Reviews
Sir Geoffrey is at it again. He is still trying to bridge the ever-yawning gap between ancient Greek medicine and Chinese medicine, of which he is an acknowledged savant of the former discipline and an enthusiastic disciple of the latter... As anticipated, the author is at his best when discussing Greek thought, and here is where this book offers rel gems to the reader M. J. Geller, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute The issue of Geoffrey Lloyd's book in the book is impressive... In short, Lloyd has done a great job of summarizing debates in nine areas of contention. That is no mean feat. Joel Richeimer, Dao ...a rich, well-researched and eminently readable book. Cognitive Variations displays the strengths of multi-disciplinary research at its very best. Lloyd's breadth of knowledge enables him to make connections and see problems that more narrowly-focused researchers have overlooked...a very good book... Rachel Cooper, Mind Geoffrey Lloyd's book is the best recent overall summary of the state of play in the discussion of our social behaviour. Ian Hacking. London Review of Books
