Disciplines in the making

Lloyd, G. E. R. 1933-

Disciplines in the making cross-cultural perspectives on elites, learning, and innovation / [electronic resource] : G.E.R. Lloyd. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2009. - 1 online resource (224 p.) : ill.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

We tend to assume that our map of the intellectual disciplines is valid cross-culturally. Lloyd challenges this in relation to eight main areas of human endeavour, namely philosophy, mathematics, history, medicine, art, law, religion, and science, by examining how the disciplines were conceived and developed.
