When interpreting the ancient Greek "political comedy" poet Aristophanes, this book attempts to go beyond the usual "micro-historical determinism" interpretation method used by classical scholars - using the historical conditions before and after the performance of each comedy as the decisive guiding clue for understanding each of Aristophanes' comedies. It is believed that the schism between Aristophanes and Socrates was the schism between wisdom and philosophy. Just as Mozi was an outlier among the thinkers of the pre-Qin period in China, Aristophanes was also an outlier among the thinkers of the classical Greek period. The essence of "a hundred schools of thought contending" lies in the cultural transformation and the ideological relationship between the interlocutors. Based on relevant ancient Greek texts, this book mainly discusses Aristophanes' responses to topics such as education, war and peace, Panhellenism, and theodicy from the perspective of "intellectual history", and preliminarily discusses the basic situation of "nomenclature" reflected in Aristophanes' plays.
