Reproduction of the original: Impressions of Theophrastus Such by George Eliot
This study of Theophrastus' much neglected "De sensibus" offers a new interpretation of the treatment of the Presocratic and Platonic views on sense perception, and provides new insight into Theophrastus' exegetical procedure by using Peripatetic dialectic as a heuristic tool.
Together these essays show one of the most original minds of the Renaissance at the height of his powers.

"Your mind is now the ultimate gaming engine. Ditch the remote. Ditch the controller. Explore worlds and stories through a revolutionary single-player role-playing system that pushes your imagination beyond its furthest limits"--Back cover.
For centuries, some of the most brilliant minds in Europe searched for the rules of nature's game. In a world full of plagues and poisons, many medicines were made from plant extracts and there was a practical need to differentiate between one plant and another. Alongside this was an overwhelming desire to make sense of the natural world. Scholars, aided by the artists who painted the first pictures of plants, set out looking, writing and classifying, but 2,000 years were to pass before any rules became clear. Anna Pavord takes us on an exhilarating and fascinating journey through botanical history, travelling from Athens in the third century BC, through Constantinople and Venice, Padua and Pisa to the present day.
