Reviews
"Anyone who has got his feet wet in the study of ancient philosophy knows that the later hilosophical period one works in, the greater the need is for intimate familiarity with its earlier stages. Since Presocratic philosophy is standardly considered the formative stage of ancient philosophy, Stamatellos' Introduction to Presocratics offers the best kind of "happy marriage" in which his expertise, as the author of the aforementioned programmatic study of Presocratic presence in Plotinus' thought, places him in the auspicious position of sharing his knowledge of the earliest and latest stages of ancient philosophy. In such introduction, the stakes are high and the book meets them." ( The International Journal of the Platonic Tradition , 1 January 2013) "'...A very good introductory guide for the general public and an invaluable resource for philosophy lecturers struggling to enthuse their undergraduate students." ( Classical Review , 1 April 2014) "Writing an introduction to any subject is a difficult task. Stamatellos does do an admirable job of lucidly explaining alien concepts to the novice. There were frequent moments in reading the book when I wished that I had first approached a topic as Stamatellos presents it." ( Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 1 December 2012)

Great price, 56 year old hard back book in Extraordinary Condition. Two beefs: Description: "the binding is a little loose" means Cover is completely torn away from inside first page retainer. Undisclosed BIG BLACK MARKER "X" ON TITLE PAGE that any fair-minded individual would provide image of. The price, age, condition make it all go away, mostly. Buyers Beware.
