著者について
George Grote (1794–1871) was a preeminent English historian, best known for his voluminous works on ancient Greek history and as an advocate for political radicalism. Born in Kent, Grote was educated at Charterhouse School before joining his family bank, which provided him with the financial stability to pursue his scholarly interests. He was greatly influenced by political philosopher Jeremy Bentham and was an active figure in politics, serving as a Member of Parliament for the City of London between 1832 and 1841. Grote's monumental twelve-volume 'History of Greece' is his most celebrated work, charting the nation's history from its earliest days until the death of Alexander the Great. His historiography promoted the concept of Greece as a cradle of democracy and culture, and he was particularly known for his positive reassessment of Athens' democratic institutions. In addition to his historical writings, Grote also engaged with classical philosophy. His book, 'Plato's Doctrine Respecting the Rotation of the Earth and Aristotle's Comment Upon That Doctrine,' highlights his scholarly interest in ancient scientific thought and provides insight into the intellectual debates of antiquity. Grote's approach combined a rigorous examination of primary sources with a broad understanding of the cultural and political fabric that shaped ancient societies. His work remains influential in the study of classical antiquity.
