• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From the dawn of Western philosophy emerges a concept so profound that it shaped the very foundation of how we understand reality, knowledge, and ourselves: logos. This book takes readers on an illuminating journey through ancient Greece, tracing the evolution of logos from its humble beginnings as "word" and "speech" in Homeric tales, to its transformation into the universal principle of reason and cosmic order in the works of the Pre-Socratics, Plato, and Aristotle.

Discover how early thinkers wrestled with the chaos of existence to reveal an underlying harmonyhow logos became the bridge between myth and rational inquiry, shaping science, philosophy, politics, and theology. From the mathematical harmony of the Pythagoreans to Heraclitus' vision of a world in flux governed by reason, and from the dialectical debates of Socrates to Aristotle's groundbreaking logic and causality, this book offers a vivid and accessible exploration of the intellectual legacy that continues to define modern thought.

Whether you are a student of philosophy, a lover of history, or simply curious about the origins of reason, this book reveals how the ancient Greeks pioneered the idea of logosthe living, dynamic order behind the universeand how it remains a vital key to understanding our world today.
