About this product
Product Information
Amazons and giants, snakes and gorgons, centaurs and gryphons: monsters abounded in the ancient world. 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.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
