Cause and Explanation in Ancient Greek Thought by R. J. Hankinson R. J. Hankinson traces the history of
ancient Greek thinking about causation and explanation, from its
earliest beginnings around 600 BC through to the middle of the first
millennium of the Christian era. The ancient Greeks were the first
Western civilization to subject the ideas of cause and explanation to
rigorous and detailed analysis, and to attempt to construct theories
about them on the basis of logic and experience. Hankinson examines the
ways in which they dealt with questions about how and why things happen
as and when they do, about the basic constitution and structure of
things, about function and purpose, laws of nature, chance,
coincidence, and responsibility. Such diverse questions are unified by
the fact that they are all demands for an account of the world that
will render it amenable to prediction and control; they are therefore
at the root of both philosophical and scientific enquiry. Hankinson
draws on a wide range of original sources, in philosophy, natural
sciences, medicine, history, and the law, in order to create a synoptic
picture of the growth and development of these central concepts in the
Graeco-Roman world. (Amazon.com).
