Josiah Ober, The Greeks and the Rational: The Discovery of Practical Reason, Sather Classical Lectures, 76 (Oakland, California: University of California Press, 2022) ISBN 978-0-520-38016-5
Economic filter put over ancient Greek thought (choice theory so “rational” as in practical, not the dreamy logos). But I’ve only read the preface.
No Pyrrho, but yes to Bruno Snell and E.R. Dodd in some historigraphyical notes on applying filters to ancient Greek thought. This explains the subtitles use of “discovery” as a bit of a meme, the main header is a nod to these works too.
Putting this here because I’ll look at the rest of it after some other that have come up.
