Οι προσωκρατικοί. Οι μαρτυρίες και τα αποσπάσματα

by Hermann Diels, Βασίλειος Α. Κύρκος (Translator), Δημοσθένης Γ. Γεωργοβασίλης (Translator)

In 1903, Hermann Diels published the first edition of the collected fragments, which has since figured among the most important works of Classical philology. The work unites more than 400 major and minor authors who all contributed to the flowering of Greek intellectual life. The study of these original documents in itself makes possible an extensive investigation of the development of Greek thought. Therefore the present work offers a near-complete collection of the fragments, whose translations help to develop the student’s understanding of the text. In planning his work, Hermann Diel extended the understanding of philosophy in the ancient sense to include the natural sciences, especially mathematics.

previše Empedokla koji nije rekao apsolutno ništa korisno

Το βιβλίο "σταθμός" για όσους ενδιαφέρονται για την προσωκρατική φιλοσοφία. Ένα ανεκτίμητο έργο.
