About this book
Greek thought before Socrates is surveyed in John Burnet's study, which first appeared in 1892 and was largely rewritten for this second edition of 1908. Burnet, then professor of Greek at St Andrews, drew on new evidence, above all extracts from Menon's medical writings, which he took as a clue to the history of Pythagoreanism. He departs from Zeller at points while saying he follows the path Zeller opened, and he cites the Ritter and Preller collection of sources throughout. Thinkers treated include Thales, Heraclitus, Parmenides and Empedocles.
