About this product

Product Information

Amazons and giants, snakes and gorgons, centaurs and gryphons: monsters abounded in the ancient world. They raise enduring philosophical questions: about chaos and order; about divinity and perversion; about meaning and purpose; about the hierarchy of nature or its absence. Del Lucchese grapples with the concept of monstrosity, showing how ancient philosophers explored metaphysics, ontology, theology and politics to respond to the challenge of radical otherness in nature and in thought.

Reviews
Filippo Del Lucchese not only offers a thorough historical inquiry into ancient Greek and Roman teratologies, he explores the fascinating hypothesis that theories of monstrosity are a key topic in the basic philosophical debate about Nature, its mechanisms and its norms. This book should appeal to anyone interested in ancient thought and its relations to modern debates about biological norms.
