THE EVOLUTION OF GREEK PHILOSOPHY

WRITTEN SPECIALLY FOR THE PRESENT WORK

BY DR. HERMANN DIELS

Professor in the University of Berlin.


It is a primary law of development that each generation should supplant
and supersede that which preceded it. The parents bring forth the child,
and when the child has advanced to full maturity they themselves lapse
into oblivion; and the same fate overtakes their children and children’s
children.
