Talk by Renford Bambrough
Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge
It seems to me regrettable,' says the speaker, ' that so few of those who read Greek philosophy have any direct experience of what it feels like to be worried by a live philosophical problem. ' From rhis viewpoint he reconsiders the ' Cambridge approach ' to the study of ancient philosophy, with reference to the late Professor F. M Cornford's posthumous book Principium Sapientiae and to the recent inaugural lecture by W. K. C. Guthrie Laurence Professor of Ancient Philosophy at Cambridge
