A critical history of Greek philosophy
Produced by Don Kostuch
"A Critical History of Greek Philosophy" by W. T. Stace is a comprehensive examination of the foundational ideas of Greek philosophy written in the early 20th century. This analytical work explores the origins and developments of philosophical thought in ancient Greece, making it a suitable reading for both general readers and those interested in philosophy. Stace aims to elucidate complex philosophical concepts while linking them to the historical evolution of thought, providing insights into how these ideas shaped future philosophies. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exploration of Greek philosophy, beginning with an inquiry into the nature of philosophy itself. Stace discusses the difficulties in defining philosophy and emphasizes its overarching aim to understand the universe as a whole, as opposed to specialized scientific disciplines. He highlights the importance of asking fundamental questions, detailing how Greek philosophers attempted to explain the cosmos without reliance on myth or superstition. This section serves not just as an introduction to the subject matter of Greek philosophy, but also establishes Stace's objective to connect the historical significance of these philosophical ideas with their lasting relevance in today’s intellectual landscape.
