Francis Macdonald Cornford Libros
Francis Cornford fue un erudito clásico británico que se apartó del enfoque filológico tradicional para el estudio de la antigüedad. Junto con académicos de ideas afines en Cambridge, se centró en desenterrar los pensamientos y mitos subyacentes que dieron forma a la Grecia clásica. Sus obras exploraron las profundas raíces del pensamiento y la filosofía occidentales, enfatizando a menudo la conexión entre la religión y el pensamiento especulativo. A través de sus influyentes publicaciones, contribuyó a remodelar nuestra comprensión de la mitología, la filosofía y la comedia antiguas, y su obra satírica sigue ridiculizando hasta hoy el sistema académico.
