Abstract

This is a succinct yet remarkably incisive study of the complex interplay between language, and modes of thinking as observed in the surviving literature of classical Greece and the roughly contemporary corpus inherited from the age of Confucius in China. The aim of the volume is to identify some characteristics of the way we think - about ourselves and the world around us. These attitudes are not the inevitable furniture of the human mind. They are our inheritance from the Greeks.
