Ibn Sina and Biruni with S. Frederick Starr
The Medieval Podcast - Podcast tekijän mukaan Medievalists.net - Torstaisin
Experimenting, translating, and philosophizing about physics and metaphysics, biology and geology, two great thinkers from Central Asia stand out both for their achievements, and their completely opposite points of view. This week, Danièle speaks with S. Frederick Starr about the work and the lives of Ibn Sina (aka Avicenna) and Biruni, their contributions to science and culture, and the reason they outright despised each other.You can support this podcast on Patreon - go to https://www.patreon.com/medievalists
