Condizione: Good. In this volume, the author discusses the fundamental Greek contributions to science, drawing on the rich literary and archaeological sources for the period after Aristotle. Particular attention is paid to the Greeks' conceptions of the inquiries they were engaged on, and to the interrelations of science and philosophy, science and religion, and science and technology. In the first part of the book the author considers the two hundred years after the death of Aristotle, devoting separate chapters to mathematics, astronomy, and biology. He goes on to deal with Ptolemy and Galen and concludes with a discussion of later writers and of the problems raised by the question of the decline of ancient science.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A Guide to Greek Thought ? Major Figures and Trends (2003) by Jacques Brunschwig & Geoffrey E. R. Lloyd ? Condition: Good (Crappy Old Books) If you?ve ever wanted to time-travel to ancient Greece without the inconvenience of sandals and city-states constantly at war, A Guide to Greek Thought is your passport. Edited by Jacques Brunschwig and Geoffrey E. R. Lloyd, and published by the Belknap Press of Harvard University Press in 2003 (ISBN: 9780674021563), this volume is exactly what it says on the cover: a guided tour of the giants of Greek philosophy and the big currents of thought they stirred up. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle?yes, of course?but also the Sophists, the Stoics, the Epicureans, and other schools that prove the Greeks were never short of opinions on how best to live, argue, and eat figs. This isn?t just a dry catalogue of names and dates; it?s a lucid, engaging map of an intellectual landscape that still shapes us today. Brunschwig and Lloyd corral a team of distinguished scholars who manage to make metaphysics sound less like an exam question and more like a lively dinner debate. Want to understand how logic got its start? Why Epicurus thought tranquility was the highest good? Or why Heraclitus kept muttering about rivers? It?s all here, unpacked with clarity and wit. Now, about the copy: it?s sold by Crappy Old Books and rated Good . Which means the cover may show a bit of shelfwear (nothing tragic, just the literary equivalent of toga wrinkles), the spine has been flexed, and the pages may carry the faint tan of time. But everything is intact, legible, and ready for another round of philosophical contemplation. No missing leaves, no suspicious wine stains from Athenian symposia, no margin notes in Attic Greek?just a solid, serviceable copy. In short: A Guide to Greek Thought is both an introduction and a refresher course in the thinkers who defined Western philosophy. This copy is in Good condition?worn enough to look wise, but sturdy enough to endure another couple of millennia. Another cerebral gem from Crappy Old Books, where even Plato would approve (probably).…
