{"product_id":"spectacles-of-truth-in-classical-andrea-wilson-nightingale-9780521117791","title":"Spectacles of Truth in Classical Greek Philosophy: Theoria in Its Cultural Context","description":"From being viewed as an activity performed in practical and political contexts, wisdom in fourth-century BC Athens came to be conceived in terms of theoria, or the wise man as a \"spectator\" of truth. This book examines how philosophers of the period articulated the new conception of knowledge and how cultural conditions influenced this development. It provides an interdisciplinary study of the attempts to conceptualize \"theoretical\" activity during a foundational period in the history of Western philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Wilson Nightingale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521117798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521117791\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 07\/30\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.73d","brand":"Andrea Wilson Nightingale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919978299647,"sku":"9780521117791","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_314c83b1-c8c2-40d3-80a0-de59985ca334.jpg?v=1680812961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spectacles-of-truth-in-classical-andrea-wilson-nightingale-9780521117791","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
