First edition

Greek Science (Folio Society edition) provides an accessible and engaging overview of the origins and development of scientific thought in ancient Greece, tracing how early philosophers and thinkers began to explain the natural world through reason rather than myth. The work surveys key figures such as Thales, Pythagoras, Hippocrates, and Aristotle, exploring their contributions to fields including mathematics, medicine, astronomy, and physics. It highlights the Greeks’ lasting legacy in establishing observation, logical inquiry, and systematic thinking as the foundations of science, while also acknowledging the limitations and occasional misconceptions of their theories. Through clear narrative and intellectual context, the book illustrates how Greek science laid essential groundwork for later scientific progress in the Western tradition.
