The Origin of the History of Science in Classical Antiquity - Leonid Zhmud.pdf
Torrent description
The study of the history of science has grown dramatically from the rather faddish classicism of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the rich discipline it is today, but its historiography of science has remained quiet. Zhmud points out that this is not at all surprising, as the study of the history of science has always been, properly, science. He begins what promises to be a new discipline by evaluating the period when science and history first met in antiquity, the first discoverers, the strange days of heurematography, the theory and origin of medicine and the example of mathematics, the Platonic academy, the late fourth century Lyceum, the history of geometry from Eudemus of Rhodes, fragments and commentary on the history of arithmetic and the origin of number (here comes Eudemus again), the history of astronomy and a brief outline of the history of science after Eudemus.
