Terms such as hodos, technê and methodos will be in focus. "I will discuss samples from the pre-Socratics, the Hippocratic physicians and Plato and Aristotle in order to outline the Greek concept of method. In conclusion I will compare the results with the Cartesian concept of method to give some idea of the specific Greek contribution to the philosophical discussion of method."
