520 1  "Retrieving the Ancients tells the story of the first 
       philosophers in the West. Beginning with Thales, who 
       correctly predicted an eclipse in 585 BC, and culminating 
       in a discussion of the works of Aristotle, who died in 322
       BC, Roochnik's work provides a clear and engaging 
       introduction to one of the most fertile periods in the 
       history of human thought." "The author approaches the 
       history of Greek philosophy as an unfolding conversation, 
       with the key thinkers engaged with and responding to their
       predecessors. Roochnik demonstrates the abiding relevance 
       of this conversation to the modern reader. In retrieving 
       the ancients, he argues, we help to illuminate ourselves."
