內容簡介

本書着重嚴格而清晰的分析，對厭倦了教科書式的表述方式的讀者來説是相當有益的讀物。無論是對思想史感興趣的普通讀者，還是專業學者，都會從中汲取到知識和靈感。

Sir Anthony Kenny here tells the fascinating story of the birth of philosophy and its remarkable flourishing in the ancient Mediterranean world. This is the initial volume of a four-book set in which Kenny will unfold a magisterial new history of Western philosophy, the first major single-author history of philosophy to appear in decades.

Ancient Philosophy spans over a thousand years and brings to life the great minds of the past, from Thales, Pythagoras, and Parmenides, to Socrates, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Augustine. The book's great virtue is that it is written by one of the world's leading authorities on the subject. Instead of an uncritical, straightforward recitation of known facts--Plato and his cave of shadows, Aristotle's ethics, Augustine's City of God--we see the major philosophers through the eyes of a man who has spent a lifetime contemplating their work. Thus we do not simply get an overview of Aristotle, for example, but a penetrating and insightful critique of his thought. Kenny offers an illuminating account of the various schools of thought, from the Pre-Socratics to the Epicureans. He examines the development of logic and reason, ancient ideas about physics ("how things happen"), metaphysics and ethics, and the earliest thinking about the soul and god.

Vividly written, but serious and deep enough to offer a genuine understanding of the great philosophers, Kenny's lucid and stimulating history will become the definitive work for anyone interested in the people and ideas that shaped the course of Western thought.

安東尼·肯尼爵士在這裏講述了哲學誕生及其在古代地中海世界蓬勃發展的迷人故事。這是一本四本書集的初始書，其中肯尼將揭開西方哲學史上權威性的新歷史，這是幾十年來出現的第一本主要的單著者哲學史。

古代哲學跨越一千多年的歷史，從泰勒斯（Thales），畢達哥拉斯（Pythagoras）和帕門尼德斯（Parmenides）到蘇格拉底，埃皮克提圖斯（Epictetus），馬庫斯·奧雷留斯（Marcus Aurelius）和奧古斯丁（Augustine），都使過去的偉大思想得以實現。這本書的優點在於，它是由世界的權威機構之一撰寫的。與其對柏拉圖和他的影子之洞，亞里士多德的倫理學，奧古斯丁的上帝之城的已知事實進行不加批判，直接的敍述，我們通過一個一生都在思考自己工作的人的眼中看到主要的哲學家。因此，例如，我們不僅獲得亞里士多德的概述，還包括對他的思想的深刻而有見地的批評。肯尼（Kenny）闡明瞭從前蘇格拉底主義者到伊壁鳩魯派的各種思想流派。我研究了邏輯和理性的發展，

肯尼的文字生動活潑，但認真而深刻，足以對偉大的哲學家提供真正的理解，對於那些對塑造西方思想進程的人和思想感興趣的人來説，肯尼的清晰和令人振奮的歷史將成為權威著作。
