ISBN-13: 978-0-9633277-8-9, ISBN: 0-9633277-8-X

"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.

"2 In view of the fundamental (for the pure Platonists) distinction between the intelligible and the sensible worlds, Plotinus's charge means that Aristotle erred in directing his inquiries towards the latter to the neglect of the former which, nevertheless, comprises "the most important beings."3 Since Aristotle's categories fail to function as 'genera of Being," in Plotinus's view they lose to Plato's ui-vicrTa 7evt] presented in ..."

"Recently attention has been drawn again to the thesis that classical Greek civilization owed a great deal to Egyptian civilization. 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. One of the more provocative books, for an historian of philosophy at least, is Stolen Legacy: The Greeks were not th ..."
