N. Hiscock
The publication of Indra McEwen’s Review of my book, The Symbol at Your Door [2008] is to be welcomed for several reasons. That an exploration of medieval architectural design should be reviewed in a journal of classical philosophy and science suggests an encouraging breadth of interest in the subject and recognizes the interdisciplinary intent of the book. The Journal’s policy to invite authors to respond to reviews acknowledges that critics should be as accountable as the authors and publishers of the work reviewed, a reciprocation which is much needed and long overdue. Of obvious value is the opportunity to discuss matters raised or omitted by critics and the critical methodology used. All this is most welcome.
因德拉·麦克尤恩(Indra McEwen)对我的书《你门口的符号》(The Symbol at Your Door)的评论[2008]的出版受到了欢迎，原因有几个。中世纪建筑设计的探索应该在一本古典哲学和科学杂志上发表，这表明人们对这一主题的兴趣非常广泛，并且认识到这本书的跨学科意图。《华尔街日报》邀请作者对评论作出回应的政策承认，评论家应该像被评论作品的作者和出版商一样负责，这是一种非常需要而且早就应该得到的回报。显而易见的价值是有机会讨论评论家提出或遗漏的问题以及所使用的批评方法。所有这些都是最受欢迎的。

A. Barker
Robert Sharples’ Philosophy and the Sciences in Antiquity 1 collects the papers delivered at a colloquium at University College London in 2003. No matter how precisely the organizer defines the subject to which such a colloquium is dedicated, the collected papers that emerge from it rarely add up to a unified whole; contributors go their own ways, sometimes with scarcely a nod to the theme that was intended to unify their efforts. The title ‘Philosophy and the Sciences in Antiquity’ is enormously capacious, and in itself points to no integrated set of questions and no one line of enquiry, so that readers looking for a cohesive treatment of a single theme may well come to it—in the words of Sydney Smith—‘with no very lively hope of success’.

This collection of papers studies the Hippocratic writings in their relationship to the intellectual, social, cultural and literary context in which they were written. 'Context' includes not only the Greek world, but also the medical thought and practice of other civilisations in the Mediterranean, such as Babylonian and Egyptian medicine. A further point of interest are the relations between the Hippocratic writings and 'non-Hippocratic' medical authors of the fifth and fourth century BCE, such as "Diocles of Carystus", "Praxagoras of Cos", as well as Plato, Aristotle and Theophrastus. The collection further includes studies of some of the less well-known works in the "Hippocratic Corpus", such as "Internal Affections", "On the Eye", and "Prorrheticon". And finally, a number of papers are devoted to the impact and reception of Hippocratic thought in later antiquity and the early modern period.
