Book excerpt: The Cambridge Companion to Greek and Roman Philosophy is a wide-ranging 2003 introduction to the study of philosophy in the ancient world. A team of leading specialists surveys the developments of the period and evaluates a comprehensive series of major thinkers, ranging from Pythagoras to Epicurus. There are also separate chapters on how philosophy in the ancient world interacted with religion, literature and science, and a final chapter traces the seminal influence of Greek and Roman philosophy down to the seventeenth century. Practical elements such as tables, illustrations, a glossary, and extensive advice on further reading make it an ideal book to accompany survey courses on the history of ancient philosophy. It will be an invaluable guide for all who are interested in the philosophical thought of this rich and formative period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 2005. There has been much discussion in scholarly literature of the applicability of the concept of 'science' as understood in contemporary English to ancient Greek thought, and of the influence of philosophy and the individual sciences on each other in antiquity. This book focuses on how the ancients themselves saw the issue of the relation between philosophy and the individual sciences. Contributions, from a distinguished international panel of scholars, cover the whole of antiquity from the beginnings of both philosophy and science to the later Roman Empire.

This treatise, of which the subject is the same as that of the last mentioned, except that there is more reference in it to the lower animals, has locn considered by many not to be by Aristotle. Sylblirg considers the style to Hiint to Alexander of Aphrodisias as its author. Mcursius thought it probably to lc by Theophrastus, and l'atritius by Strato, piincipallv lx'cause such a lxxik is mentioned by Diogenes among the writings of these. Kabricius considers it to be Aristotle's, because Aristotle himself, in his treatise 'On the Motion of Animals, ' apiears to allude to it, and Galen rpiotes it as his. But neither of these two passages arc quite conclusive. XIV. Accounts of Animals, (l x). (irtpi ra (fa taropiiu.) This work is variously entitled in the manuscripts, irtpi (yur iaroptu, Tui-irtpi (utor toropia. Pliny (' Nat. Hist.' viii. 17), where he speaks of Aristotle's magnificent work 'On Animals, ' in fifty books, appears to include together with this all the treatises on natural history which follow it (and indeed are naturally connected with it), as well as some on comparative anatomy, now lost. The same may bo said of Cicero's notice of them (' De Fin.' v. 4.) This work was illustrated by diagrams of the several parts of animals, which, together with the necessary explanations, crhaps formed a treatise by themselves.

This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Ancient Greece is often considered to be the birthplace of science and medicine, and the explanation of natural phenomena without recourse to supernatural causes. The early natural philosophers - lovers of wisdom concerning nature - sought to explain the order and composition of the world, and how we come to know it. They were particularly interested in what exists and how it is ordered: ontology and cosmology. They were also concerned with how we come to know (epistemology) and how best to live (ethics). At the same time, the scientific thinkers of early Greece and Rome were also influenced by ideas from other parts of the world, and incorporated aspects of Egyptian, Babylonian, and Indian science and mathematics in their studies. In this Very Short Introduction Liba Taub gives an overview of the major developments in early science between the 8th century BCE and 6th century CE. Focussing on Greece and Rome, Taub challenges a number of modern misconceptions about science in the classical world, which has often been viewed with a modern lens and by modern scientists, such as the misconception that little empirical work was conducted, or that the Romans did not 'do' science, unlike the Greeks. Beginning with the scientific notions of Thales, Pythagoras, Parmenides and other Presocratics, she moves on to Plato and Aristotle, before considering Hellenistic science, the influence of the Stoics and Epicurean ideas, and the works of Pliny the Elder, Eratosthenes, and Ptolemy. In her sweeping discussion, Taub explores the richness and creativity of ideas concerning the natural world, and the influence these ideas have had on later centuries. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
