The Presocratic Philosophers. - KIRK, G.S. and J.E. RAVEN,

KORTE INHOUD

'This will inevitably be the standard work by which all serious students whose language is English will be initiated into the strange worlds of the Presocratics. The work is excellently done and vast masses of detailed scholarship are handled and presented in such a way that difficulties are neither concealed nor allowed to hide the main outlines of an endlessly fascinating story. Despite the immense complication of the material the book can be read straight through, though no one would pretend that it is easy going. It is built about some 600 passages in Greek and translation.' (G.B. KERFERD in The Classical Review (New Series), 1959, pp.119-20).
