Oxford University Press - The First Philosophers The Presocratics And Sophists - Paperback Furniture & Furnishings Manufacture Barcode: 4251648411642Binding: Paperback Description: The first philosophers paved the way for the work of Plato and Aristotle and hence for the whole of Western thought. Aristotle said that philosophy begins with wonder and the first Western philosophers developed theories of the world which express simultaneously their sense of wonder and their intuition that the world should be comprehensible. But their enterprise was by no means limited to this proto scientific task.
