The Old Humanities, and the New Science (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between the humanities and the sciences, as seen through the lens of historical and cultural perspectives. The author, a renowned physician and scholar, examines the lasting influence of classical learning on our understanding of the world, while highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of Greek thinkers to the development of scientific disciplines such as biology, physics, and medicine. He eloquently argues that both the humanities and the sciences are essential for a well-rounded education, and that a true appreciation of one cannot exist without an understanding of the other. The author masterfully weaves together historical insights, personal anecdotes, and witty observations to illuminate the interconnectedness of these two seemingly disparate fields, ultimately urging readers to embrace a holistic approach to knowledge and learning. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330563144_0
