Is this the outcome of divine planning or simply of the laws of physics? Ancient Greeks and Romans famously disagreed on whether the cosmos was the product of design or accident. In this book, David Sedley examines this question and illuminates new historical perspectives on the pantheon of thinkers who laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Versions of what we call the "creationist" option were widely favored by the major thinkers of classical antiquity, including Plato, whose ideas on the subject prepared the ground for Aristotle's celebrated teleology. But Aristotle aligned himself with the anti-creationist lobby, whose most militant members--the atomists--sought to show how a world just like ours would form inevitably by sheer accident, given only the infinity of space and matter. This stimulating study explores seven major thinkers and philosophical movements enmeshed in the debate: Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Socrates, Plato, the atomists, Aristotle, and the Stoics. 410 0$aSather classical lectures ;$vv. 66. 410 0$aJoan Palevsky imprint in classical literature. 606 $aIntelligent design (Teleology) 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIntelligent design (Teleology) 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 676 $a213 700 $aSedley$b D.

Though possession by a dybbuk has traditionally been understood as punishment for a terrible sin, it can also be seen as a mechanism used by desperate individuals-often women-who had no other means of escape from the demands and expectations of an all-encompassing patriarchal social order.
