Oxbow says: This study examines one of the greatest questions that has beset historians and thinkers for thousands of years - whether the world was a divine creation, or not. This question was actively debated among ancient thinkers, especially those that went on to lay the foundations of western philosophy. Based on a lecture series given at the University of California, Berkeley in 2004, David Sedley analyses the position of seven major thinkers or movements from the ancient world on this subject: Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Socrates, Plato, the atomists, Aristotle and the Stoics.
