Through criticism and analysis of ancient traditions, Kahn reconstructs the pattern of Anaximander's thought using historical methods akin to the reconstructive techniques of comparative linguists.

A fascinating portrait of the Pythagorean tradition, including a substantial account of the Neo-Pythagorean revival, and ending with Johannes Kepler on the threshold of modernism.

In this series of essays published over forty years Charles Kahn explicates the ancient Greek concept of Being. His linguistic aim of explaining the meaning of the verb einai is intertwined with his historical and philosophical project of understanding how the concept came to be central to Greek philosophy from Parmenides to Aristotle.

Con questo volume Charles H. Kahn mette radicalmente in discussione una serie di 'luoghi comuni' molto diffusi nell'ermeneutica dei testi platonici. Il primo è la lettura evolutiva dei dialoghi. Kahn mostra come la filosofia platonica presenti alcuni elementi teorici di fondo cui Platone resta fedele nel corso di tutta la sua vita.
