Media Reviews
Greek Thought...has been compiled to capture the sheer intellectual exhilaration of Greek thought--to introduce its readers to that certain intensity of life among the Greeks which flourished because of their way of thinking about the world, and to suggest that this way of life should be no more confined to the study now than it was then.
