Gerhard Rauche wrote A Student’s Key to Ancient Greek Thought to guide new university students in their studies of early Greek philosophy. The ancient Greeks are portrayed as the main inspiration of Western philosophy, science and culture.
The book’s purpose is to provide newcomers with a key to unlock the mysteries that usually shroud references to ancient mythology, philosophy, science and literature.
It was effectively used over three decades to introduce this fascinating topic to thousands of young university students in South Africa, at various institutions of tertiary education.
??? Our Consciousness and the Cosmos
The ancient Greeks developed a twofold set of philosophical concerns: (a) with the Cosmos and its changing yet orderly structure, and (b) with our consciousness of being uniquely human, yet part and parcel of these cosmic forces.
The author shows how the ancients developed these themes systematically, critically and as answer to actual historical challenges. He skillfully shows both the unity of Greek thinking, and the tremendous diversity and dynamics of their critical debates and varying answers.
