Ancient Worlds, Modern Reflections: Philosophical Perspectives on Greek and Chinese Science and Culture
Bok av Geoffrey Lloyd
Geoffrey Lloyd's pioneering new book uses a study of ancient Greek and Chinese science and culture to throw light on fundamental problems, both intellectual and moral, that we still face today. The issues range from the debate about realism and relativism in philosophy of science to doubts concerning the universal applicability of the discourse of human rights. Lloyd provides compelling evidence that ancient civilizations have much to offer contemporary debates in
many fields of study.
