In fourth-century BCE Athens wisdom went from being viewed as an activity performed in practical and political contexts to being conceived in terms of theoria, or the wise man as a 'spectator' of truth. This 2004 book examines this fundamental development and the cultural conditions which influenced and illuminate it.
