{"product_id":"money-and-the-early-greek-richard-seaford-9780521539920","title":"Money and the Early Greek Mind: Homer, Philosophy, Tragedy","description":"How were the Greeks of the sixth century BC able to invent philosophy and tragedy? Richard Seaford argues that a large part of the answer can be found in another momentous development, the invention and rapid spread of coinage. By transforming social relations, monetization contributed to the concepts of the universe as an impersonal system (fundamental to Presocratic philosophy) and of the individual alienated from his own kin and from the gods, as found in tragedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Seaford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521539927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521539920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.18w x 0.91d","brand":"Richard Seaford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920029090047,"sku":"9780521539920","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_17913558-fc82-4804-a995-17e774b372bc.jpg?v=1680813202","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/money-and-the-early-greek-richard-seaford-9780521539920","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
