Philosophy in the tragic age of the Greeks

About “Philosophy in the tragic age of the Greeks”

Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks is an incomplete book by Friedrich Nietzsche. He prepared a clean copy of his notes, intending to publish them. The notes were written around 1873. The book focuses on five Greek philosophers from the sixth and fifth centuries BC: Thales, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Parmenides, and Anaxagoras. Nietzsche had planned to include Democritus, Empedocles, and Socrates but did not complete the work. The book ends abruptly after discussing Anaxagoras's cosmogony.
