Seeking to reassess Plato's views on how we might investigate and
explain the natural world, this book argues that many of the common
charges against Plato (disinterest, ignorance, dismissal of
observation) are unfounded, and that Plato had a series of
important and cogent criticisms of the early atomists and other
physiologoi. His views on science, and on astronomy and cosmology
in particular, develop in interesting ways. It also argues that
Plato can best be seen as someone who is struggling with the
foundations of scientific realism, and that he has interesting
epistemological, cosmological and nomological reasons for his
teleological approach.
