Аннотация: at a colloquium at University College London in 2003.No matter how precisely the organizer defines the subject to which such a colloquium is dedicated, the collected papers that emerge from it rarely add up to a unified whole; contributors go their own ways, sometimes with scarcely a nod to the theme that was intended to unify their efforts.The title 'Philosophy and the Sciences in Antiquity' is enormously capacious, and in itself points to no integrated set of questions and no one line of enquiry, so that readers looking for a cohesive treatment of a single theme may well come to it-in the words of Sydney Smith-'with no very lively hope of success'.In fact, however, the agenda set for the authors of these papers was more precisely outlined than the book's title suggests.The editor, Robert Sharples, explains it as follows:The aim of the present volume, and of the colloquium from which it took its origin, is to examine the relation between philosophy and the individual sciences from the perspective of the ancients themselves, in so far as this is possible.How did they understand this relation, and how did they make use of it in argument and debate?Considering this will also throw light on the process by which, historically, specialist areas of study of the natural world-'sciences'-became detached from philosophy and obtained an autonomy of their own.It may indeed . . .be more accurate to describe the process as one by which philosophy itself came to have a more clearly defined agenda.
