Sommario/riassunto |
|
Early Greek Thought calls into question a longstanding mythology - operative in both the Analytic and Continental traditions - that the Pre-Socratics had the grandiose audacity to break with all traditional forms of knowledge' (Badiou). Each of the variants of this mythology will be dismantled in an attempt to not only retrieve an indigenous' interpretation of early Greek thought, but also to expose the mythological character of our own contemporary meta-narratives |
