Descripción hardcover. Condición: new. First Edition. This book is the scholarly fully annotated edition of the awardwinning The Illustrated To Think Like GodTo Think Like God focuses on the emergence of philosophy as a speculative science tracing its origins to the Greek colonies of Southern Italy from the late 6th century to mid5th century BC Special attention is paid to the sage Pythagoras and his movement the poet Xenophanes of Colophon and the lawmaker Parmenides of Elea In their own ways each thinker held that true insight whether as wisdom or certainty belonged not to mortal human beings but to the godsThe Pythagoreans sought to approach this otherwordly knowledge by studying numerical relationships believing them to govern the universe and that those who know the number of a thing know its true nature Yet their quest was a hopeless one bogged down by cultism numerology political conspiracies bloody uprisings and exile Above all number did not turn out as the most reliable of mediums it was certainly not a key to the realm of the divine Thus their contributions to philosophys inception while much betterpublicized was not the most significant That particular role was reserved for an unusual challenge and the elaborate reaction it provokedThe challenge came from Xenophanes who had argued that reliable truth was beyond mortal reach because even if by accident a human being should state what is exactly the case he had no way of knowing that he did all things being susceptible to opinionThis dilemma is sure to have bothered a legislative mind like that of Parmenides and we find him introducing techniques for testing the veracity of statements These methods were meant to be carried out by reasoning and argument alone without relying in physical evidence or mortal senseperception which was deemed untrustworthy Reason was that one faculty shared by gods and humans alike In time Parmenides ingenious arguments have earned him the titled of the first logician and metaphysician whose influence on subsequent thinkers was immeasurable Parmenides taught us that philosophy was not about claims but about proof which also makes him the father of theoretical science which curiously began as a quest into the mind of GodArnold Hermann makes a genuine contribution to Presocratics Parmenides studies This book which is both an introduction to Pythagoras and Parmenides and a scholarly study will interest novices and experts alike Hermanns multileveled approach and his careful analyses of alternate views make his work a useful teaching tool while his systematic inquiry into Pythagoreanism the poem of Parmenides and the development of early Greek thought will well repay the attention of scholars Patricia CurdPurdue UniversityTo Think Like God is a highly ambitious book Hermanns approach deserves to be taken seriously as an alternative to standard interpretations Richard D McKirahan JrEdwin Clarence Norton Professor of Classics and Professor of Philosophy Pomona CollegeArnold Hermann brings fresh life into the specialists debates a blow of wind that dissipates much fog Walter Burkert Professor Emeritus of Classical Philology University of ZurichARNOLD HERMANN is pursuing independent research on the origins of philosophy and methods of thinking He specialices on subjects connected with Parmenides and Platos Parmenides.
