  Informed by a hermeneutic perspective, this title presents a survey of the Pre-Socratic thinkers, the contexts from which they emerged and their influence. It calls into question a longstanding mythology that the 'Pre-Socratics had the grandiose audacity to break with all traditional forms of knowledge' (Badiou).
