19909289J. C. Gieben. 1990. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Dust-soiling to top of textblock. Some foxing to endpapers and DJ. Small closed tear 1cm to upper corner of DJ.; Philosophica Vol. 3; 521 pages; According to Aristotle philosophy had come into being in the VIth century with Thales just as a mere disinterested pursuit of truth a curiosity for great problems those eventually called "metaphysical" ones which were substantially identical with those which Aristotle himself and his school were now raising. This abstract reading is very similar to that which views Greek poets as inspired by "eternal beauty" or by "art's for art sake" and which is nowadays completely discredited and given up by scholars of the history of literature. Against this view the present text proposes a new reading of the "archaic" presocratic scientists: in fact it is about those "sages" who lived on the boundaries of the Greek-speaking world before the concentration of such people in Periclean Athens. They were closely linked to their native towns Miletus Ephesus Croto Vele Acragas where they held high office; here there oral teaching and the public reading of their texts were followed closely by their fellow citizens. Thus the picture of the "cosmic republic" arises: to the "cosmic monarchy" of Homer and Hesiod the mythical world with Zeus as the king gods as the ministers and nature as the subject a different mythical world succeeds. Here the earth the sea the sky the human body and generally the "existing thing" all behave like isonomic "republican" towns or like the governing body of these towns. Philosophy will arise later in Athens of the Vth century. . 9070265559 . J. C. Gieben hardcover

19903378Oxford Clarendon Press. 1990. Hardcover. Fine in Fine dust jacket. Dustjacket is protected in mylar.; 1.02 x 8.5 x 5.67 Inches; 264 pages; This book is the first detailed study of the foundation history government growth and decline of the cities founded in Syria by Seleukos I in 301BC shortly after the time of Alexander the Great. It throws new light on an important period in ancient history. In particular Dr Grainger concentrates on the relationship between the kings and the cities in their kingdoms and reveals that former theories concerning such a relationship require drastic revision. Most importantly the relationship is shown to have been much more to the kings' advantage than previous discussions on Hellenistic states have supposed. He argues in fact that neither the kings nor the cities intended the cities to be autonomous or independent since they were far too reliant on royal support against the enmity of the surrounding population. Evidence for this can be seen in the actions of the cities on the collapse of the Seleukid dynasty in the first century BC; then they were forced to cast about for a new protector and eventually accepted Rome albeit reluctantly. Dr Grainger discusses the differing fate of the cities during this process when some failed altogether most declined and only one Antioch prospered. . 0198146949 . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

199239009Cambridge University Press. 1992. Second Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Dustjacket has a couple of tiny tears. DJ spine is sunned. Pages very lightly tanned.; Volume V of the new edition of The Cambridge Ancient History encompasses the first Classic age of European civilization--the fifth century BC. This was the first and last period before the Romans in which great political and military power was located in the same place as cultural importance. This volume therefore is more narrowly focused geographically than its predecessors and successors and hardly strays beyond Greece. Athens is at the center of the picture both politically and culturally but events and achievements elsewhere are assessed as carefully as the nature of our sources allows. Two series of narrative chapters one on the growth of the Athenian empire and the development of Athenian democracy the other on the Peloponnesian War that brought them down are divided by a series of studies in which the artistic and literary achievements of the fifth century are described.; Cambridge Ancient History Series; 5; 6.5 X 2 X 9.25 inches; 620 pages . 052123347X .
