Interesting point about pronunciation. Can't comment as I'm no ancient Greek scholar. It is interesting to study how languages develop and mutate and the Greek language has certainly been through a wild ride. Hi Julie,

Although, the modern pronounciation rules are a bit different. I won't ever understand why you now say the "η" like a "i". Wasn't it more logical to have a long e and a short e sound? Well, maybe this isn't the best place to discuss about these things ^^; ). It was about time a new Philosophy's dictionary was writte in Greek, if it really was so long the last one was published. After all, Greece can be thought the birthplace of the classical Philosophy, if not the birthplace of the actual philosophy anyway. it would be a shame if this very important background was lost for the new generations!
