Autorenporträt
George Grote (1794–1871) stands as a towering figure in the intellectual history of nineteenth-century Britain, best known for his seminal work as an historian of ancient Greece. Born in Clay Hill, Kent, on November 17, 1794, Grote was educated at Charterhouse School before joining the family banking business. Despite lacking formal higher education, he cultivated deep interests in philosophy and classical studies. Grote's passion for history crystallized into his magnum opus, 'A History of Greece,' which was published in twelve volumes between 1846 and 1856 and established him as a preeminent classical historian. His examination of ancient Greek democracy and the Athenian political system was innovative for emphasizing positive contributions of the Athenian democracy rather than focusing solely on its decline. In addition to his historical writings, Grote published 'Plato and the Other Companions of Sokrates' (1865), an extensive philosophical and historical study that detailed the lives and thoughts of Socrates's contemporaries and students, including an in-depth analysis of Plato's dialogues and the Socratic philosophy. Grote's analytical approach and lucid narrative style have augmented his reputation as a historian whose work was instrumental in shaping the modern study of antiquity. His erudition and scholarly contributions left a significant legacy not only in the field of classical studies but also in the way nineteenth-century thinkers approached the disciplines of history and philosophy.
