The Western tradition of philosophy began in Greece with a cluster of
thinkers often called the Presocratics, whose influence has been
incalculable. They include the early Ionian cosmologists, Pythagoras,
Heraclitus, the Eleatics (Parmenides, Melissus, and Zeno), Empedocles,
Anaxagoras, the atomists and the sophists. All these thinkers are
discussed in this 1999 volume both as individuals and collectively in
chapters on rational theology, epistemology, psychology, rhetoric and
relativism, justice, and poetics. A chapter on causality extends the
focus to include historians and medical writers.
