Beschreibung
This book is a sequel to
Heaven and Earth in Ancient Greek Cosmology
(Springer 2011). With the help of many pictures, the reader is introduced into the way of thinking of ancient believers in a flat earth. The first part offers new interpretations of several Presocratic cosmologists and a critical discussion of Aristotle’s proofs that the earth is spherical. The second part explains and discusses the ancient Chinese system called
gai tian
. The last chapter shows that, inadvertently, ancient arguments and ideas return in the curious modern flat earth cosmologies.
