Filosofía teórica y práctica en Ptolomeo, Almagesto 1.1
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the Almagest 1.1, Claudius Ptolemy presents the classical division of philosophy into theory and practice, based on the Peripatetic tradition with different elements in its expression. In this division, Ptolemy privileges the theoretical realm and defends the study of mathematics as a discipline that entails a better predisposition of the soul towards beauty and ethical virtues. In the analysis of the preface, Ptolemy’s treatment of the issue is compared to those of Archytas, Alcinous and other authors.
