Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 2011 Cambridge University Press hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: #This book examines the conceptual and temporal frames through which modern Western historiography has linked itself to classical antiquity. In doing so, it articulates a genealogical problematic of what history is and a more strictly focused reappraisal of Greek and Roman historical thought. Ancient ideas of history have played a key role in modern debates about history writing, from Kant through Hegel to Nietzsche and Heidegger, and from Friedrich Creuzer through George Grote and Theodor Mommsen to Momigliano and Moses Finley; yet scholarship has paid little attention to the theoretical implications of the reception of these ideas. The essays in this collection cover a wide range of relevant topics and approaches and boast distinguished authors from across Europe in the fields of classics, ancient and modern history and the theory of historiography.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive study of the life and thought of John Locke, one of the most influential philosophers of the 17th century. The book traces Locke's journey from his early life in rural England to his time as a student at Oxford, his medical studies, and his eventual emergence as a leading figure in the intellectual and political landscape of his time. The author draws on Locke's extensive writings, including his seminal work, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, to explore his groundbreaking ideas on the nature of knowledge, the limits of human reason, and the foundations of morality and political society. The book examines the enduring legacy of Locke's empiricism, his contributions to the development of modern science and philosophy, and his profound influence on subsequent generations of thinkers.
