(Author)Description:Explaining The Cosmos Is A Major Reinterpretation Of Greek Scientific Thought Before Socrates Focusing On The Scientific Tradition Of Philosophy, Daniel Graham Argues That Presocratic Philosophy Is Not A Mere Patchwork Of Different Schools And Styles Of Thought Rather, There Is A Discernible And Unified Ionian Tradition That Dominates Presocratic Debates Graham Rejects The Common Interpretation Of The Early Ionians As Material Monists And Also The View Of The Later Ionians As Desperately Trying To Save Scientific Philosophy From Parmenides' Criticisms In Graham's View, Parmenides Plays A Constructive Role In Shaping The Scientific Debates Of The Fifth Century Bc Accordingly, The History Of Presocratic Philosophy Can Be Seen Not As A Series Of Dialectical Failures, But Rather As A Series Of Theoretical Advances That Led To Empirical Discoveries Indeed, The Ionian Tradition Can Be Seen As The Origin Of The Scientific Conception Of The World That We Still Hold Today Binding:Hardcover, HardcoverPublisher:Princeton University PressPublication Date:2006-08-06Weight:1.44 lbsDimensions:1.07'' H x 9.48'' L x 6.28'' WNumber of Pages:344Language:English
