This new systematic conception and presentation of the  evidence differs in three ways from Hermann Diels’s groundbreaking work,  as well as from later editions: it renders explicit the material’s  thematic organization; it includes a selection from such related bodies  of evidence as archaic poetry, classical drama, and the Hippocratic  corpus; and it presents an overview of the reception of these thinkers  until the end of antiquity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Volume I contains introductory and reference materials essential for using all other parts of the edition.\u003cbr\u003eVolume  II presents preliminary chapters on ancient doxography, the  cosmological and moral background, and includes the early Ionian  thinkers Pherecydes, Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes.\u003cbr\u003eVolume III includes the early Ionian thinkers Xenophanes and Heraclitus.\u003cbr\u003eVolume  IV presents Pythagoras and the Pythagorean School, including Hippasus,  Philolaus, Eurytus, Archytas, Hicetas, and Ecphantus, along with  chapters on doctrines not attributed by name and reception.\u003cbr\u003eVolume V includes the western Greek thinkers Parmenides, Zeno, Melissus, Empedocles, Alcmaeon, and Hippo.\u003cbr\u003eVolume  Vi includes the later Ionian and Athenian thinkers Anaxagoras,  Archelaus, and Diogenes of Apollonia, along with chapters on early Greek  medicine and the Derveni Papyrus.\u003cbr\u003eVolume VII includes the atomists Leucippus and Democritus.\u003cbr\u003eVolume  VIII includes the so-called sophists Protagoras, Gorgias, Prodicus,  Thrasymachus, and Hippias, along with testimonia relating to the life,  views, and argumentative style of Socrates.\u003cbr\u003eVolume IX includes the so-called sophists Antiphon, Lycophron, and Xeniades, along with the Anonymous of Iamblichus, the \u003ci\u003eDissoi Logoi\u003c\/i\u003e, a chapter on characterizations of the ‘sophists’ as a group, and an appendix on philosophy and philosophers in Greek drama.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54213076025688,"sku":null,"price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780674996540.jpg?v=1779174961","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/early-greek-philosophy-volume-i-introductory-and-reference-materials","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
