Descrizione del libro
The notion of distinct mentalities has been used extensively by historians to describe and explain cultural diversity. Professor Lloyd believes it is communication, not mentalities, that explains cultural diversity. Discussing apparently irrational beliefs and behaviour, he shows how different forms of thought coexist in a single culture but within conventionally defined contexts.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - If faraway peoples have different ideas from our own, is this because they have different mentalities? Did our remote ancestors lack logic? The notion of distinct mentalities has been used extensively by historians to describe and explain cultural diversity. Professor Lloyd rejects this psychologising talk of mentalities and proposes an alternative approach, which takes as its starting point the social contexts of communication. Discussing apparently irrational beliefs and behaviour (such as magic), and also classic instances of the emergence of science in Greece and in China, he shows how different forms of thought coexist in a single culture but within conventionally defined contexts. Social institutions define situationally appropriate rules of argument and proof. ISBN 9780521366809 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 297 15,2 x 1,2 x 22,9 cm, Broschiert / Paperback.

Cambridge University Press, 1993. Reprint 1st ed. VIII,174p. Paperback. Ex libris Prof. Horstmanshoff glued to half title. ?In this study G.E.R. Lloyd explores the rhetoric of discourse in which early Greek scientific concepts were expressed. He begins by questioning the validity of Lévy-Bruhl?s influential concept of ?mentalities? as it applies to Greek society. Lloyd argues that the notion is not merely vague and ambiguous, (?) but that it ignores the critical problem of how an observer?s own value-laden categories can significantly distort the interpretation of the actor?s beliefs. Lloyds proceeds to a discussion of Greek medicine as a representative example of the development of Greek science. He focuses on the difficulty of distinguishing clearly between the literal and metaphorical intent of the counterintuitive or paradoxical statements that are frequently found in Greek literature. (?) he points out that Greek science and philosophy developed in the context debate, both intellectual and political, and cannot be understood apart from the adversarial and agonistic elements that were so much a part of Greek life. (?) Lloyd continues his theme in Chapter 2 by arguing that the earliest Greek science deliberately sought to contrast itself with mythical and magical modes of expression in order to define and legitimate itself. (?) In Chapter 3 he examines the way in which the concept of proof was first made explicit in Greek thought. (?) In Chapter 4 Lloyd asks whether the same kinds of factors that were operative in the formation of Greek photo-science are also to be found in ancient Chinese science. This is the least satisfactory chapter of the book. (?) But Lloyd is always provocative, and he ranges widely over Chinese, Vedic as well as classical cultures.? (GARY B. FERNGREN in Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, 1994, pp.437-438). Codice articolo 63368
