Description

Explore the connection between economic change and intellectual history in Money and the Early Greek Mind. In this work, Richard Seaford examines how the sixth century BC became a turning point for Western thought. He argues that the invention and rapid spread of coinage created the first thoroughly monetized society, changing how people viewed the world. This book investigates how the shift to a money-based economy influenced the birth of Presocratic philosophy and Greek tragedy. Seaford explains how monetisation helped shape the concept of the universe as an impersonal system and contributed to the portrayal of individuals in tragedy who felt separated from their kin and the gods. Published by Cambridge University Press, this text provides a unique perspective on how social relations and economic developments served as precursors to some of the most significant cultural achievements in human history. It is a must-read for those interested in ancient history, philosophy, and the origins of Greek literature.
