It covers the period from 800 B.C. to 600 A.D., beginning with myths concerning the creation of the world. It covers the cosmogonies of all the major Greek and Roman thinkers, as well as the debate between Greek philosophical cosmogony and early Christian views. It argues that Greeks formulated many of the perennial problems of philosophical cosmogony and produced philosophically and scientifically interesting answers." "The atomists argued that our world was one among many worlds, and came about by chance. Plato argued that our world is unique, and is the product of design. Empedocles and the Stoics, in quite different ways, argued that there was an unending cycle whereby our world is generated, destroyed and generated again. Aristotle on the other hand argued that there was no such thing as cosmogony, and our world has always existed."--Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 To 1500|2fast 650 0 Cosmogony, Greek.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh91005438 650 0 Philosophy, Ancient.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85100861 650 0 Philosophy and science|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85101000|zGreece|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80046090-781|xHistory|yTo 1500.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006121 650 7 Cosmogony, Greek.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 880590 650 7 Philosophy, Ancient.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1060860 650 7 Philosophy and science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1060832 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 7 Greece.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1208380 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGregory, Andrew, 1960-|tAncient Greek cosmogony.|dLondon : Duckworth, 2007|z9780715634776 |w(OCoLC)153556473 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=572727|zOnline eBook.
