The ideals of inquiry : an ancient history

Author: G. E. R. Lloyd

Summary:Long before science as we know it existed, sophisticated studies of the physical world were undertaken--in Mesopotamia, India, China, and Greece. G. E. R. Lloyd explores the methods, subject-matter, and aims of those studies. He illuminates the origins of human intellectual inquiry, finding similarities and differences across cultures.
