Titel: Posidonius of Apameia, Ancient Greek Polymath
Untertitel: Siehe automatische Übersetzung
Posidonius of Apameia or Posidonius of Rhodes (135 - 51 BC), was a Greek Stoic philosopher, politician, astronomer, geographer, historian and teacher. He was acclaimed as the greatest polymath of his age. His vast body of work exists today only in fragments. Writers such as Strabo and Seneca provide most of the information, from history, about his life. For Posidonius, philosophy was the dominant master art and all the individual sciences were subordinate to philosophy, which alone could explain the cosmos. All his works, from scientific to historical, were inseparably philosophical. He wrote on physics (including meteorology and physical geography), astronomy, astrology and divination, seismology, geology and mineralogy, hydrology, botany, ethics, logic, mathematics, history, natural history, anthropology, and tactics. His studies were major investigations into their subjects, although not without errors. His influence on philosophical thinking lasted until the Middle Ages. Engraving by J.W. Cook, 1825.
