EBOOK Science before Socrates: Parmenides, Anaxagoras, and the New Astronomy
Opis
Parmenides, Anaxagoras, and the New Astronomy
In Science before Socrates, Daniel W. Graham argues against the prevalent belief that the Presocratic philosophers did not produce any empirical science and that the first major Greek science, astronomy, did not develop until at least the time of Plato. Instead, Graham proposes that the advances made by Presocratic philosophers in the study of astronomy deserve to be considered as scientific contributions.
