'What is the basic building block of the universe?' Thales of Miletus was the first to ask this fundamental, yet to be answered, question in the sixth century B.C. This book offers an in-depth account of the answers he gave and of his adventure into many areas of learning: philosophy, science, mathematics and astronomy. Thales proved that the events of nature were comprehensible to man and could be explained without the intervention of mythological beings. Henceforth they became subject to investigation, experiment, questioning and discussion. Presenting for the first time in the English language a comprehensive study of Thales of Miletus, Patricia O'Grady brings Thales out of pre-Socratic shadows into historical illumination and explores why this historical figure has proved to be of lasting significance.

Widely praised for its accessibility and its concentration on the metaphysical issues that are most central to the history of Greek philosophy, this book offers a valuable introduction to the works of the Presocratics, Plato, and Aristotle.

W.K.C. Guthrie has written a survey of the great age of Greek philosophy - from Thales to Aristotle - which combines comprehensiveness with brevity. Without pre-supposing a knowledge of Greek or the Classics, he sets out to explain the ideas of Plato and Aristotle in the light of their predecessors rather than their successors, and to describe the characteristic features of the Greek way of thinking and outlook on the world. Thus The Greek Philosophers provides excellent background material for the general reader - as well as providing a firm basis for specialist studies.

Soon after its publication, Readings in Ancient Greek Philosophy was hailed as the favorite to become "the 'standard' text for survey courses in ancient philosophy."* More than twenty years later that prediction has been borne out: Readings in Ancient Greek Philosophy still stands as the leading anthology of its kind. It is now stronger than ever: The Fifth Edition of Readings in Ancient Greek Philosophy features a completely revised Aristotle unit, with new translations, as well as a newly revised glossary. The Plato unit offers new translations of the Meno and Republic. In the latter, indirect dialogue is cast into direct dialogue for greater readability. The Presocratics unit has been re-edited and streamlined, and the pages of every unit have been completely reset. * APA Newsletter for Teaching Philosophy

“ “Greek philosophy began on May28, 585 B.C. at six-thirteen in the evening.” With this arresting statement, Gordon Clark begins his account of philosophy’s roots. Thales to Dewey is a comprehensive yet clear-eyed overview of the history of thought, an intelligible survey of a difficult subject. Part One explores the Greeks’ attempts to determine the nature of reality. Part Two presents the medieval thinkers who reconciled Christianity and philosophy. And Part Three discusses the modern thinkers – Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, Hegel, the post-Hegelian philosophers, and the pragmatists through Dewey. Dr. Clark is known for his precise, engaging writing style and his ability to convey complex ideas to students. Thales to Dewey is a thorough study of the major philosophical issues, rather than an encyclopedia of philosophers. As Dr. Clark says, “A reasonably clear grasp of one problem is better than a dim and faulty memory of a hundred.” The student will come away from this text with an accurate and concise understanding of the major philosophers and philosophic ideas through history.”- Publisher

Excerpt from A History of Philosophy, From Thales to the Present Time Since all subsequent definitions of philosophy until the modern period were more or less exact repetitions of those above cited and hence may here be omitted, we pus on to the definition which was received in the school of Leibnitz and Wolfi'. Christian Wolff presents (phaca. Rationalis. Disafi'aelim., the following as a definition originating with himself: (acoustic philomhz'ca at) cognate rationis comm, quac mt val final, undo intelligahcr, cur sint val oat; (ibid. Philosophic est act'cnlt'a possibilium, quatenus. Ease peasant. This definition is obviously cognate with the Platonic and Aristotelian definitions, in so far as it makes philosophy conversant with the rational grounds (ratio) and the causes, through which existing objects and changes become possible. It does not contain the restriction to first causes, and hence Wolff's conception of philosophy is the wider one; but it fails, on the other hand (as do Plato and Aristotle, when they use Wit: in the broader signifi cation as synonymous with Ema-rims) to mark the boundaries between philosophy and the positive (in particular, the mathematical) sciences. In this latter particular Kant seeks to reach a more accurate determination. Kant (critique of Pure Reason, Doctrine of Method, chap. 3) divides knowledge in general, as to its form, into historical (oogm'tz'o ea: datis), and rational (cogniti'o ea: prmapfi's), and the latter again into mathematical (rational cognition through the construction of concepts), and philosophical (rational cognition through concepts as such). Philosophy, in its scho lastic signification, is defined by him as the system of all the branches of philosophical knowledge, but in its cosmical signification, as the science of the relation of all knowledge to the essential ends of human reason (teleologia ratiom's kamunae). Herbart (introd. To Philan, 4 f.) defines philosophy as the elaboration of conceptions. This elaboration comprehends the three pro'cosses of the analysis, the correction and the completion of the conceptions, the latter process depending on the determination of their rank and value. This gives, as the leading branches of philosophy, logic, metaphysim. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
