o( Klh/mhj puqagori/zei : Pythagorean Symbolism and the Philosophic Paideia in the Stromateis of Clement of Alexandria by Eugene Afonasin, Novosibirsk State University (Russia) Introductory remarks Tracing treks of specific philosophic schools in the mixture of different intellectual traditions of the first and second centuries AD is a kind of a task which both extremely rewarding and notoriously difficult. It is rewarding, for the treks if found contribute greatly to our understanding of philosophic paths of the individual figures, especially when direct evidence, and this is usually the case, is scarce and scattered all over different sources. But on the other hand, detective search for clues in order to highlight possible sources of a given author is a dangerous adventure which may easily lead to misunderstanding. For oblique clues and ‘striking similarities’ while (given limited amount of evidence) prove nothing, can turn search in a direction which brings the whole thing to the dead end.

Oswald Office Hours: TR 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. Office: COB rm. #259 Phone: 664-2465/2460 E-Mail: doswald@csubak.edu COURSE DESCRIPTION This course examines the pre-modern economies of the West from the ancient Greeks up to the dawn of the industrial revolution in the eighteenth century. It attempts to highlight in what ways those economies were or were not modern and to explain those differences that existed in the context of the cultures within which they were embedded. The course also examines the ideas that people used before Adam Smith to understand their economic world. Finally, it explores how those ideas dramatically changed during the course of the scientific revolution and how that transformation in thought helped to give rise to the political economy of Adam Smith.

Simply put, the theory suggests that the earth has two motions, a rotation on an axis and an orbital motion about the sun. Further, it maintains that the sun is central to, although not exactly in the center of, the orbits of all those heavenly bodies known as the planets, of which the earth is one. The physical reference frame used to determine the motions of this "solar" system is the frame of the fixed stars, bodies that do not appear to change their positions relative to one another. In this theory the dual motions attributed to the earth are considered to be in some sense real. The Geocentric View of Eudoxus Although not really interested in astronomy, the philosopher Plato had a great influence on the course of its early history. Because he perceived the heavens to be more perfect than the earth, Plato urged astronomers to describe celestial motions in terms of the most perfect of geometrical shapes, the circle. In fact, for Plato, the most perfect motion would be uniform circular motion, motion in a circle at a constant rate of speed.

Tradition and Faith in the Copernican Revolution JOSEPH L. SPRADLEY Physics Department Wheaton College Wheaton, Illinois 60187 From: Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith (March 1991): 36-42. A review of the Copernican revolution reveals the importance of nonempirical factors in its development. The writings of Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo show the continuity of their ideas with the Greek classical tradition and the connection of their work with their Christian faith. These human dimensions illustrate how cultural values, creative insights and personal commitments can be as important in science as empirical evidence. T he success of Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo in developing a heliocentric system of the planets led eventually to the dominance of empiricism in much of Western thought. Ironically, the champion of this new empirical emphasis, Francis Bacon, rejected the Copernican system nearly a century after it was introduced. He stressed the need to examine the data of experience without allowing any personal bias to shape the organization of facts. Bacon's inductive method seems at odds with the deductive method of Descartes, with its emphasis on rationalism; but both agreed that nature should be interpreted by rejecting the traditions of the past. An examination of the Copernican Revolution reveals that it was based on a much richer approach to interpretation than the rational empiricism that came to dominate the Enlightenment. Its success depended on such nonempirical interpretative elements as imaginative constructs, aesthetic criteria, and ethical commitments. It borrowed heavily from the Greek classical tradition and found fresh motivations from the attitudes and values fostered by Christian faith.

Older browsers and/or operating systems may not display the formatting correctly. last substantive content change AUG John Scottus Eriugena scottus th Scotia Maior scotti Eriugena's uniqueness lies in the fact that, quite remarkably for a scholar in Western Europe in the Carolingian era, he had considerable familiarity with the Greek language, affording him access to the Greek Christian theological tradition, from the Cappadocians to Gregory of Nyssa, hitherto almost entirely unknown in the Latin West. He also produced a complete, if somewhat imperfect, Latin translation of the Corpus Dionysii De hominis opificio and Maximus Confessor's Ambigua ad Iohannem , and possibly other works, such as Epiphanius' Anchoratus Eriugena's thought is best understood as a sustained attempt to create a consistent, systematic, Christian Neoplatonism from diverse but primarily Christian sources. Eriugena had a unique gift for identifying the underlying intellectual framework, broadly Neoplatonic but also deeply Christian, assumed by the writers of the Christian East. Drawing especially on Basil, Gregory of Nyssa, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, Maximus Confessor, as well as on the more familiar authorities ( auctores unum et idipsum immobile Periphyseon Patrologia Latina CXXII I. 476b), engenders all things and retrieves them back into itself. Contrary to what some earlier commentators supposed, it is most unlikely that Eriugena had direct knowledge of the original texts of Plotinus, Porphyry, Proclus, or other pagan Neoplatonists, but he did have some direct knowledge of Plato (a portion of

Mathematician Report Index Below is a list of mathematicians. You may choose from this list or report on a mathematician not listed here. In either case, you must discuss with me the mathematician you have chosen prior to starting your report. No two students may write a report on the same mathematician. I would advise you to go to the library before choosing your topic as there might not be much information on the mathematician you have chosen. Also, you should determine the topic early in the term so that you can "lock-in" your report topic!! The report must include: 1. The name of the mathematician. 2. The years the mathematician was alive. 3. A biography. 4. The mathematician's major contribution(s) to mathematics and an explanation of the importance. 5. A historical perspective during the time the mathematician was alive. Some suggestions on the historical perspective might be: (a) Any wars etc. (b) Scientific breakthroughs of the time (c) Major discoveries of the time (d) How did this mathematician change history etc.

72. Galileo The Copernican while Copernicus had returned to Aristarchus, Fracastoro had reverted to Eudoxus and Aristotle, and Tycho Brahe had revised the views of heraclides of pontus. http://www.iac.es/project/galileo/neo/esabstplenashearev.html

Galileo the Copernican William Shea Université Louis Pasteur Strasbourg. France Nicolaus Copernicus'epoch-making De Revolutionibus Orbium Caelestium was published in 1543, and when Galileo, some fifty years later, became interested in astronomical problems, the heliocentric theory was no longer a novel idea. It was common knowledge in educated circles that several Humanists had tried to establish the genuine world-picture by returning to the Ancients. They had sought help from Ptolemy, and when he had failed to give them the required assistance, they had taken the next step of examining those notions of Greek astronomy which the Ptolemaic system had replaced. Thus, while Copernicus had returned to Aristarchus, Fracastoro had reverted to Eudoxus and Aristotle, and Tycho Brahe had revised the views of Heraclides of Pontus. The great astronomical controversy of the sixteenth century was fought by scholars over ideas which they often believed daring and revolutionary but hardly ever original. Things changed with Galileo's succession of telescopic discoveries: the rugged surface of the Moon, the existence of hitherto unknown stars, the nature of the Milky Way, the satellites of Jupiter, and the phases of Venus. But the battle was by no means won. A mere looking-glass could not dispel a theory about the structure of the world. The case had to be argued and we shall try to show in this paper how brilliantly this was done by Galileo in his Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems of 1632.

Clement of Alexandria, Exhortation the Greeks V-VI Chapter V.-The Opinions of the Philosophers Respecting God. This was also the case with Heraclitus and his followers, who worshipped fire as the first cause; for this fire others named Hephaestus. The Persian Magi, too, and many of the inhabitants of Asia, worshipped fire; and besides them, the Macedonians, as Diogenes relates in the first book of his Persica. Why specify the Sauromatae, who are said by Nymphodorus, in his Barbaric Customs, to pay sacred honours to fire? or the Persians, or the Medes, or the Magi? These, Dino tells us, sacrifice beneath the open sky, regarding fire and water as the only images of the gods. Nor have I failed to reveal their ignorance; for, however much they think to keep clear of error in one form, they slide into it in another. Chapter VI.-By Divine Inspiration Philosophers Sometimes Hit on the Truth. Why so? by Himself, I beseech you! For He can by no means be expressed. Well done, Plato! Thou hast touched on the truth. But do not flag. Undertake with me the inquiry respecting the Good. For into all men whatever, especially those who are occupied with intellectual pursuits, a certain divine effluence has been instilled; wherefore, though reluctantly, they confess that God is one, indestructible, unbegotten, and that somewhere above in the tracts of heaven, in His own peculiar appropriate eminence, whence He surveys all things, He has an existence true and eternal.

BIOGRAPHIES Last update: November 25 th (myth) Sicily Lovers Hieronymus the peripatetic says that the loves of youths used to be much encouraged, for this reason, that the vigor of the young and their close agreement in comradeship have led to the overthrow of many a tyranny. For in the presence of his favorite a lover would rather endure anything than earn the name of coward; a thing which was proved in practice by the Sacred Band, established at Thebes under Epaminondas; as well as by the death of the Pisistratid, which was brought about by Harmodius and Aristogeiton. And at Agrigentum in Sicily the same was shown by the mutual love of Chariton and Melanippus - of whom Melanippus was the younger beloved, as Heraclides of Pontus tells in his Treatise on Love. For these two having been accused of plotting against Phalaris, and being put to torture in order to force them to betray their accomplices, not only did not tell, but even compelled Phalaris to such pity of their tortures that he released them with many words of praise. Whereupon Apollo, pleased at his conduct, granted to Phalaris a respite from death; and declared the same to the men who inquired of the Pythian priestess how they might best attack him. He also gave an oracular saying concerning Chariton - "Blessed indeed was Chariton and Melanippus, Pioneers of Godhead, and of mortals the one most beloved."

Search (Offsite search: excludes restricted pages) Tuesday 01 June 2004 8 April 2004 Dr Hans B Gottschalk Members will be very sorry to learn of the death, on 4 April 2004, of Dr Hans Benedikt Gottschalk, former Reader in Classics. Born in Germany in 1930, Dr Gottschalk came to England in 1938. He won a scholarship to read Classics at Peterhouse, Cambridge and, having graduated in 1952, proceeded to undertake research for a PhD, which he was awarded in 1957, on the criticism and development of Aristotle’s philosophy in the early Peripatetic School. While at Cambridge, he held a John Stewart of Rannoch Scholarship and The Charles Oldham Classical Scholarship. Following a spell as Sixth-form Classics master at Uppingham School, Dr Gottschalk was appointed Assistant Lecturer at Leeds in January 1958 and promoted to Lecturer in the following year. Dr Gottschalk was an outstanding scholar, with an international reputation in the field of post-Aristotelian philosophy, in particular the Peripatetic School and philosophers including Theophrastus and Heraclides. His penetrating acumen and exceptionally wide general erudition in the classical area fitted him for the exacting, highly complex and meticulous scholarship required to reconstruct, analyse and interpret ancient texts often surviving in only fragmentary form. Dr Gottschalk’s research produced a number of acclaimed books and articles; his first book, a monograph on Strato of Lampsacus, was published in 1965 and was welcomed as an important and illuminating addition to the knowledge of the Aristotle School after Aristotle’s death. Dr Gottschalk’s subsequent book, Heraclides of Pontus (1980) was published to glowing reviews, one reviewer describing it as ‘a little classic of exact scholarship, sober but imaginative, full of learning and judgement, pleasantly written and lucidly organised.’ These books were augmented by a series of articles and reviews, published in leading classical journals including Gnomon, Hermes and Classical Quarterly, which offered many new and original insights into their subject.

Greek Heraclides of Heraclea Pontus (ca. 388-315 BC) Greek philosopher who was the first to suggest that the rotation of the Earth would account for the apparent rotation of the stars. Until fairly recently, it was believed that Heraclides kept a geocentric universe but suggested that Mercury and Venus orbited the Sun (Heliocentric theories were rejected at the time of Heraclides because it was believed that the rotation of the Earth would cause falling bodies to be deflected westward.) However, Lindberg (1992) gives a wealth of recent references which clearly indicate that Heraclides's theories never espoused a heliocentrism.
