This book delves into the pivotal Greek moment in the history of Western consciousness, identifying it as the cradle of European thought and its primary foundational reference. It does not trace this founding moment through its social or economic transformations but rather examines its relationship with "meaning"—the nature of the worldview that governed existence, with its three components: God, the universe, and humanity.

The book presents its interpretive model for the formation of European consciousness, focusing on this worldview as a key tool for analyzing Western philosophical thought throughout its history. It "reads its historical development in light of its interaction with that meaning."

What is this overarching meaning inherent in the philosophical mind at its inception? What are its spheres of influence? What evidence confirms the efficacy of this meaning during those foundational moments? This research endeavors to answer these questions.

This volume is the second part of the project "History of Western Thought: A Critical Vision," which the center aims to complete by tracing the history and transformations of this thought from its origins to the present day.
