The Presocratics and the Supernatural: Magic, Philosophy and Science in Early Greece: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Presocratics and the Supernatural: Magic, Philosophy and Science in Early Greece" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book examines the relationship between magic, philosophy and the investigation of nature in presocratic Greece. Did the presocratic thinkers, often praised for their rejection of the supernatural, still believe in gods and the divine and the efficacy of magical practices? Did they use animism, astrology, numerology and mysticism in their explanations of the world? This book analyses the evidence in detail and argues that we need to look at each of these beliefs in context.
