Features: Based on the methodological principle of consistency between logic and history, this book provides an in-depth and systematic exposition of the entire process of the emergence, evolution, and decline of ancient Greek philosophy from the 6th century BC to the closure of the "Athens Schools" in 529 AD. It offers unique insights into the discussions of important philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, particularly in the case of Socrates and Plato. The emphasis on the speculative characteristics and humanistic content of ancient Greek philosophical thought, the portrayal of its intrinsic connection with science and theology, and the focus on examining ancient Greek philosophy through the lens of world and modern philosophy are key features that distinguish this book from other specialized works.
