Reviews

Extraordinarily rigorous and detailed in its research, this book provides an exciting new perspective on the origins of philosophy in ancient Greece. -Richard Bett, Johns Hopkins University Providing a novel account of the emergence of philosophy as a practice from the early fifth century through Aristotle, this book is set to become a central reference on early Greek thought. -Joshua Billings, Princeton University


This fascinating scholarly book is a breakthrough study about the origins of the term philosopher in Ancient Greece. * Paradigm Explorer * What does a philosophos do and what is a philosophos anyway? Christopher Moore explores these questions in his intriguing book, examining the history of the word philosophos and considering the development of the discipline that came to be known as philosophia. . . . Moore's is a rich and stimulating study of an overlooked subject, and very welcome. ---Patricia Curd, Journal of the History of Philosophy Moore operates at the highest levels of honest philological precision: nothing is swept under the rug of abstraction, every case - indeed every single occurrence of the word group - is picked apart. Meticulous attention to textual evidence, one eye on the apparatus criticus, brightens each page. ---Richard P. Martin, Polis
