Science, folklore, and ideology : studies in the life sciences in ancient Greece
Author:G. E. R. Lloyd

Summary:This book studies ancient Greek medicine and biology through the interaction between scientific theorising and folklore or popular assumptions. Ideological character of scientific inquiry is also discussed. Topics of interest include the relationship between thought and early science and roles of the consensus on the scientific community.

Taking a set of central issues from ancient Greek medicine and biology, this book studies first the interaction between scientific theorising and folklore or popular assumptions, and second the ideological character of scientific inquiry. Topics of current interest in the philosphy and sociology of science illuminated here include the relationship between primitive thought and early science, and the roles of the consensus of the scientific community, of tradition and of the authority of the written text, in the development of science.
