Hardback. Condition: New. A celebrated study of the origins of ancient Greek philosophy, now in English for the first timeHow can we talk about the beginnings of philosophy today? How can we avoid the conventional opposition of mythology and the dawn of reason and instead explore the multiple styles of thought that emerged between them? In this acclaimed book, available in English for the first time, Maria Michela Sassi reconstructs the intellectual world of the early Greek "Presocratics" to provide a richer understanding of the roots of what used to be called "the Greek miracle."The beginnings of the long process leading to philosophy were characterized by intellectual diversity and geographic polycentrism. In the sixth and fifth centuries BC, between the Asian shores of Ionia and the Greek city-states of southern Italy, thinkers started to reflect on the cosmic order, elaborate doctrines on the soul, write in solemn Homeric meter, or, later, abandon poetry for an assertive prose. And yet the Presocratics, whether the Milesian natural thinkers, the rhapsode Xenophanes, the mathematician and "shaman" Pythagoras, the naturalist and seer Empedocles, the oracular Heraclitus, or the inspired Parmenides, all shared an approach to critical thinking that, by questioning traditional viewpoints, revolutionized knowledge.A unique study that explores the full range of early Greek thinkers in the context of their worlds, the book also features a new introduction to the English edition in which the author discusses the latest scholarship on the subject.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. «Una rica y exuberante investigación sobre los orígenes del pensamiento filosófico en la cultura griega». New York Review of Books ¿Cómo podemos hablar hoy sobre los inicios de la filosofía? ¿Cómo evitar la tradicional oposición entre mito y logos y, en su lugar, explorar los múltiples estilos de pensamiento que surgieron entre ambos extremos? En este esclarecedor ensayo, Maria Michela Sassi reconstruye, mediante una exploración lúcida y detallista, el mundo intelectual de los presocráticos para ofrecer una comprensión matizada de las raíces de lo que más tarde se conocería como «el milagro griego». De Mileto a Elea, de Éfeso a Agrigento, Sassi comienza por las preguntas canónicas ?el cuándo y el cómo del origen del pensamiento, sus reflexiones en torno al orden cósmico, su naturaleza concreta y sus formas distintivas? para trazar la historia del saber arcaico y analizar, además, el ambiente de competencia intelectual, la descentralización geográfica y la adopción de una prosa más directa ?similar a la utilizada para redactar las leyes de la polis?; una prosa que permitió a los filósofos y científicos jonios ejercitarse sin circunloquios en la razón crítica, y así revolucionar definitivamente el conocimiento griego y, en última instancia, fundar la filosofía occidental. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
