Samenvatting

From the Preface.
THIS second volume follows the same plan as the first. It is a further expansion of Aeschylus and Athens, dealing with the growth of slavery and the origin of science.

I have not attempted a systematic study of slavery. That is a task for collective research based on all the material now available. It becomes increasingly clear that such a study will never be undertaken by bourgeois scholars, whose acquiescence in colonial oppression renders them incapable of understanding the degradation either of the slave or still more of the slave-owner. I hope, however, that enough has been said to show that Greek civilisation cannot be understood without it.

Nor have I investigated the technical origins of Greek science. That too is a matter for specialists. My aim has been to examine the ideas underlying the work of the natural philosophers, which forms a link between primitive thought and scientific knowledge. When studying the economic basis of tragedy, with the results given in Aeschylus and Athens, I realised that my conclusions must apply equally to other ideological products of ancient democracy. Accordingly, in the present volume, I have examined the part played by commodity production and the circulation of money in the growth of Greek philosophy.
