Book II - Chapter 23
1. One line of positive proof is based upon consideration of the opposite of the thing in question. Observe whether that opposite has the opposite quality. If it has not, you refute the original proposition; if it has, you establish it. E.g. "Temperance is beneficial; for licentiousness is hurtful." Or, as in the Messenian speech, "If war is the cause of our present troubles, peace is what we need to put things right again." Or For if not even evil-doers should
Anger us if they meant not what they did,
Then can we owe no gratitude to such
As were constrained to do the good they did us. Or Since in this world liars may win belief,
Be sure of the opposite likewise-that this world
Hears many a true word and believes it not. 2. Another line of proof is got by considering some modification of the key-word, and arguing that what can or cannot be said of the one, can or cannot be said of the other: e.g. "just" does not always mean "beneficial," or "justly" would always mean "beneficially," whereas it is not desirable to be justly put to death.

Pausanias Description of Greece, Book I: Attica
Pausanias, reputedly born in Lydia, was a Greek traveler (as well as Greece he also visited Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Macedonia, Epirus) during height of Roman rule. His most important work is the Description of Greece [Periegesis Hellados], a sort of tourist guidebook, which remains an invaluable text on ancient ruins. The Description of Greece survives in ten books in the form of a tour of Greece starting in Attica. The first book seems to have been completed after 143 CE, but before 161CE. No event after 176CE is mentioned in the work. Pausanias begins his description of each city with a synopsis of its history followed by an account of the monuments in topographical order. He also discusses local daily life, ceremonial rituals, legend and folklore. His main concentration is on artistic workd from the glories of classical Greece, especially religious art and architecture. That he can be relied on for building and works which have since disappeared is shown by the accuracy of his descriptions of buildings which do survive. For at Athens he discusses the pictures, portraits, and inscriptions recording the laws of Solon; the great gold and ivory statue of Athena in the Parthenon; and the monuments to famous men and of Athenians who died in battle.

VPNEWS PARTING THOUGHTS (II) To continue from where we left off last time, Vigyan Prasar can really make a difference to the overall science popularisation scene in the country! It has all the essential ingredients, in the form of major programmes/efforts, I mentioned last time, to transform itself into a powerhouse of incredible and unimaginable strengths capable of delivering unheard of results! Each one of the VP's major programmes referred to earlier, if handled appropriately, could develop into an independent, self-sustaining entity in its own right, under the overall VP umbrella, with greatly enhanced output. What would that mean in terms of the goals we are seeking to achieve? Vigyan Prasar books would also be distributed worldwide in many countries and also in many other non-Indian languages. Dream-2047 would develop into a very popular science magazine with a large circulation and several other language editions, besides Hindi and English. .

Greek David Potter The text is inscribed on two faces of a marble block. Face A, which contains the first part of the decree, is so badly damaged (it was used for some time as a garden ramp by the farmers who found it) that about 40 lines can no longer be read at all, and another 20 lines can only be read with great difficulty. The text of face B is very well preserved.
The translation and commentary are based on Ph. Gauthier and M.B. Hatzopoulos, La loi gymnasiarchique de Beroia (Athens, 1993).
A number of references are given to other inscriptions according to edition. If you are interested in following up any of these, please talk to your TA. Face A

Chapter 23  
For if not even evil-doers should
Anger us if they meant not what they did,
Then can we owe no gratitude to such
As were constrained to do the good they did us. Or-   Since in this world liars may win belief,
Be sure of the opposite likewise-that this world
Hears many a true word and believes it not.   to which question Alcmaeon in reply says,   Why, there are two things to examine here.   And when Alphesiboea asks what he means, he rejoins:   They judged her fit to die, not me to slay her. Again there is the lawsuit about Demosthenes and the men who killed  Nicanor; as they were judged to have killed him justly, it was thought  that he was killed justly. And in the case of the man who was killed  at Thebes, the judges were requested to decide whether it was unjust  that he should be killed, since if it was not, it was argued that it  could not have been unjust to kill him. Thou hast pity for thy sire, who has lost his sons:
Hast none for Oeneus, whose brave son is dead? 15. Another line of argument is this: The things people approve of  openly are not those which they approve of secretly: openly, their  chief praise is given to justice and nobleness; but in their hearts  they prefer their own advantage. Try, in face of this, to establish  the point of view which your opponent has not adopted. This is the  most effective of the forms of argument that contradict common  opinion.

Calipo de Cízico
© 2002. Carlos Andrés Carvajal T.
Astrónomo Autodidacta.
Nació en Cyzicus Asia Menor aproximadamente el 370 a.C. y murió hacia el 310 a.C. y se tiene noticia que Callippus de Cyzicus trabajo con Aristóteles hacia 330 a.C. Estudió en la escuela de Eudoxo y realizó observaciones astronómicas en el Helesponto. Su trabajo con Aristóteles en parte consistió en corregir y completar los descubrimientos de Eudoxo. Realizó determinaciones precisas sobre la duración de las estaciones y construyó un ciclo de 76 años que comprendían 940 meses para armonizar los años lunares y solares, este calendario fue adoptado en el 330 a.C. y utilizado por astrónomos posteriores. El calendario de Calipo esta basado en el periodo metódico ( siete años de 13 meses lunares y doce años de 12 meses lunares), diseñado por Metón (nacido alrededor del 460 a.C). El periodo Calípico es un ciclo de 4 periodos metónicos siendo mas preciso que este porque corregía la duración del año (365.25 días) que tenia un error en los cálculos de Metón (365 días). De esta manera el ciclo Calípico comprendía 4 x 235 días, o 940 meses lunares reduciendo la duración de los cuatro ciclos metónicos en un día. El total de días entonces quedó en (441 x 29) + (499 x 30), o 27,759 y 27,759 / (19 x 4) da 365.25 días. De esta manera Calipo hizo coincidir 940 meses lunares con 76 años tropicales de 365.25 días. Calipo en asocio a Aristóteles introdujo un sistema de 34 esferas para explicar el movimiento de los cuerpos celestes. El Sol, la Luna, Mercurio, Venus y Marte cada uno tenía cinco esferas, mientras que Júpiter, Saturno tenían 4 y las estrellas una. Esta adición de una esfera al sistema de Eudoxo aumentó la precisión de la teoría que exponía que los planetas se movían en círculo perfectos.

Next: About this document
Eudoxus of Cnidus Eudoxus (c. 400 B.C.) is the greatest of the ancient mathematicians, surpassed only by Archimedes but later. Biographical highlights:
  • Eudoxus was born in Cnidos, on the Black Sea.
  • He studied mathematics with Archytus in Tarentum.
  • He studied medicine with Philistium on Sicily.
  • At 23 years he went to Plato's academy in Athens to study philosophy and rhetoric.
  • Some time later he went to Egypt to learn astronomy at Helopolis.
  • He established a school at Cyzicus on the sea of Marmora and had many pupils.
  • In 365 B. C. he returned to Athens with his pupils. He became a colleague of Plato.
  • At the age of 53 he died in Cnidos, highly honored as a lawgiver.
  • He was the leading mathematician and astronomer of his day.
Eudoxus was the most reknown astronomer and mathematician of his day. In astronomy devised an ingenious planetary system based on spheres.
The spherical earth is at rest at the center.
Around this center, 27 concentric spheres rotate.
The exterior one caries the fixed stars,
The others account for the sun, moon, and five planets.

M.R. James-Translation and Notes

Introduction
The length of this book is given in the Stichometry of Nicephorus as 2,500 lines: the same number as for St. Matthew's Gospel. We have large portions of it in the original, and a Latin version (purged, it is important to note, of all traces of unorthodoxy) of some lost episodes, besides a few scattered fragments. These will be fitted together in what seems the most probable order. The best edition of the Greek remains is in Bonnet, Acta Apost. Apocr. 11.1, 1898: the Latin is in Book V of the Historia Apostolica of Abdias (Fabricius, Cod. Apoer. N. T.: there is no modern edition). Leaving for the time certain small fragments which may perhaps have preceded the extant episodes, I proceed to the first long episode (Bonnet, c. 18). [John is going from Miletus to Ephesus.) Text 18 Now John was hastening to Ephesus, moved thereto by a vision. Damonicus therefore, and Aristodemus his kinsman, and a certain very rich man Cleobius, and the wife of Marcellus, hardly prevailed to keep him for one day in Miletus, reposing themselves with him. And when very early in the morning they had set forth, and already about four miles of the journey were accomplished, a voice came from heaven in the hearing of all of us, saying: John, thou art about to give glory to thy Lord in Ephesus, whereof thou shalt know, thou and all the brethren that are with thee, and certain of them that are there, which shall believe by thy means. John therefore pondered, rejoicing in himself, what it should be that should befall (meet) him at Ephesus, and said: Lord, behold I go according to thy will: let that be done which thou desirest.

Email: hmendel@calstatela.edu TEACHING INTERESTS I mostly teach ancient philosophy. However, I also teach annually a course in the history of the philosophy of science, which focuses on astronomy and mathematics. This course uses lots of graphics to illustrate Greek mathematics and astronomy, and spread sheets to illustrate Babylonian astronomy. Some of this I shall add to this WEB site; others are available on a CD-ROM (Mac) I enjoy teaching logic. RESEARCH INTERESTS My principal areas of interest at present include ancient Greek philosophy (especially Aristotle), ancient Greek mathematics, ancient astronomy (especially Eudoxus). These focus on the relation between philosophical issues in ancient treatments of scientific problems and how ancient philosophers responded to those issues. Current projects involve Aristotelian logic, conceptions of relational quantities in Greek mathematics, infinitary arguments in Greek mathematics, the relation between first principles in Aristotle and in Greek mathematics, sources for Eudoxus, 4th cent. B.C.E. conceptions of astronomy, and Plato's Phaedo.

Plato of Athens (428 - 348 B.C.)
  • Two-sphere concept, Earth as one sphere, surrounded by second set of spheres - the celestial realm
  • Set task, according to Simplicius, of finding out "the uniform and ordered motions by the assumption of which the apparent movements of the planets can be accounted for"
  • Aesthetic argument based on symmetry; apparently reasoned that celestial realm was arrayed on perfect geometric figure, the sphere, with planets moving in perfectly symmetric plane figure, the circle
  • Generations of astronomers thought that planetary movements must be accounted for by combinations of uniform circular motions with Earth at center
  • The ultimate product of geocentric cosmology was the Ptolemaic system.

THE COMMENTARIOLUS
NICHOLAS COPERNICUS' SKETCH OF HIS HYPOTHESES FOR THE HEAVENLY MOTIONS
Our ancestors assumed, I observe, a large number of celestial spheres for this reason especially, to explain the apparent motion of the planets by the principle of regularity. For they thought it altogether absurd that a heavenly body, which is a perfect sphere, should not always move uniformly. They saw that by connecting and combining regular motions in various ways they could make any body appear to move to any position. Callippus and Eudoxus, who endeavored to solve the problem by the use of concentric spheres, were unable to account for all the planetary movements; they had to explain not merely the apparent revolutions of the planets but also the fact that these bodies appear to us sometimes to mount higher in the heavens, sometimes to descend; and this fact is incompatible with the principle of concentricity. Therefore it seemed better to employ eccentrics and epicycles, a system which most scholars finally accepted. Yet the planetary theories of Ptolemy and most other astronomers, although consistent with the numerical data, seemed likewise to present no small difficulty. For these theories were not adequate unless certain equants were also conceived; it then appeared that a planet moved with uniform velocity neither on its deferent nor about the center of its epicycle. Hence a system of this sort seemed neither sufficiently absolute nor sufficiently pleasing to the mind.

Introduction
This web page provides a set of JavaScript calendar and ephemeris modules for calculating geocentric luni-solar and planetary positions for an arbitrary calendar date and time according to the kinematical models of the Sun, the Moon and the planets described in the Almagest (also known as the Mathematike Syntaxis ) of Claudius Ptolemy ( c . 150 AD). The mean motions of the Sun, the Moon and the planets adopted in these modules correspond exactly with Ptolemy’s mean motion tables and the corrections for their eccentric and epicyclic motions are accurately modelled according to the luni-solar and planetary models discussed by Ptolemy in his Almagest As Ptolemy s tables were probably used most often for astrological rather than for astronomical computations, a table displaying the astrological aspects between the luminaries (and the lunar ascending node) with some other astrological quantities is also provided. At present, latitudes are given only for the Sun (this is always zero) and the Moon. In the near future, latitudes and distances will also be supplied for the other luminaries.
