Product Description

Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (circa. 500 B.C.-428 B.C.) was reportedly the first Presocratic philosopher to settle in Athens. He was a friend of Pericles and his ideas are reflected in the works of Sophocles and Aristophanes. Anaxagoras asserted that Mind is the ordering principle of the cosmos, he explained solar eclipses, and he wrote on a myriad of astronomical, meteorological, and biological phenomena. His metaphysical claim that everything is in everything and his rejection of the possibility of coming to be or passing away are fundamental to all his other views. Because of his philosophical doctrines, Anaxagoras was condemned for impiety and exiled from Athens.

This volume presents all of the surviving fragments of Anaxagoras' writings, both the Greek texts and original facing-page English translations for each. Generously supplemented, it includes detailed annotations, as well as five essays that consider the philosophical and interpretive questions raised by Anaxagoras. Also included are new translations of the ancient testimonia concerning Anaxagoras' life and work, showing the importance of the philosopher and his ideas for his contemporaries and successors.

This is a much-needed and highly anticipated examination of Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, one of the forerunners of Greek philosophical and scientific thought.

5-0 out of 5 stars Absolute "must-have" for classic Greek philosophy and college library shelves.
Anaxagoras of Clazomenae: Fragments and Testimonia collects all the surviving fragments of the writings of the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (circa 500 B.C. - 428 B.C.), both in their original Greek text and modern English translation, supplemented with extensive annotation as well as five essays that ponder the philosophical and interpretive questions Anaxagoras raised. Anaxagoras himself was a friend of Pericles; his concepts would later be reflected in the works of Sophocles and Aristophanes. Among Anaxagoras' assertions were the concept that the Mind is the ordering principle of the cosmos; that everything is in everything; and that the possibilities of coming to be or passing away should be refuted. He explained solar eclipses and wrote at length about astronomical, meteorological, and biological phenomena. His philosophical doctrines led to his exile from Athens, for the transgression of impiety. A list of sources, bibliography, and general index round out this absolute "must-have" for classic Greek philosophy and college library shelves.
