Greek Philosophy and Epistemology, Vol. I

BOUDOURIS K. (Ed.), GREEK PHILOSOPHY AND EPISTEMOLOGY, VOL. I, IONIA PUBLICATIONS, ATHENS 2000, pp. 256

The papers included in the present volume represent texts presented at the Twelfth International Conference on Greek Philosophy. The topics discussed in the texts of all three volumes on Greek Philosophy and Epistemology (two in English and one in Greek) cover a wide range of epistemological issues. The authors of the papers deal with the concept of knowledge, opinion and truth in Xenophanes, Heraclitus and Parmenides and generally in Presocratic thought. They discuss aspects of Plato's, Aristotle's and post-Aristotelian epistemology and relate their investigations to contemporary epistemological conceptions. The papers will be useful to philosophers, epistemologists, classicists and of course to specialists in Greek philosophy.

The articles in the present volume should be studied in conjunction with the papers contained in the Second Volume of Greek Philosophy and Epistemology (Athens, 2001). Book cover
