Harmonics in a wider perspective.The science called 'harmonics' was one of the major intellectual enterprises of Greek antiquity. Ptolemy's treatise seeks to invest it with new scientific rigour; its consistently sophisticated procedural self-awareness marks it as a key text in the history of science. This book is a sustained methodological exploration of Ptolemy's project. After an analysis of his explicit pronouncements on the science's aims and the methods appropriate to it, it examines Ptolemy's conduct of his investigation in detail, concluding that despite occasional uncertainties, the declared procedure is followed with remarkable fidelity. Ptolemy pursues tenaciously his novel objective of integrating closely the project's theoretical and empirical phases and shows astonishing mastery of the concept, the design and the conduct of controlled experimental tests. By opening up this neglected text to historians of science, the book aims to provide a point of departure for wider studies of Greek scientific method.Music theoryHistoryTo 500Science, AncientMusic theoryHistoryScience, Ancient.781./0901Barker Andrew1943-186564UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910455042803321Scientific method in Ptolemy's Harmonics1011491UNINA02277nam 22004693a 450 991034596710332120250203232517.0https://doi.org/10.6093/978-88-6887-059-1(CKB)4920000000094045(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/55584(NjHacI)994920000000094045(ScCtBLL)c7114942-b6b3-4b46-afec-9b33d0266be2(OCoLC)1163847651(Perlego)2343196(oapen)doab55584(EXLCZ)99492000000009404520250203i20192019 uu itaurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierIl Palazzo dell'Università Casa comune della cultura giuridica : Catalogo della Mostra-Convegno per i cento anni della Facoltà di Giurisprudenza dell' Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II /Francesca Galgano, Raffaele BasileFedOA - Federico II University Press2019[s.l.] :FedOA - Federico II University Press,2019.1 electronic resource (128 p.)Fuori Collana9788868870591 8868870592 The idea of an Exhibition-Convention on the establishment and on the historical, didactic and scientific story of the Faculty of Jurisprudence of the Friderician University arises from the need to start an appropriate focus on the importance assumed by this institution in the development of knowledge and of legal practice in Southern Italy (and not only). Moving from the greeting addresses of the Rector and of the National Forensic Councils and of the Notariat, and from a suggestive reflection by the Director of the Department, the volume contains in the first part the Proceedings of the meeting held on 12 November 2015 in the Aula Pessina.Fuori Collana.Law officesLaw offices.340.0684Galgano Francesca308204Basile RaffaeleScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910345967103321Il Palazzo dell'Università Casa comune della cultura giuridica4323134UNINA
