by Thomas Yaeger ...

The argument that the discipline of philosophy was not invented by the Greeks, but was in existence elsewhere, and as far back as the middle of the second millennium B.C.E., has been gaining traction over recent years.

Understanding Ancient Thought

by Thomas Yaeger ...

There are many puzzling things about the ancient world, since those who peopled that world lived and thought within quite different models of reality. Why did they practice the sacrifice of animals? Why did they think they could understand the future by examining the entrails and the liver of a ram? What was the logic beneath the practice of magic? Other questions are equally problematic to answer ... Read more

by Thomas Yaeger ...

When he was only twenty-four years old, James Frazer won a Cambridge fellowship with an essay on the development of Plato's theory of the Forms or Ideas (eidos). In this essay he argued that there was no overarching theory of Being in Plato's mind before he embarked on the writing of his dialogues, and that consequently differences in approach and discussion apparent in his work are the result of ...

Plato: The Trial and Death of Socrates

The Apology of Socrates by Plato is the earliest work by him that we have—meaning that it is quite literally the oldest surviving document of Greek philosophy we have. Everything earlier was lost and is known only through quoted fragments in later works, like those of Plato himself. Socrates substantially refounded philosophy, and the Apology is still, by itself, perhaps the finest introduction to ... Read more
