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.
