"Greek Biology & Greek Medicine" by Charles Singer is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book provides a synthesis of the evolution of biological and medical knowledge in ancient Greece, focusing on the contributions of prominent figures such as Aristotle and Hippocrates. The work likely explores significant developments in Greek biology before Aristotle and details the advancements in biological understanding attributed to his teachings and observations. The opening of the text serves as an introduction to the profound impact of Greek thought on the emergence of scientific inquiry, particularly in biology. It begins with a contemplation of what constitutes science as a process of growth and an exploration of Greek contributions to biological knowledge, including early observations of living forms and the influence of art on scientific understanding. Singer emphasizes the foundational ideas that emerged in ancient Greece, notably, the anthropocentric perspective that characterized much of Greek thought, linking the study of biology closely with the study of humans and their needs. He sets the stage for discussing major figures in Greek science while noting the limitations in the historical documentation of earlier biological achievements.
