Francis Macdonald Cornford Libri
Francis Cornford fu un classicista britannico che si discostò dall'approccio filologico tradizionale allo studio dell'antichità. Insieme a studiosi di idee affini a Cambridge, si concentrò sullo svelare i pensieri e i miti sottostanti che hanno plasmato la Grecia classica. Le sue opere esplorarono le profonde radici del pensiero e della filosofia occidentali, enfatizzando spesso il legame tra religione e pensiero speculativo. Attraverso le sue influenti pubblicazioni, contribuì a rimodellare la nostra comprensione della mitologia, della filosofia e della commedia antiche, e la sua opera satirica continua a parodiare il sistema accademico fino ad oggi.
