The Masters Of Truth In Archaic Greece by Marcel Detienne, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The acclaimed French classicist Marcel Detienne's first book traces the odyssey of "truth," aletheia, from mytho-religious concept to philosophical thought in archaic Greece.

His study culminates with an original interpretation of Parmenides' poem on Being. | The Masters Of Truth In Archaic Greece by Marcel Detienne, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
