Classical Greek Philosophy

The Greeks gifted the world geometry, mathematics, physics, astronomy, politics, economics… And also a special area of human knowledge — philosophy, "love of wisdom." Classical Greek philosophy is characterized by an extraordinary abundance of various teachings, views, theories, and names for such a relatively short historical period — in Greece, at the very heart of the Mediterranean world, European civilization was bubbling and being born like in a cauldron. In this edition, philosopher, writer, and translator Vladimir Rokhmistrov invites readers to trace the history of the formation of ancient Greek thought "from the simplest and most universal notions of Earth and Water, of Air and the heated Fire of the Sun to the consideration of the subtlest emotional movements of man."
