Reviewer: N. Kazanas
A Review of Mc Evilley Th’s The Shape of Ancient Thought, New York, Allworth Press,
2002. This book of 700 close-printed pages is remarkable for its range of erudition covering the ancient religiophilosophical thought and some aspects of the art of the diverse cultures from Greece through the Near East to Persia and India. It is the fruit of some 30 years of research. But it is also remarkable for many misrepresentations, some egregious errors of fact and, consequently, injudicious conclusions.
