Subject: Unveiling the Legacy of Ancient Philosophy
This book is a very special publication in the context of the history of ancient philosophy. Cornford presented us with a great new horison of interpretation of the origins of Greek philosophy. The author not only shows us a new view but lets us to accompany him in this inquiry. "From Religion to Philosophy" is a fascinating book about the origins and continuity of human thought. It unveils before us the "great link" between religion and philosophy. Cornford's interpretation shows us ancient world as it was: full of spirits and gods, not all-rationalistic. Cornford allows us to see that this religious view was so natural for the Greeks that the origins of philosophy could not change it radically.
