Science before Socrates: Parmenides, Anaxagoras, and the New Astronomy
Graham, Daniel (Abraham Owen Smoot Professor of Philosophy, Abraham Owen Smoot Professor of Philosophy, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT, USA)
In Science before Socrates, Daniel W. Graham argues against the belief that the Presocratic philosophers did not produce any empirical science and that the first major Greek science, astronomy, did not develop until at least the time of Plato. Instead, Graham proposes that the advances made by Presocratic philosophers in the study of astronomy deserve to be considered as scientific contributions.
