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. 606 $aMusic theory$xHistory$yTo 500 606 $aScience, Ancient 615 0$aMusic theory$xHistory 615 0$aScience, Ancient. 676 $a781./0901 700 $aBarker$b Andrew$f1943-$0186564 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455042803321 996 $aScientific method in Ptolemy's Harmonics$91011491 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00991nam a22002651i 4500 001 991002712639707536 005 20040311091401.0 008 040624s1973 uik|||||||||||||||||eng 020 $a0521201411 035 $ab12966241-39ule_inst 035 $aARCHE-092392$9ExL 040 $aDip.to Beni Culturali$bita$cA.t.i.
