{"product_id":"in-the-beginning-was-the-adam-drozdek-9783515092586","title":"In the Beginning Was the Apeiron: Infinity in Greek Philosophy","description":"The book is a historical investigation of the problem of infinity in Greek ontology and physics - more specifically, the problem of the infinite size of the world and of its eternal existence, the problem of the infinity of worlds, of infinite divisibility of matter, of infinity of attributes or attribute modes (e.g., infinity of atom shapes), and the problem of infinity of nonphysical entities such as mathematical constructs. The view espoused here is that infinity was of paramount importance for Greek philosophers even if it was not explicitly discussed by them. It served as an unspoken assumption without which Greek philosophy could hardly be possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Drozdek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3515092587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783515092586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 1","brand":"Adam Drozdek","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48066384691455,"sku":"9783515092586","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_984dc4d1-153a-4655-8059-f70a6556712d.jpg?v=1768678191","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-beginning-was-the-adam-drozdek-9783515092586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
