The Biblical heritage is generally recognized as vital to the development and guidance of Western Civilization as we know it.

ISBN: 9780821411841 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 419 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In an attempt to subject representative texts of a dozen ancient authors to a more or less Socratic inquiry, the noted scholar George Anastaplo suggests in The Thinker as Artist how one might usefully read as well as enjoy such texts, which illustrate the thinking done by the greatest artists and how they talk among themselves across the centuries. In doing so, he does not presume to repeat the many fine things said about these and like authors, but rather he discusses what he himself has noticed about them, text by text. Drawing upon a series of classical authors ranging from Homer and...
