Hardcover in Dustjacket. Condizione: AS NEW COPY. ANCIENT HISTORYÂ PHILOSOPHYÂ SCIENCEAt some time around 200 A.D., the Stoic philosopher and teacher Cleomedes delivered a set of lectures on elementary astronomy as part of a complete introduction to Stoicism for his students. The result was "The Heavens (Caelestia), "the only wo…rk by a professional Stoic teacher to survive intact from the first two centuries A.D., and a rare example of the interaction between science and philosophy in late antiquity. This volume contains a clear and idiomatic English translation--the first ever--of "The Heavens, "along with an informative introduction, detailed notes, and technical diagrams. This important work will now be accessible to specialists in both ancient philosophy and science and to readers interested in the history of astronomy and cosmology but with no knowledge of ancient Greek. pp. 254 First Edition #260722 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
