Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the ancient Greek philosopher Plato's theory on whether the Earth rotates. The author argues that Plato did in fact believe in Earth's rotation, despite the opposing views of some modern commentators. The book begins by discussing the prevailing scientific understanding of the Earth's rotation in Plato's time. It then moves on to provide a close reading of the relevant passages in Plato's Timaeus, showing how they can be interpreted to support the theory of Earth's rotation. The book also examines the arguments of those who believe that Plato did not believe in Earth's rotation, and provides counterarguments to these positions. Ultimately, the book concludes that Plato did believe in Earth's rotation, and that his theory was a significant contribution to the development of scientific thought.
