Spectacles of Truth in Classical Greek Philosophy: Theoria in its Cultural Context
Nightingale, Andrea Wilson (Stanford University, California)
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.
