This book examines the origins of ancient Greek science using the
vehicles of blood, blood vessels, and the heart. Careful attention
to biomedical writers in the ancient world, as well as to the
philosophical and literary work of writers prior to the Hippocratic
authors, produce an interesting story of how science progressed and
the critical context in which important methodological questions
were addressed. The end result is an account that arises from
debates that are engaged in and "solved" by different writers.
These stopping points form the foundation for Harvey and for modern
philosophy of biology. Author Michael Boylan sets out the history
of science as well as a critical evaluation based upon principles
in the contemporary canon of the philosophy of science-particularly
those dealing with the philosophy of biology.
