Bakker -- Indexes /Frederik A. Bakker.In Epicurean Meteorology Frederik Bakker discusses the meteorology as laid out by Epicurus (341-270 BCE) and Lucretius (1st century BCE). Although in scope and organization their ideas are clearly rooted in the Peripatetic tradition, their meteorology sets itself apart from this tradition by its systematic use of multiple explanations and its sole reliance on sensory evidence as opposed to mathematics and other axiomatic principles. Through a thorough investigation of the available evidence Bakker offers an updated and qualified account of Epicurean meteorology, arguing against Theophrastus’ authorship of the Syriac meteorology , highlighting the originality of Lucretius’ treatment of mirabilia , and refuting the oft-repeated claim that the Epicureans held the earth to be flat.Philosophia antiqua ;Volume 142.Epicureans (Greek philosophy)MeteorologyHistoryPhilosophy, AncientEpicureans (Greek philosophy)MeteorologyHistory.Philosophy, Ancient.551.501Bakker Frederik A.789286MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798600203321Epicurean meteorology1760371UNINA00840nam0-2200265 --450 991080478330332120240220150233.020240220d1915----kmuy0itay5050 bagerDE 001yyFrost und Licht als beeinflussende Kräfte bei der Samenkeimungvon Wilhelm KinzelStuttgartEugen Ulmer191571 p.22 cmNel front.: Erläuterungen und Ergänzungen zum ersten BucheRiproduzioneSemi581.46723itaKinzel,Wilhelm1592260ITUNINAREICATUNIMARCBK9910804783303321A PAT 18842044/2024FAGBCFAGBCFrost und Licht als beeinflussende Kräfte bei der Samenkeimung3908499UNINA
