About the book

This book is primarily intended for students of the humanities,
but will also be found helpful in self-education. It consists of three parts, each serving the common purpose of providing a systematic exposition of ancient philosophers’
teachings.
Part I outlines the history of the early period of Greek philosophy.
Part I I familiarises the reader with its classical period,
Part I I I gives a brief survey of the Hellenic-Roman philosophy.
The founders of Marxism have repeatedly pointed out the
outstanding historical role of ancient culture in general and
ancient philosophy in particular. ” The Greeks will for ever remain
our teachers . . . ” ‘ ” Recent philosophy has only continued
the work begun by Heraclitus and Aristotle. “2 Marx and Engels
continually underlined the creative originality of ancient
Greek philosophy which had been the first to rise to the level
of the rational world outlook. The main fervour of its materialist
trend was invariably directed towards explaining nature
from nature itself, from the laws inherent in matter.
The historical importance of Greek philosophy also derives
from its unique contribution to the development of dialectics.
The first naive form of materialism was simultaneo,usly
a spontaneous dialectical concept of the world.
The Greeks’ own history of philosophical ideas illustrates
the profound revolutionary role of materialism. This history
which has provided classical examples of antagonism between
1 Karl Marx, ” Notebooks on Epicurean Philosophy”, in : Karl Marx,
Frederick Engels, Collected Works, Progress Publishers, Moscow, Vol. materialism and idealism clearly revealed the inevitability of
the split of all philosophers in a class society inte two big
camps. Speaking of the age-old struggle between the two
philosophical lines and underlining a class, partisan character
of the ideological battles in Greek p hilosophy Lenin asked:
“Could the struggle between materialism and idealism, the
struggle between the tendencies or lines of Plato and Democritus
in philosophy . . . have become antiquated during the two
thousand years of the development of philosophy? ” 1
Greek philosophy is a grand monument of human culture.
Its manifold forms, wrote Engels, “contain in embryo, in the
nascent state, almost all later modes of outlook on the world. “
