Reviews
"An elegant book of exemplary clarity." - Anglo-Hellenic Review "A very good explanation of the beginnings and developments in ancient Greek philosophy from which newcomers are sure to benefit. Wright's rich explanatory context can teach much to the student. It is well-written and thorough. Its discussions are often nuanced in a way to make themselves relevant to contemporary intellectual concerns." - Metapsychology An excellent introduction to early Greek philosophy by an acknowledged expert in the subject. The volume tells beginning students all they need to know about both the key themes and personalities in Greek philosophy and the historical and religious context in which it developed.A" - John Sellars, University of the West of England Ancient philosophy has become very specialised in recent publications and a volume of this kind, with its emphasis on the general and introductory, fills a gap. The presentation is clear and accessible, the selection of topics is well judged and the commentary is accurate and fair.A" - J. D. G. Evans, Queen's University of Belfast
