Professor Kozlowski kicks off his series on Pre-Socratic Philosophy with an examination of the forerunners to Pre-Socratic philosophy: Greek and Babylonian mythological traditions like Homer, Hesiod, and the Orphics; odd ducks like Pherecydes; and some questions about what does and does not constitute "philosophy" proper.
