Description

Explore the relationship between identity and appearance in this scholarly work from Routledge. The Philosopher's New Clothes: The Theaetetus, the Academy, and Philosophy's Turn against Fashion examines whether a philosopher should be viewed as a universal human being or an eccentric figure. Through a detailed reading of the Theaetetus, Pappas investigates how philosophers are identified and how their physical appearance and clothing choices impact their social standing. The book connects ancient practices to modern philosophical discussions regarding fashion and anti-fashion. By analyzing how nudity at the gymnasia functioned as a form of anti-fashion, the author provides a fresh way to look at how ancient philosophy engaged with the social world. This text is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Ancient Greek history, civilization, and the social dimensions of philosophical thought. It offers a unique perspective on how ancient thinkers positioned themselves within their culture through their outward presentation.
