emerging from barbarism into a strikingly advanced state. I happily recommend this easy read for anyone curious about philosophy and classical studies."
