Book Synopsis The First Philosophers by : Robin Waterfield

Book excerpt: These first philosophers paved the way for the work of Plato and Aristotle - and hence for the whole of Western thought.

Waterfield brings together the works of these early thinkers with brilliant new translation and exceptional commentary. This is the ideal anthology for the student of this increasingly appreciated field of classical philosophy.
