Four Lectures Delivered at the Philosophical Institution, Edinburgh
Buchbeschreibung
In 'Alexandria and Her Schools', Charles Kingsley delves into the rich history and intellectual achievements of the Alexandrian school through four lectures delivered at the Philosophical Institution, Edinburgh. This school, located in Alexandria, Egypt during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, was a hub of learning, blending Greek and Oriental influences. Kingsley explores the vast array of subjects studied there, including literature, philosophy, medicine, geography, astronomy, and mathematics, all of which were collected in the great Library of Alexandria.
