Knowing and Being in Ancient Philosophy

Description

Knowing and Being in Ancient Philosophy offers an in-depth study of the fundamental relationship between epistemology (knowing) and metaphysics (being) in ancient philosophical thought. The book investigates how early philosophers approached questions about truth, reality, knowledge, and existence, laying the groundwork for Western philosophy.

Drawing on the works of Plato, Aristotle, the Presocratics, and later Hellenistic thinkers, this volume examines key concepts such as substance, form, causality, perception, intellect, and the nature of truth. It highlights how ancient philosophical traditions understood the connection between what exists and how it can be known, revealing enduring debates that remain central to contemporary philosophy.

Combining close textual analysis with historical and conceptual insight, Knowing and Being in Ancient Philosophy is an essential resource for students, scholars, and readers interested in classical philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, and the intellectual foundations of Western thought.
