He demonstrates that many of the common charges against Plato - disinterest, ignorance, dismissal of observation - are unfounded, and shows instead that Plato had a series of important and cogent criticisms to make of the early atomists and other physiologoi. Plato's views on science, and on astronomy and cosmology in particular, are shown to have developed in interesting ways. Thus, the book argues, Plato can best be seen as a philosopher struggling with the foundations of scientific realism, and as someone, moreover, who has interesting epistemological, cosmological and nomological reasons for his approach. Plato's Philosophy of Science is important reading for all those with an interest in Ancient Philosophy and the History of Science. 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $2Philosophy of science 606 $aScience, Ancient 606 $aAstronomy, Ancient 606 $aCosmology, Ancient 606 $aAtomism 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aScience, Ancient. 615 0$aAstronomy, Ancient. 615 0$aCosmology, Ancient. 615 0$aAtomism. 676 $a501 700 $aGregory$b Andrew$f1960-$0616284 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787359803321 996 $aPlato's philosophy of science$91080521 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01128nam0 22002893i 450 001 VAN00127988 005 20240806100825.374 017 70$2N$a9783642278143 100 $a20200330d2019 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aDE 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aTextbook of Aging Skin$fMiranda A.
