ref. B9780300024753Hardback. New. One of the most important Presocratic philosophers was the Sicilian Empedocles. He presented his work in the form of two hexameter poems of which about 450 lines are extant revealing a formidable range of interests acute observation and a firm grasp of fundamental issues in the study of man and nature. Empedocles’ theory of four elements was crucial to later developments in science and medicine. He showed how forces of attraction and repulsion acted on the elements within a framework of cyclical time and limited space and initiated or advanced major discoveries in astronomy biology and physiology. More sophisticated concepts of divinity personality and mortality replaced traditional mythology and these concepts were founded on the conviction that the individual has control over his own character and intellectual growth. The introduction discusses Empedocles’ life and interests the content of the Physics and Katharmoi and the relation of the two poems to each other. A new Greek text with apparatus is followed by translation commentary and detailed concordance to give a comprehensive edition of this key figure in the history of ideas. “With its careful and judicious editing of the fragments and its many fresh insights into Empedocles’ thought this work will be indispensable to students of Presocratic philosophy.”—Alexander P.D. Mourelatos hardcover
