Description
The brand new and revolutionizing ideas which the early Greek thinkers developed concerning the nature of the universe had a right away have an effect on upon their conception of what they referred to as, in a new sense, ‘God’ or ‘the Divine.’ The history of the philosophical theology of the Greeks is thus the history in their rational way to the nature of reality itself in its successive phases. The late Professor Jaeger’s classic book traces this development from the first intimations in Hesiod of the theology that used to be to come back, throughout the heroic age of Greek cosmological thought, down to the time of the Sophists of the fifth century B.C.
