Description

Explore the evolution of human thought with When the Earth Was Flat: Studies in Ancient Greek and Chinese Cosmology. Published by Springer, this work serves as a sequel to Heaven and Earth in Ancient Greek Cosmology (2011). Through numerous illustrations, the text guides readers into the perspectives of ancient believers who viewed the world as flat. The book provides new interpretations of Presocratic cosmologists and offers a critical look at Aristotle's arguments regarding the spherical nature of the earth. Readers also gain insight into the ancient Chinese gai tian system. By connecting historical arguments to modern flat earth cosmologies, this study provides a unique look at how these ancient ideas continue to resurface in contemporary thought.
