摘要：James Warren’s Presocratics is the latest instalment in Acumen’s introductory series on Ancient Philosophies. The aim of this series is to provide students of both the classics and philosophy with foundational books on various aspects of ancient thought. previous instalment, Stoicism by John Sellars (Acumen 2006), certainly managed to fulfil this aim and Warren has not strayed far from the objective of the series. The book fulfils all the functional requirements as an introductory text, including a chronology and a guide to further reading. There is very little in this work that could be considered controversial and it includes no major reinterpretations of Presocratic thought. This, however, works entirely in Warren’s favour. Warren’s method is to put forward, in the simplest terms possible, the central claims of a number of Presocratic thinkers.t
