The Politics of Ideas

By Deepak

This book explores how the ideas of pre-Socratic philosophers were reconstructed through the often unreliable interpretations of later thinkers like Plato and Aristotle. It examines how these figures may have reshaped early philosophical thought to suit their agendas, offering a fresh perspective on the transmission of ancient philosophy. By questioning the authenticity of surviving texts, the book encourages readers to reconsider the true essence of early philosophical teachings, highlighting the challenges of reconstructing history from incomplete records.
