Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Shortlisted for the Pickstone Prize, British Society for the History of Science"
"Feke’s book deserves a place on the shelves of historians of science, philosophers, and classicists alike."
---Marco Romani Mistretta, Bryn Mawr Classical Review"This important study will significantly improve our historical understanding of the originality of Ptolemy’s position."
---Alain Bernard, Journal of the History of Astronomy"The book can be accessed and appreciated with a little sustained effort. For those of us who practice the history of mathematics, Feke’s work is a nice illustration that our historical actors’ philosophical commitments often can be identified, and they can help us to focus our readings more precisely. It’s a good lesson, and well worth the endeavour."
---Glen Van Brummelen, British Journal for the History of Mathematics
