Description

In this series of essays published over 40 years, Charles Kahn explicates the ancient Greek concept of 'being'. His linguistic aim of explaining the meaning of the verb 'einai' is intertwined with his historical and philosophical project of understanding how the concept came to be central to Greek philosophy.
