A History of Greek Philosophy Vol I - WKC Guthrie. Softcover, 1979

The Earlier Presocratics and the Pythagoreans are the subjects of Vol I in the Series: A History of Greek Philosophy. The volume covers in detail the period from the Milesian school to the Pythagoreans and Heraclitus. The author discusses in turn the doctrines of Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes and shows how Pythagoras and his followers took the subject in a new direction, from the study of matter to the study of form.

Starting with the earliest Greek philosophers and continuing down to the present day, this book presents the chief figures, with a brief resumé of their lives and historical background and a succinct account of their philosophy. General comments sum up the philosophy of each period.
