| 內容簡介： |
Aladdin’s Lamp is the fascinating story of how ancient Greek
philosophy and science began in the sixth century B.C. and, during
the next millennium, spread across the Greco-Roman world, producing
the remarkable discoveries and theories of Thales, Pythagoras,
Hippocrates, Plato, Aristotle, Euclid, Archimedes, Galen, Ptolemy,
and many others. John Freely explains how, as the Dark Ages
shrouded Europe, scholars in medieval Baghdad translated the works
of these Greek thinkers into Arabic, spreading their ideas
throughout the Islamic world from Central Asia to Spain, with many
Muslim scientists, most notably Avicenna, Alhazen, and Averro?s,
adding their own interpretations to the philosophy and science they
had inherited. Freely goes on to show how, beginning in the twelfth
century, these texts by Islamic scholars were then translated from
Arabic into Latin, sparking the emergence of modern science at the
dawn of the Renaissance, which climaxed in the Scientific
Revolution of the seventeenth century.
