[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very well-written and lucid history of pre-Socratic philosophy. Even some fantastically idiotic remarks—one being the comparison of "old-fashioned", "bigoted" superstitions that hampered "untrammeled scientific and philosophic investigation" in Athens to the author's own time's still strong "belief in the superiority of American ideals" (liberty, justice, and self-governance he has in mind, I suppose?)—do not detract from the otherwise balanced exposition.

Writes with self-evident passion. Has a firm mastery of the subject matter, which translates into an enjoyable, edifying read. Could not recommend enough for anyone interested in Greek Philosophy - read all 3 volumes.

Wow!! Never knew Pythagores was a mathematician, architect, teacher and philosopher!!! To think that Socrates / Plato / Aristotle and so many of them thought so much about society so many years ago.. Amazing!

Enjoyed on kindle!

A great work by BAG. Fuller. His 'A History of Philosophy' is also a great work that introduces the works of great thinkers.
