In examining perhaps the earliest Greek sources that meaningfully inquire into how humans come to know the world around them, Shaul Tor has crafted a compelling narrative of a tradition of what might be called theological epistemology. Engaging with issues of archaic Greek religion, philosophy, and poetics, this book will be relevant to scholars working in all three fields. Tor argues for this tradition in such a way that, even if one disagrees with him when it comes to some of the thornier issues of interpretation, the broad picture he paints remains convincing.
This book demonstrates that we need not choose between seeing so-called Presocratic thinkers as rational philosophers or as religious sages. In particular, it rethinks fundamentally the emergence of systematic epistemology and reflection on speculative inquiry in Hesiod, Xenophanes and Parmenides. Shaul Tor argues that different forms of reasoning, and different models of divine disclosure, play equally integral, harmonious and mutually illuminating roles in early Greek epistemology. Throughout, the book relates these thinkers to their religious, literary and historical surroundings. It is thus also, and inseparably, a study of poetic inspiration, divination, mystery initiation, metempsychosis and other early Greek attitudes to the relations and interactions between mortal and divine. The engagements of early philosophers with such religious attitudes present us with complex combinations of criticisms and creative appropriations. Indeed, the early milestones of philosophical epistemology studied here themselves reflect an essentially theological enterprise and, as such, one aspect of Greek religion.
