The Great Ages in Western Philosophy in Six Volumes… af Anne Fremantle, Editor
$150. Excellent condition.
I'm not as interested in Renaissance politics as I thought I might be, but the diagrams of the solar system according to the Ptolemaic and Copernican systems (both highly complex, with epicycles) are worth keeping the book for. I'm going to shelve it with astronomy.
Fascinating and almost hypnotising in its treatment of mythology but the theory it proposes is rather meaningless. Let's say you're right and the ancients were super smart and had knowledge that was since lost. You've shown there is no way to recover it beyond knowledge we already have and can recognise fragments of in the myths. In my opinion all this is completely unsubstantiated, seeing patterns in toast, like bible code. Still fascinating, shame about how obtuse the writing is. Would read more.… (mere)
