Beskrivelse

This book argues that the idea that the world works 'like a machine' can be found in ancient Greek thought, predating the early modern philosophy with which it is most closely associated. Topics include balancing and equilibrium, lifting water, sphere-making and models of the heavens, and ancient Greek pneumatic theory.
