The Study of Ancient Science at Stanford (cont.)
The department of Classics at Stanford also enjoys a close relationship with the department of Philosophy (which has always taken a strong interest in the history of science), with the Science, Technology and Society Program and with the Interdepartmental Program in the History and Philosophy of Science.
Stanford is now one of the best places in the world to pursue studies in Ancient Science. Because of the inherently interdisciplinary nature of the field, the decision was made not to make it a special track in the graduate program, but instead to encourage students to pursue their studies of ancient science within any of the relevant tracks: Ancient History, Ancient Philosophy or even (in some cases) Literature or Archeology. Students interested in research in Ancient Science are advised to contact Professor Netz.
