First edition. Presntation copy. Gaston Milhaud (1858-1918) was a French philosopher and historian of science, known for his work on Greek philosophy and the history of mathematics. His book Leçons sur les origines de la science grecque (Lessons on the Origins of Greek Science) is a fundamental study of the emergence of scientific thought in ancient Greece, particularly the transition from myth to reason. Milhaud explores the contributions of the Presocratic thinkers and their role in founding scientific disciplines.
