In 620 BCE, Greeks believed that things happened because the gods willed them, argues Johnstone (rhetoric, Pennsylvania State U.), but by about 322 BCE, they believed (understood, he puts it) that things in the world cause each other. It is this shift, this coming of wisdom, that he explores. He begins with the epic verse of Homer and Hesiod, then traces changes through the emergence of a naturalistic worldview in the writings the Presocratic thinkers and the humanistic turn of Socrates and the Sophists, to the fullest and most systematic expression of insights and methodologies in the letters and orations of Isocrates, the dialogues of Plato, and the treatises of Aristotle.
