Note 32 — Chapter I · THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE ANCIENT WORLD
Reading edition
Berger thinks that Anaximander may well have believed in a spherical earth (Geschichte, 1903, p. 32, note 2, and p. 34); this opinion has not been accepted by recent students, who ascribe to Anaximander participation in the older doctrine of a disk-shaped earth (Stegmann, Anschauungen, 1913, pp. 14–15; Heidel, Anaximander, 1921, p. 246; Gisinger, “Geographie” in: Paulys Real-Encyclopädie, 1924, p. 543).
