Описание: Claims that while we are in many ways different from the Greeks the differences are not to be traced to a shift in basic conceptions of ethical life. This book argues that we are more like the ancients than we are prepared to acknowledge, and only when this is understood can we grasp our differences from them, such as our rejection of slavery.

Описание: Brian Leftow offers a theist theory of necessity and possibility, and a new sort of argument for God`s existence. He argues that necessities of logic and mathematics are determined by God`s nature, but that it is events in God`s mind - His imagination and choice - that account for necessary truths about concrete creatures.
