Anastaplo, George The Thinker As Artist : From Homer to Plato and Aristotle
Athens, Ohio Ohio Univ Press 1997 0821411845 / 9780821411841 First Trade Paperback Soft Cover New 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
New trade paperback book, no dust jacket (as issued); book is still sealed in publisher's original, unopened shrink-wrap; 404 pages including index and bibliography; printed on acid-free paper. "In their great texts, ancient authors talk among themselves across the centuries. The noted scholar George Anastaplo makes this conversation audible for readers (of this book) in his Socratic inquiry into representative texts of a dozen ancient authors." Looking at classic texts from such writers as Homer, Sapho, Euripides, Thucydides, Aristophanes, and eight other well-known ancient writers, the author discusses how the modern reader might read and enjoy such texts. He also discusses what "he himself has noticed text-by-text as he examines issues relating to chance, art, nature, and divinity...An imaginative yet disciplined discussion of matters that have always engaged thoughtful human beings. It will appeal to both the specialist and the general reader." (Quoted material from book cover)
