Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Pherecydis Fragmenta presents a collection of the surviving fragments attributed to Pherecydes of Syros, a pre-Socratic Greek thinker from the 6th century BCE. Written in Latin, this compilation offers invaluable insights into Pherecydes' cosmological and theological ideas, which bridge the gap between mythological accounts and early philosophical speculation. Pherecydes is often considered one of the first prose writers and a significant influence on later philosophers, including Pythagoras. This edition provides scholars and students with essential source material for understanding the development of Western thought and the transition from myth to reason in ancient Greece. The fragments, though scarce, reveal a unique vision of the universe and the gods, marking Pherecydes as a pivotal figure in the history of philosophy.
