• 1. Introduction; 2. Heraclitus; 3. Parmendies and Pythagoreans; 4. Plato; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.

"Miller provides an interesting study of the possibility of human transcendence through rationality in the early Greek tradition. He plans to pursue this topic into later Greek philosophy where it becomes even more prominent, and his study already points the way to Aristotle's life of reason.
