Yet the importance of the Pre-Socratics thinkers lies less in their influence - great though that was - than in their astonishing intellectual ambition and imaginative reach. Zeno's dizzying 'proofs' that motion is impossible; the extraordinary atomic theories of Democritus; the haunting and enigmatic epigrams of Heraclitus; and the maxims of Alcmaeon: fragmentary as they often are, the thoughts of these philosophers seem strikingly modern in their concern to forge a truly scientific vocabulary and way of reasoning.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128397934750,"sku":"UBD-9780140448153","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140448153.jpg?v=1786540333","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140448153","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
