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. 410 0$aPhilosophia antiqua ;$vVolume 142. 606 $aEpicureans (Greek philosophy) 606 $aMeteorology$xHistory 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 615 0$aEpicureans (Greek philosophy) 615 0$aMeteorology$xHistory. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 676 $a551.501 700 $aBakker$b Frederik A.$0789286 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814720403321 996 $aEpicurean meteorology$91760371 997 $aUNINA
