Workshop organisé par Markham Geller, chercheur-résident de l'IEA de Paris, et Victor Gysembergh, CNRS, Centre Léon Robin de recherches sur la pensée antique.

Ce workshop se déroulera en anglais.Inscriptions obligatoires via le formulaire en bas de page.

Présentation

The innovative focus of the workshop will be on examples of ancient science which were not influenced by Aristotle but developed in other contexts and epistemes, from Pre-Socratic philosophy to the Babylonian Talmud. The main question regards
what motivated ancient science and how interactions between traditional disciplines may have influenced new thinking and innovation in ancient scholarship. Since innovations are easier to chart in practical applications of knowledge, as new technologies spread around the ancient world, the following examples of scientific knowledge will be of primary interest:
writing it down: scribal arts
figuring it out: astronomy and mathematics
looking for it: divination
making it work: alchemy
locating it: geography
manipulating it: medicine and magic
putting it into context: cosmology
