«De physis a polis» is the philosophical essay by Antonio Escohotado, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (240 pages, in Spanish).
In this essay, Escohotado traces the formation of Greek philosophical thought from Thales to Socrates, exploring the earliest reflections on nature (physis) and their shift towards life in the city (polis). He also asks about the relevance of the Presocratic categories that underlie Western reason.
The work originally appeared in 1975 and belongs to Anagrama's Argumentos Collection (no. 34).
A read for the general public interested in classical philosophy and the history of ideas.
Antonio Escohotado Espinosa, commonly called Antonio Escohotado, was a Spanish philosopher, jurist, essayist and university professor. His life's work primarily focused on law, philosophy and sociology, yet extended to many other disciplines. Escohotado gained public renown for his research on drugs and for his well-known anti-prohibitionist positions. One of his best known works is The General History of Drugs. The leitmotif of his work is, in the same way, an affirmation of freedom as an antidote to fear or the constraints that push the human being towards all kinds of servitude. His thought fits into the framework of libertarian liberalism.
