Stace aims to elucidate complex philosophical concepts while linking them to the historical evolution of thought, providing insights into how these ideas shaped future philosophies. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exploration of Greek philosophy, beginning with an inquiry into the nature of philosophy itself. Stace discusses the difficulties in defining philosophy and emphasizes its overarching aim to understand the universe as a whole, as opposed to specialized scientific disciplines. He highlights the importance of asking fundamental questions, detailing how Greek philosophers attempted to explain the cosmos without reliance on myth or superstition.
