Description:
Routledge, London / New York, 1994. 1st ed. 357p. ills. Paperback. Nice copy. French 'presents a wide-angled view of the relationship between the physical world, the gods, Greek philosophy and the purposes of those who expressed such different notions about 'nature'. Aristotle's zoology, Theophrastus' works on plants and Strabo's geography form the core of the work. (...) F.'s assessment of Ancient Natural History is well presented and illustrated. It will be an essential vade-mecum for anyone interested in further exploring this fascinating aspect of the ancient world.' (JOHN F. HEALY in The Classical Review (New Series), 1995, pp.403-04). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.

Description:
New. Ancient Natural History surveys the ways in which people in the ancient world thought about nature. The writings of Aristotle, Theophrastus, Strabo, Pliny are examined, as well as the popular beliefs of their contemporaries. Roger French finds that the same natural-historical material was used to serve the purposes of both the Greek philosopher and the Christian allegorist, or of a taxonomist like Theophrastus and a collector of curiosa like Pliny. He argues convincingly that the motives of ancient writers on nature were rarely `scientific' and, indeed, that there was not really any science at all in the ancient world. This book will make fascinating reading for students, academics and anyone who is interested in the history of science, or in the ancient history of ideas.
