Adversaries and Authorities: Investigations into Ancient Greek and Chinese Science (Ideas in Context, Series Number 42)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Did science and philosophy develop differently in ancient Greece and ancient China? If so, can we say why? This book consists of a series of detailed studies of cosmology, natural philosophy, mathematics and medicine that suggest the answer to the first question is yes. To answer the second, the author relates the science produced in each ancient civilization first to the values of the society in question and then to the institutions within which the scientists and philosophers worked.
