The author emphasizes that it is pointless to evaluate ancient conceptions of science on any other criteria than those accepted by ancient scientists themselves. He points to some interesting aspects of Chinese which had no counterparts in the Greek tradition, and vice versa. But it's all presented very briefly and it seems like much is left unsaid. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This is a wide-ranging exploration of the similarities and differences between ancient Greek and ancient Chinese science and philosophy, concentrating on the period down to AD 300. Professor Lloyd studies such questions as the attitudes towards authority, the practice of confrontational debate, the role of methodological inquiries, the development of techniques of persuasion, the assumptions made about causal explanation and the focus of interest in the study of the heavens and in that of the human body. In each case the Greek and Chinese ways of posing the problems are carefully distinguished to avoid applying either Greek categories to Chinese thought or vice versa. Professor Lloyd shows that the science produced in each ancient civilisation differs in important respects and relates those differences to the values and social institutions in question.
