Ancient Philosophy, Mystery, and Magic
Kingsley looks at recent archaeological discoveries in the Mediterranean and examines their implications on the body of academic philosophy that has built up over the last couple of millenia.
This book, while fascinating, is written for an academic audience. Kingsley dots every "i" and crosses every "t" in the way that PhDs must do when trying convince each other of the validity of a thesis.
