What Did The Romans Know? An Inquiry Into Science And Worldmaking by Daryn Lehoux
An Inquiry into Science and Worldmaking
A concise exploration of how ancient observers produced and stabilized knowledge, showing how practices of observation, record keeping, instruments, and communal standards generated facts across fields such as astronomy, medicine, divination, and natural history. Using focused case studies, it argues that these practices were rational within their own epistemic frameworks and challenges presentist judgments of superstition. The result is a study of science as historical worldmaking that highlights continuities between ancient inquiry and modern methods.
