De l'Arabie hellénistique, que savait Agatharchide ? De l'Adriatique romaine, que savaient Pline et Ptolémée ? Quelle image de Chypre donne le Périple de Ps-Skylax ou de la Gaule impériale la Table de Peutinger ? Pouvons-nous seulement les comprendre encore ? Le sujet de ce livre est l'écart entre les textes géographiques et la réalité qu'ils prétendaient décrire, entre cette description et le monde que nous nous essayons à reconstruire aujourd'hui. Dix spécialistes des Sciences de l'Antiquité exposent ici les méthodes qu'ils ont élaborées et les découvertes qu'ils ont pu faire au cours de cette plongée dans l'espace et dans le temps.

These studies respond to the challenge posed twenty years ago by John E. Murdoch, in whose honor they have been assembled: to interpret ancient and medieval mathematical and scientific texts not just as isolated intellectual productions but as responses to particular settings or contexts. Two broad settings are explored here: that of the wider intellectual culture, where relations among mathematics, astronomy, natural philosophy - and also theology, logic and astrology - are shown to have shaped individual texts; and the context of lay society, where institutional structures, patronage, even personal relationships impinged upon scientific writing. The volume reinforces the growing recognition that ancient and medieval scientific texts "made a difference" to their authors and audiences and must be understood in relation to topics like disciplinary identity, career advancement, lay interest, and practical applicability.

This 1999 book demonstrates a method for reading the texts of Aristotle by revealing a continuous line of argument running from the Physics to De Caelo. The author analyses a group of arguments that are almost always treated in isolation from one another, and reveals their elegance and coherence. She concludes by asking why these arguments remain interesting even though we now believe they are absolutely wrong and have been replaced by better ones. The book establishes the case that we must rethink our approach to Aristotle's physical science and Aristotelian texts, and as such will provoke debate and stimulate new thinking amongst philosophers, classicists, and historians of science.
