Extractions: C.E. ) For a brief biography, click here Abelard was a pupil of Roscelin , an 11c C.E. French monk of whom little is known apart from two outstanding students, Abelard and Anselm . Abelard and Anselm both attest that Abelard was a nominalist . Roscelin seems to have rejected nominalism, on the grounds that the whole cannot be equal to or greater than their parts. From this opservation Roscelin was apparently let to conclude that universals are not real. The whole, he held, is equal to or greater than its parts. This opinion inevitably led him to difficulties with Rome on the question of the nature of the trinity . He recanted under pressure in Rheims in 1092. Having studied there, Abelard to Pairs in 1113 C.E. . It was in the years following his return to Paris that he commenced his famous affair with the nun Heloise . Their secret correspondence is one of the great love stories of western literature, despite (or perhaps because of) the reaction of Heloise's uncle Canon Fulbert, who arranged for Abelard's castration and the incarceration of Abelard and Eloise in isolated cells. Abelard like his teacher was a nominalist . He held that universals arise from resemblances

Extractions: The Fractal Cosmos of Anaxagoras Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (499 B.C. - 428 B.C.). Greek, born in Ionia, lived in Athens He was imprisoned for claiming that the sun was not a god and that the moon reflected the sun's light. While in prison he tried to solve the problem of squaring the circle, that is constructing with ruler and compasses a square with area equal to that of a given circle (this is the first record of this problem being studied). I will provide soon more information and give now only a reference Abstract: The concept of a fractal cosmos occupies a prominent position in the modern cosmology. We trace the development of this concept from the presocratic Greece to the present state of affairs. In this first part we consider the original idea due to Anaxagoras and elucidate a number of points with regard to possible interpretation of his cosmological ideas. A comparison has been made with the cosmology of Abderian school and relevance to the modern cosmology discussed. LINKS Anaxagoras Fragments and Commentary
Socrates Searching For Scientific Explanations anaxagoras of clazomenae (c. 499 BC c. 428 BC) was born in Lampsacus. The Scientific Revolution started in the Ionian islands http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/SocratesCauses.htm
Extractions: When Socrates was young he was interested in scientific explanations of natural phenomena as he explains in Plato's Phaedo. He was not so successful and he was not happy because he could not provide the answers as he wanted. He was probably interested like Einstein to find how God's thoughts are. These ideas were then copied later by others like Einstein and Hawking saying that when we sometimes have a theory of everything we will know how God is thinking. What Socrates wanted was an explanation that shows that everything is done in an optimal way. The purpose of Science is to find why this is the best way. Could God produce something like the world that is not in the best possible way? Is our world the best possible world? Socrates in Plato's Phaedo: As I reflected on this subject I was glad to think that I had found in Anaxagoras a teacher about the cause of things after my own heart, and that he would tell me, first, whether the earth is flat or round, and then explain why it is so of necessity, saying which is better, and that it was better to be so. If he said it was in the middle of the universe, he would go on to show that it was better for it to be in the middle, and if he showed me those things I should be prepared never to desire any other kind of cause.

Extractions: THE GREEK HEROIC AGE History THE HEROIC AGE (Vth century B.C.) One of the most important personalities of this century is Pericles Athens attracted intellectuals from all parts of the Greek world wanting to satisfy their thirst for knowledge. Rather than coming up with necessary solutions to practical problems at that time, the scholars were more interested in developing their own personal intellect. This desire for wisdom lead them to focus their learning on theoretical issues. During this period the three famous (or classical) problems were dealt with and two methods of reasoning were put into use The table below lists the mathematicians who lived during this period and the problems that formed the focus of their study. Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (Athens) Hippocrates of Chios (Athens) squaring the circle or how to draw a square whose area is the same as that of a circle using a ruler and compass.

Notes On Anaxagoras And Philolaus Anaxagoras was born in Clazomenae, in Asia Minor; Philolaus was from Tarentum, in southern Italy. Both anaxagoras of clazomenae. Anaxagoras http://www.gmu.edu/courses/phil/ancient/anph2.htm
Extractions: Anaxagoras and Philolaus both lived from the early fifth to the late fifth century BCE; Zeno, Melissus, and Empedocles were their contemporaries. Anaxagoras was born in Clazomenae, in Asia Minor; Philolaus was from Tarentum, in southern Italy. Both had some contact with Athens: Philolaus was the teacher or close associate of some friends of Socrates (469-399 BCE, Athens); Anaxagoras had some association with Archelaus, with whom Socrates was reputed to have studied for a while. Anaxagoras himself visited Athens, and was forced to leave in 432 at the beginning of the religious/political anti-speculation backlash that eventually claimed Socrates' life. However, books by Anaxagoras were apparently readily available in Athens at least as late as 399; see Plato's Apology Like other philosophers of their generation such as Melissus and Empedocles, both Anaxagoras and Philolaus seem to have been responding to issues raised by Parmenides and Zeno - issues having to do with whether we can have a coherent account of what exists, or of anything, if we claim that multiple determinate (discrete, identifiable) things exist. Like Empedocles, Anaxagoras and Philolaus do think that it is possible to provide an account of the cosmos in familiar terms, that it is possible to explain what the cosmos is, how it got that way, how there could be multiple things of the types we say exist (rocks, trees, rain), how changes or apparent changes occur, and what goes on when things appear to be generated or destroyed.

Extractions: Previous (Alphabetically) Next Welcome page Anaxagoras was an Ionian who was the first to introduce philosophy to Athenians. He moved to Athens in about 480 BC. In about 450 BC he was imprisoned for claiming that the Sun was not a god and that the Moon reflected the Sun's light. Russell in [5] writes:- The citizens of Athens ... passed a law permitting impeachment of those who did not practice religion and taught theories about 'the things on high'. Under this law they persecuted Anaxagoras, who was accused of teaching that the sun was a red-hot stone and the moon was earth. While in prison he tried to solve the problem of squaring the circle, that is constructing with ruler and compasses a square with area equal to that of a given circle. This is the first record of this problem being studied. Anaxagoras was saved from prison by Pericles but had to leave Athens. He returned to Ionia where he founded a school. The anniversary of his death became a holiday for schoolchildren.

Philosophical Dictionary: Ambiguity-Anselm anaxagoras of clazomenae (500428 BCE). Presocratic philosopher who taught Pericles and Euripides at Athens, leaving fragments of his philosophical work. http://www.philosophypages.com/dy/a4.htm
Extractions: ambiguity The presence of two or more distinct meanings for a single word or expression. In itself, ambiguity is a common, harmless, and often amusing feature of ordinary language. When unnoticed in the context of otherwise careful reasoning, however, it can lead to one of several informal fallacies Example: "I'll give you a ring tomorrow." could signify either the promise of a gift of jewelry or merely an intention to telephone.

The Sophists He was associated with the great sophist Protagoras of Abdera and two important Presocratics Zeno of Elea and anaxagoras of clazomenae. http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb/netshots/sophists.htm
Extractions: Philosophical Background of the Fifth Century B.C. From as early as the sixth century B.C., thinkers in Ionia and elsewhere in the Greek world were speculating about what the universe was made of and how it came to assume its present form. These thinkers are conventionally called Presocratics This was the beginning of Greek philosophy ('the love of wisdom'), which first took root in Ionian Miletus, a prosperous city on the coast of Asia Minor. The names of three Milesian philosophers are known to us: Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, who are generally called 'the Milesians'. We know of their teachings not first hand from their own works, which have not survived, but only from references to them in the works of Aristotle and other authors. Their main interest as philosophers is indicated by the term commonly applied to the Milesians and later Presocratics in Greek literature: hoi physikoi 'those concerned with nature ( physis )'. The
The Asclepion hear words of healing against all sorts of sicknesses, pierced through for a long time by grievous pains. (B112 DK) anaxagoras of clazomenae Another important http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb/consortium/demandgreekhippo.html
Extractions: In order to give their new ideas a firmer foundation, and to be persuasive to their patients, many of the writers of the Hippocratic treatises turned to the writings of the Presocratic philosophers, men who sought to explain the nature of the cosmos and the things in it in terms of natural entities and non-personal forces (today we would call these men natural scientists). Other Hippocratic writers vehemently opposed this trend, holding to what they saw as an uncompromising empiricism, based solely on experience, not on theory. Their debate underlies many of the Hippocratic treatises, influencing not only content but also the form of argumentation, which makes it important to consider this philosophical background briefly. In the following discussion, the fragments of the Presocratics are translated from the Greek text found in the standard source, H.Diels and W.Kranz, Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker, 6th edition, 1954, and identified with their Diels-Kranz number, abbreviated as DK). A useful source book for further background is G.S.Kirk, J.E.Raven and M. Schofield, The Presocratic Philosophers, 1983. According to tradition, Thales, a native of the Ionian east Greek city of Miletus (in modern Turkey), was the first of the Presocratic philosophers. Miletus was a large and cosmopolitan city, with long-standing trading connections with the states of the ancient Near East. He himself was probably of mixed ancestry (his family is said to have been originally Phoenician, and, like many Ionians, he probably also had an admixture of local Carians in his family tree). He is reported to have assisted the Lydian king Croesus in his war against the Persians, and predicted an eclipse that put an end to a great battle in 585. Thus he was probably active not much before the beginning of the seventh century.
