{"product_id":"a-new-perspective-on-antisthenes-piet-meijer-9789462982987","title":"A New Perspective on Antisthenes: Logos, Predicate and Ethics in His Philosophy","description":"Antisthenes (c. 445- c. 365 BC), was a prominent follower of Socrates and bitter rival of Plato. In this revisionary account of his philosophy in all its aspects, P. A. Meijer claims that Plato and Aristotle have corrupted our perspective on this witty and ingenious thinker. The first part of the book reexamines afresh Antisthenes' ideas about definition and predication and concludes from these that Antisthenes never held the (in)famous theory that contradiction is impossible. The second part of the book argues that Antisthenes' logical theories bear directly on his activities as an exegete of Homer and hence as a theological thinker. Part three, finally, offers innovative readings of Antisthenes' ethical fragments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Piet Meijer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462982988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462982987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Piet Meijer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48137016475903,"sku":"9789462982987","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7adee4b9-8a5c-43bf-9540-0443b1bab02d.jpg?v=1770165984","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-new-perspective-on-antisthenes-piet-meijer-9789462982987","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
