In each case the early discussion seeks to show how certain ideas bore unexpected fruit during the subsequent development of philosophical thought. 410 0$aTopics in Ancient Philosophy / Themen der antiken Philosophie 606 $aLogos (Philosophy) 606 $aCosmology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLogos (Philosophy) 615 0$aCosmology. 676 $a113 700 $aRescher$b Nicholas$050144 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452895003321 996 $aCosmos and logos$92489957 997 $aUNINA
