"It has been said that after the Bible Plato's dialogues are the most influential books in Western culture. Of these the Symposium is by far the most delightful and accessible requiring no special knowledge of philosophy or Greek society. Describing a party in the Athens of the fifth century BC this short and deceptively unassuming book introduces profound ideas about the nature of love in the guise of convivial after-dinner conversation. Published together with the Symposium is Phaedrus in which Plato discusses the place of eloquence in expounding truth. Socrates plays the leading role in both dialogues by turns arguing joking and teasing his followers into understanding ideas that have remained central to Western thought ever since.

London: Routledge and Kegan Paul 1956. 4th pr. Hardcover. Hardcover dark blue cloth with gilt lettering on spine 376 pages. A cosmology is a narrative concerning the creation of the universe. Many ancient philosophers have written or elaborated this kind of work. The Platonic dialogue Timeus is an account of the work of the creator god called the demiurge - or artisan sculpting the chaotic material world in accordance with the immaterial model of the Ideas. But the text was written in a very hermetic and symbolic language making its interpretation difficult or even impossible without the knowledge of the references and symbols used by Plato. This book is a complete translation of the text followed by a comprehensive commentary explaining in detail every passage. Francis MacDonald Cornford is one of the most important ancient philosophy scholars and this work reveals his deep knowledge of Platonic and Greek thought. It is a must have for anyone interested in greek and Platonic philosophy.Two name stamps on prelim pages otherwise clean. Record # 386862 Routledge and Kegan Paul hardcover

Paperback / softback. New. Kurt Goedel 1906-1978 shook the mathematical world in 1931 by a result that has become an icon of 20th century science: The search for rigour in proving mathematical theorems had led to the formalization of mathematical proofs to the extent that such proving could be reduced to the application of a few mechanical rules. paperback
