In each case the early discussion seeks to show how certain ideas bore unexpected fruit during the subsequent development of philosophical thought.Topics in Ancient Philosophy / Themen der antiken PhilosophieLogos (Philosophy)CosmologyLogos (Philosophy)Cosmology.113Rescher Nicholas50144MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821593603321Cosmos and logos4005694UNINA
