文档介绍：Ancilla to the Pre-Socratic Philosophers
by Kathleen Freeman
As our soul, being air, holds us together, so do breath and air surround the whole universe.--Anaximenes of Miletus, only surviving fragment (p. 19)
This is a translation of nearly every scrap of the writings of the Greek Pre-Socratic Philosophers, from the nearly legendary Orpheus, through Thales, Pythagoras, Heracleitus, Zeno, and Democritus. Included are translations of all known quotations from each writer, names of lost books they wrote, what other authors said about their beliefs, as well as spurious and dubious quotes. Some of the entries, indeed most, are very short, as we only know the names and a bit of biography for some of these figures. This book is a great reference for this topic, and makes fascinating reading.
