Sarton at the University of Nebraska, under the titles “Euclid and His Time,” “Ptolemy and His Time,” and “The End of Greek Science and Culture.” The lectures present vivid cross-sections of Hellenistic science, emphasizing its relevance to modern scientific thought. The first lecture delves into Euclid’s monumental influence during the Alexandrian Renaissance, highlighting his \u003cem\u003eElements\u003c\/em\u003e and the famous parallel postulate. The second explores the Roman-Greek intellectual climate through Ptolemy’s works, notably the \u003cem\u003eTetrabiblos\u003c\/em\u003e and its influence on astral religion. The final lecture addresses the decline of Greek science and culture, spotlighting figures like Oribasios and the impacts of religious conflicts. The book closes with valuable bibliographies and outlines of key classical texts, making it a concise yet profound resource for scholars of science history and classical civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmo Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49776325067056,"sku":"DRG.CosmoPub_9788130718798","price":452.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/cosmo-publications-book-default-title-ancient-science-and-modern-civilization-40781914734896.webp?v=1775977398","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/ancient-science-and-modern-civilization","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
