WHEN THE EARTH WAS FLAT - DIRK L COUPRIE GEBUNDEN

This book is a sequel to Heaven and Earth in Ancient Greek Cosmology (Springer 2011). With the
help of many pictures  the reader is introduced into the way of thinking of ancient believers
in a flat earth. The first part offers new interpretations of several Presocratic cosmologists
and a critical discussion of Aristotle's proofs that the earth is spherical. The second part
explains and discusses the ancient Chinese system called gai tian . The last chapter shows that
inadvertently  ancient arguments and ideas return in the curious modern flat earth cosmologies.
