Classical Greek Foundations

This volume introduces the ideas that shaped centuries of inquiry into meaning, virtue, and human life. Rather than an assortment of texts, Classical Greek Foundations offers a coherent selection of dialogues and writings — from Plato’s foundational arguments to Aristotle’s explorations of character and Herodotus’ early histories — with the thoughtful context you need before you begin reading.

Designed for readers who want understanding before consumption, this edition equips you to see how these early thinkers grappled with questions that still matter today.
