  • Analogical Investigations

    Historical and Cross-cultural Perspectives on Human Reasoning

    de G. E. R. Lloyd ...
    Western philosophy and science are responsible for constructing some powerful tools of investigation, aiming at discovering the truth, delivering robust explanations, verifying conjectures, showing that inferences are sound and demonstrating results conclusively. By contrast reasoning that depends on analogies has often been viewed with suspicion. Professor Lloyd first explores the origins of ... Leer más

  • Greek Science After Aristotle

    de Dr G E R Lloyd ...
    In his previous volume in this series, Early Greek Science: Thales to Aristotle, G. E. R. Lloyd pointed out that although there is no exact equivalent to our term ‘science’ in Greek, Western science may still be said to originate with the Greeks.

  • The Ideals of Inquiry

    An Ancient History

    de G. E. R. Lloyd ...
    Long before science as we know it today existed, sophisticated studies of the external world were undertaken, notably in Mesopotamia, India, China, and Greece. G. E. R. Lloyd explores three interrelated issues concerning those investigations. This first issue is methods--how was it thought that they should be pursued? The second is subject-matter--what was assumed about what there is to be ... Leer más

  • The Ambivalences of Rationality

    Ancient and Modern Cross-Cultural Explorations

    de G. E. R. Lloyd ...
    Is rationality a well-defined human universal such that ideas and behaviour can everywhere be judged by a single set of criteria? Or are the rational and the irrational simply cultural constructs? This study provides an alternative to both options. The universalist thesis underestimates the variety found in sound human reasonings exemplified across time and space and often displays a marked ... Leer más

  • Expanding Horizons in the History of Science

    de G. E. R. Lloyd ...
    This book challenges the common assumption that the predominant focus of the history of science should be the achievements of Western scientists since the so-called Scientific Revolution. The conceptual frameworks within which the members of earlier societies and of modern indigenous groups worked admittedly pose severe problems for our understanding. But rather than dismiss them on the grounds ... Leer más

  • Intelligence and Intelligibility

    Cross-Cultural Studies of Human Cognitive Experience

    de G. E. R. Lloyd ...
    Across several intellectual disciplines there exists a tension between an appreciation of the cognitive capacities that all humans share and a recognition of the great variety in their manifestations in different individuals and groups. In this book G. E. R. Lloyd examines how, while avoiding the imposition of prior Western assumptions and concepts, we can reconcile two conflicting intuitions: ... Leer más
