Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:This book takes a new approach to the question, "Is the philosopher to be seen as universal human being or as eccentric?." Through a reading of the Theaetetus, Pappas first considers how we identify philosophers - how do they appear, in particular how do they dress? The book moves to modern philosophical treatments of fashion, and of "anti-fashion." He argues that aspects of the fashion/anti-fashion debate apply to antiquity, indeed that nudity at the gymnasia was an anti-fashion. Thus anti-fashion provides a way of viewing ancient philosophy's orientation toward a social world in which, for all its true existence elsewhere, philosophy also has to live.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
