John Cleary here explores the role which the mathematical sciences play in Aristotles philosophical thought especially in his cosmology metaphysics and epistemology He also thematizes the aporetic method by means of which he deals with philosophical questions about the foundations of mathematics The first two chapters consider Platos mathematical cosmology in the light of Aristotles critical distinction between physics and mathematics Subsequent chapters examine three basic aporiae about mathematical objects which Aristotle himself develops in his science of first philosophy What emerges from this dialectical inquiry is a different conception of substance and of order in the universe which gives priority to physics over mathematics as the cosmological science Within this different worldview we can better understand what we now call Aristotles philosophy of mathematics

The philosophers of Ancient Greece lived in a time when the gods were worshipped and the myths about them very much alive They were generally regarded as accurate and there was no scientific evidence at hand to dismiss them So were they believed This book explores to what extent the Greeks were able to question their own mythology This is done by examining the cosmology of their philosophers and what roles they allowed therein for the gods as much as possible according to their own words To the philosophers the quest to understand the world was neither made redundant by the mythology nor completely independent of it If they were able to express doubts regarding the gods as well as the myths about them and many of them certainly were then their contemporaries must have been able to grasp the same The Greeks were devoted to their mythology but not all of them blindly so Stefan Stenudd is a Swedish author and historian of ideas who specializes on studies of the patterns of thought in creation myths

The ancient Roman mystery religion of Mithraismone of the major competitors to early Christianityhas intrigued generations of scholars while frustrating all attempts to penetrate the veil of secrecy which cloaked the religion In this book David Ulansey challenges the prevailing theory that Mithraism is derived from ancient Iranian religion arguing instead that the puzzling iconograpy which served as the focus of the cult was actually an astronomical code and that the cult began as a religious reaction to a startling scientific discovery As his investigation proceeds Ulansey takes his readers on a fascinating journey into an ancient intellectual underground inhabited by a community of thinkers united by their belief that scientific knowledge could lead to salvation

Christians often claim to hold a biblical worldview But what about a biblical cosmos view From the beginning of Genesis we encounter a vaulted dome above the earth a firmament like the ceiling of a planetarium Elsewhere we read of the earth sitting on pillars What does the dome of heaven have to do with deep space Even when the biblical language is clearly poetic it seems to be funded by a very different understanding of how the cosmos is put together As Kyle Greenwood shows the language of the Bible is also that of the ancient Near Eastern palace temple and hearth There was no other way of thinking or speaking of earth and sky or the sun moon and stars But when the psalmist looked at the heavens the delicate fingerwork of God it evoked wonder Even today it is astronomy and cosmology that invoke our awe and point toward the depths of divine mystery Greenwood helps us see how the best Christian thinkers have viewed the cosmos in light of Scriptureand grappled with new understandings as science has advanced from Aristotle to Copernicus to Galileo and the galaxies of deep space Its a compelling story that both illuminates the text of Scripture and helps us find our own place in the tradition of faithful Christian thinking and interpretation
