I have a fairly extensive Bibliography in my 'Beauty for Truth's Sake', which is largely about cosmology. I would recommend books by the Catholic physicist Wolfgang Smith (such as 'The Wisdom of Ancient Cosmology') and Seyyed Hossein Nasr (including 'Religion and the Order of Nature'). Go to woodenbooks.com for a 'Quadrivium' textbook and take a look at their other wares. Michael Schneider's 'A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe' is excellent (see his website of the same name), and if cosmological geometry interests you try John Michell's 'How the World Is Made'. That should do for now!Stratford Caldecotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239053224257881002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41720933115310331.post-90294860300442920082012-02-13T22:28:46.918+00:002012-02-13T22:28:46.918+00:00I saw this post on another blog and posted the fol...I saw this post on another blog and posted the following comments there but realising this is the original, I thought it might get a better response here.<br /><br />This topic has been in the back of my mind for over a month. I read a comparison of modern science and traditional science by Burckhardt and then started reading whatever I could find on Ancient / Medieval cosmology, physics, medicine, etc. I've read Timaeus, (intros by AE Taylor & B Jowlett) excerpts of Proclus' commentary, found some stuff online about Ayurveda and Unani, four humors, Galen, Hippocrates etc. Is there anything yo'd recommend as an intro to Traditional / Ancient / Medieval Physics?Peternoreply@blogger.com
