"The recent popular interest in Martin Bernal's Black Athena has called renewed attention to G.R.G James, Stolen Legacy (1954), a classic source of the argument that ancient Greek philosophy was stolen from the Egyptians. I have elsewhere [1] discussed the James thesis concerning the presocratics and Plato; in this paper I will examine his thesis that the philosophy of Aristotle in particular derives from Egypt."

The first two volumes (1987, 1991) of Martin Bernal's projected four-volume study, Black Athena, have strongly supported the thesis, but earlier scholarship has also gotten renewed attention.

Recognizing that these thinkers were not ..."
