Detienne, Marcel: The Masters of Truth in Archaic Greece

Foreword by Pierre Vidal-Naquet. Translated (from French) by Janet Lloyd. The acclaimed French classicist Marcel Detienne's book traces the odyssey of "truth," aletheia, from mytho-religious concept to philosophical thought in archaic Greece. Detienne begins by examining how truth in Greek literature first emerges as an enigma. He then looks at the movement from a religious to a secular thinking about truth in the speech of the sophists and orators. His study culminates with an original interpretation of Parmenides' poem on Being. 231 Seiten, Leinen (Zone Books 1996) textsauber, mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren, Stempel auf Fußschnitt/clean text pages, minor traces of use, stamp on bottom cut
