Exploring fundamental issues in early Greek thought, this volume presents six studies that examine cosmic evaluation in Anaximander, the theory of opposites from Pre-Socratics to Plato and Aristotle, and thought experimentation among Pre-Socratics. It also investigates the origins of Greek Scepticism with the Sophists, the prehistory of "Buridan's Ass" speculation, and the significance of esthesis in Aristotle's scientific theory. Each study reveals how these early ideas influenced the evolution of philosophical thought in unexpected ways.
