43. Saturn And The Deluge IV, quoted in Klibansky et al., Saturn and Melancholy, p. 130. proclus diadochus, In Timaeo 32b. In his commentary to Euclid’s Geometry (I. 402. http://www.varchive.org/itb/satdel.htm

Saturn and the Deluge Following the rabbinical sources which declare that the Deluge was caused by two comets ejected by the planet Khima, and our interpretation of the planet Khima as Saturn, we begin to understand the astrological texts, such as certain passages in the Tetrabiblos of Ptolemy, which attribute to the planet Saturn floods and all catastrophes caused by high water. as is attested, among others, by the first-century Roman author Lucan. Many of the ancient astrologers were in agreement on this point. In a work entitled Speculum astrologiae, Cuneiform texts contain prophecies of a deluge taking place when a comet assumes a direction with its head towards the Earth. and, somewhat later, Plato. The elder Pliny wrote in his Natural History that it is well known that heavy rains follow transitions of Saturn. We recognize that the astrological connection between Saturn and catastrophes created by high water has a very ancient origin. References Tetrabiblos II. 8. 84. Similar statements may be found in Hephaestion I. 20.

44. Khima proclus diadochus, In Timaeo Vol. IV, p. 92 “The Stars” iii.1. “Saturn and Mars are the extremes and in opposition to one another . . . http://www.varchive.org/itb/khima.htm

Khima In the Tractate Brakhot of the Babylonian Talmud it is said that the Deluge was caused by two stars that fell from Khima toward the earth. The statement reads: When the Holy One . . . wanted to bring a flood upon the world, He took two stars from Khima and brought a flood upon the world. I have already mentioned that Rashi, the medieval exegete whose authority is unsurpassed among the rabbis, says that in the quoted sentence Khima means a star with a tail, or a comet. This explanation found its way into the works of several gentile theologians. Should it be understood so that two large meteorites fell from a comet and falling on Earth caused tidal waves? Instances when meteorites fell while a comet was glowing in the sky are known, and the classic case is found in Aristotle. Should a meteorite equal in mass to the one which by its impact formed the Arizona crater fall into the ocean, tidal waves of a wide spread would result, possibly circling the globe. Then are we to understand the Deluge as a huge tidal wave rushing across the continents? This picture differs widely from the story in Genesis, according to which water was falling for a long period from the sky and the waters of the depths rose, covering the surface of the earth. Mazzaroth is left untranslated.

45. Euclid Of Alexandria answered that there was no royal road to geometry. . proclus diadochus. Euclid of Alexandria, author of the most successful mathematics http://www.math.sfu.ca/histmath/Europe/Euclid300BC/EUCLIDMAIN.HTML

Euclid of Alexandria c. 300 B.C.E. "Ptolemy once asked Euclid whether there was any shorter way to a knowledge of geometry than by a study of the Elements, whereupon Euclid answered that there was no royal road to geometry." Proclus Diadochus Euclid of Alexandria, author of the most successful mathematics textbook ever written and with the exception of Autolycusí Sphere , is author of the oldest Greek mathematical treatise extant. More than half of Euclidís works have been completely lost, others surviving the ages only through translations and interpretations. Little is known about his life, yet his name and writings have managed to continue being a major influence on geometry for two millennia. Much of what is believed to be known about Euclid comes from Proclusí Eudemian Summary . Proclus states that he was a contemporary of King Ptolemy I Soter. (305 - 285 B.C.E.) Some students of his work have asserted that he was in fact, a disciple of the Platonic school and had studied with students of Plato , possibly in Athens at the Academy. Euclid was older than Archimedes (287 - 212 B.C.E.) and Eratosthenes and younger than

Elementen Propositie I-27 Indien een rechte, twee rechten treffende, de verwisselende binnenhoeken aan elkaar gelijk maakt, zullen de rechten aan elkaar parallel zijn. Want laat de rechte lijn EF twee rechte lijnen AB, CD snijden waarbij de verwisselende binnenhoeken AEF, EFD aan elkaar gelijk zijn (zie figuur 1). Ik zeg dat AB evenwijdig is met CD. figuur 1 Want, als dat niet het geval is, zullen AB, CD bij verlenging snijden in de richting van B,D of in de richting van A,C. Stel ze worden verlengd in de richting van B,D en snijden in G. Nu is, in de driehoek GEF, de buitenhoek AEF gelijk aan de verwisselende binnenhoek EFG [volgens prop. I-16 ]: wat onmogelijk is. Daarom snijden AB, CD elkaar niet bij verlenging in de richting van B,D. Op dezelfde manier kan bewezen worden dat ze elkaar niet snijden in de richting van A,C.

The Heritage Philosophy Philosophical thought has reached a high degree of development in ancient and medieval Armenia.The manuscripts of the Matenadaran include the works of more than 30 Armenian philosophers, such as Eznik Koghbatsi, Movses Kertogh (5th century), David Anhaght (5th - 6th centuries), David Harkatsi (7th century), Stepanos Sunetsi (8th century), Hovhannes Sarkavag (1045/50 - 1129), Hovhannes Yerzenkatsi, Vahram Rabuni (13th century), Hovhan Vorotnetsi (1315 - 1386), Grigor Tatevatsi (1346 - 1409), Arakel Sunetsi (1425), Stepanos Lehatsi (1699), etc. 'The Refutation of the Sects' of the 5th century famous Armenian philosopher Eznik Koghbatsi is the first original philosophical work written in Armenian after the creation of the Alphabet. Having the extention of Christianity as a purpose, he thoroughly criticises both the Armenian and the Greek paganism, the Persian zoroastrianism, the sects, etc. 'The Definition of Philosophy' written by David Anhaght (5th - 6th centuries) is the most important monument of the mundane philosophical thought in Armenia. It is one of the rare works that continues the antique philosophical traditions, widely using the theories of Platon, Aristotle, Pythagoras. At the same time many progressive theories on philosophy and logics are worked out. Many important theories were brought forward by the medieval Armenian philosophers. They regarded the primacy of sensually perceptible things and the role of the senses, the contradictions of natural phenomena, space and time, the origin and destruction of matter, etc. There are numerous interests about natural phenomena and their cognition in the works of Armenian philosophers. The 12th century scholar Hovhannes Sarkavag notes the role of experiment in the cognition of the world and advises to check the knowledge by the experiments.

Jeffrey C. Kalb, Jr. Thomism, Mathematics and Science By detailing some of my interests and writings, I hope to hear from those whose interests bear some resemblance to my own. I wish to thank Dr. Arraj for his kindness in giving individuals such as myself a forum for our ideas. My Road to Thomism I was born July 7, 1966. I studied materials science and electrical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. I graduated with a B.S. in materials science in 1988 and then received a M.S. in materials science and a M.S. in electrical engineering in 1989 while studying under a graduate fellowship from the National Science Foundation. Somewhat disappointed with the state of modern physics, increasingly hostile to its foundations, and lacking the patience of a good experimentalist, I elected to terminate my fellowship and take employment as an engineer in the semiconductor industry. In 2001 I enrolled at the University of Arizona, where I am pursuing an M.A. in classics with a philology concentration. As regards my work in philosophy I have no properly academic credentials, so my writing will have to speak for itself. I began to study natural philosophy in response to an insight that both quantum and statistical mechanics are ultimately unverifiable in the empirical sense. For the last twelve years I have expanded my study, branching into many other areas, primarily within the triangle defined by metaphysics, mathematics, and natural philosophy. My mathematical considerations led me to conclude to the existence of form, which is implicitly denied by Cartesian mathematical analysis and its progeny. As I was at the same time rediscovering and deepening my Catholic faith, I was led to St. Thomas as the Church’s doctrinal norm. I was fortunate in having picked up a copy of Etienne Gilson’s "The Christian Philosophy of Saint Thomas Aquinas." It was difficult for me at first. The terms were opaque after the first reading: substance, accident, essence, quiddity, prime matter, substantial form, act-of-existence

Gandhi's Seven Deadly Sins: Wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, business without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice, and politics without principle. Readers' Digest, July 1991 - Nothing befuddles judgment as much as success, and nothing clears the mind like failure-Paul Craig Roberts, Readers' Digest, Jan91,p158. - If you want truly to understand something, try to change it. Readers' Digest, Jun 91, p183 - A college diploma does not mean you are educated. Quite the contrary. It means that you have been opened up to a perpetual state of ignorance and thus a lifelong hunger for more-more ideas, more knowledge, more good thoughts, more challenges, more of everything. James Lehrer, Readers' Digest, Jun 91, p195 - Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable sub-human who has learned to wear shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house.-Heinlein in "Time enough for love", in the chapter entitled "INTERMISSION Excerpts from the notebooks of Lazarus Long": - This therefore is Mathematics, she reminds you of the invisible forms of the soul; she gives life to her own discoveries; she awakens the mind and purifies the intellect; she brings light to our intrinsic ideas; she abolishes oblivion and ignorance which are ours by birth.

57. Parallel_axiom.htm proclus diadochus (411485) wrote Commentary on Euclid while teaching at Plato s Academy. In his Commentary, he proves the following http://www.math.tamu.edu/~dallen/m629_03a/files/parallel_axiom/parallel_axiom.ht

Appendix: Axioms equivalent to the parallel lines axiom We consider a few of the many axioms equivalent to the original Postulate 5, the parallel lines axiom. Euclid's axiom: That, if a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, the two straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles. You will note that these axioms sweep across most of plane geometry, revealing the importance of this axiom to the geometry of triangles. Playfair's Axiom: Given a line and a point not on the line, it is possible to draw exactly one line through the given point parallel to the line. Playfair's Axiom was published by John Playfair in 1795 as an alternative to Euclid's parallel axiom. Playfair observed that he derived the axiom from Proclus. Proclus derived this version of the axiom in the fifth century. This version is also the same as Omar Khayyam's version from 1066. Through a point not on a line one and only one parallel can be drawn to this line.

Opening the imagination - expressing the heart The 'Zoroastrian' origins of the Chaldean corpus was much debated throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Patrizzi's criticisms notwithstanding, the name of the ancient Persian sage remained firmly linked to the Chaldean Oracles until the seventeenth century where, with Martin del Rio's 'Disquisitionum Magiacarum', Zoroaster and Orpheus are the fathers of a natural science bordering on black magic, though as the magician Agrippa was to point out, no religion is so full of error that it does not contain any wisdom at all ("..nulla enim religio tam erronea, quae non aliquid sapientiae contineat.." De Occulta Philosophia, 1533). If the Jew Elissaeus was indeed Gemistos Plethons teacher in the matter of the Chaldaean Oracles, it might be remarked why no mention of traditional Jewish mysticism finds its way into any of Plethons writings. True, much of what we now term Cabbala spread mainly from the west to the east, yet Jewish emigres in the Byzantine Empire were in communication with all parts of the Jewish diaspora, indeed Constantinople proved one of the most fertile grounds for the spread of the Sabbatean heresy two hundred years later. Gemistos seems therefore to have been either unaware of the Cabbala, or perhaps merely uninterested in the same fashion as he was uninterested in Islam and the Christian faith. Gemistos was intent on re-discovering and re-animating the pagan teachings of the ancient Hellenic sages and of theMagi, which he saw preserved in the riddles of his 'Zoroastrian' verses.

The present article was originally given as a paper on November 6th, 1999, at the Second International Conference on St. Gregory Palamas, Limassol, Cyprus, and published under the title, "Ho Dionysios ho Areopagites sta erga tou hagiou Gregoriou tou Palama", in St Vladimir's Theology Quarterly. DIONYSIUS AREOPAGITES IN THE WORKS OF SAINT GREGORY PALAMAS: ON THE QUESTION OF A "CHRISTOLOGICAL CORRECTIVE" AND RELATED MATTERS I. Dionysius Areopagites, Gregory Palama: Scholarly Controversy and "Christological Correctives" The works of Dionysius Areopagites have been controversial ever since Martin Luther's dismissal of him as plus platonizans quam christianizans The question of Dionysius' specific relationship to the thought of St. Gregory marks another arena of scholarly contention. That there was a relationship is undeniable. Significant sections of, particularly, St. Gregory's Triads are devoted to his debate with Barlaam the Calabrian over the proper interpretation of the Corpus Areopagiticum (4). What is at issue in the contemporary debate, however, are two closely related questions: first, was St. Gregory a faithful and accurate interpreter of Dionysius; and, second, what does the answer to that question say about either Dionysius, or Gregory, or both? For several Western scholars, Palamas was indeed a faithful disciple of the
