• catalog abstract ""Retrieving the Ancients tells the story of the first philosophers in the West. Beginning with Thales, who correctly predicted an eclipse in 585 BC, and culminating in a discussion of the works of Aristotle, who died in 322 BC, Roochnik's work provides a clear and engaging introduction to one of the most fertile periods in the history of human thought." "The author approaches the history of Greek philosophy as an unfolding conversation, with the key thinkers engaged with and responding to their predecessors. Roochnik demonstrates the abiding relevance of this conversation to the modern reader. In retrieving the ancients, he argues, we help to illuminate ourselves."--Jacket.".
