Description

Former owner's name to ffep. Very light bump to top of spine. DJ has 1 small closed tear to top edge. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; This study is founded upon an examination of technical problems of textual exegesis and testimony surrounding Axaximander's Apeiron. Includes discussion of controversial ideas within classical scholarship, the author's further purpose is to analyse the 'key idea' of the first Greek philosopher in terms of the function which it performed in his cosmological scheme and of the evolution of early Greek thought from the stage of mythical notions and beliefs to that of distinctly philosophical inquiry. Dr. Seligman offers a new interpretation of the main phases of Hesiod's Theogony, and an illuminating account of the relation between on the one hand abstract and metaphysical and on the other concrete, representational thinking. ; 181 pages
