Ancient Worlds, Modern Reflections: Philosophical Perspectives on Greek and Chinese Science and Culture Paperback - 2006

by Geoffrey E. Lloyd; G. E. Lloyd


From the publisher

Geoffrey Lloyd's pioneering 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.

First line

How can we hope to understand societies that existed long ago?
