Description
It is to Greek critical thinking about `seeing that we owe our conceptual framework for theorising the senses. Contributors to Sight and the Ancient Senses aim not only to explore ancient ideas and ideologies, but also to examine their influence on the history of western `seeing at large: by bringing together philosophers, historians of science, literary critics and art historians, the aim is to interrogate the cultural, social and intellectual backdrops against which discourses of sight came to be theorised in antiquity on the one hand, and to ask what these backdrops mean for understanding extant literary and archaeological products on the other.
