    Extractions: Died: about 190 BC in Alexandria, Egypt Apollonius of Perga was known as 'The Great Geometer'. Little is known of his life but his works have had a very great influence on the development of mathematics, in particular his famous book Conics introduced terms which are familiar to us today such as parabola , ellipse and hyperbola Apollonius of Perga should not be confused with other Greek scholars called Apollonius, for it was a common name. In [1] details of others with the name of Apollonius are given: Apollonius of Rhodes, born about 295 BC, a Greek poet and grammarian, a pupil of Callimachus who was a teacher of Eratosthenes ; Apollonius of Tralles, 2nd century BC, a Greek sculptor; Apollonius the Athenian, 1st century BC, a sculptor; Apollonius of Tyana, 1st century AD, a member of the society founded by Pythagoras; Apollonius Dyscolus, 2nd century AD, a Greek grammarian who was reputedly the founder of the systematic study of grammar; and Apollonius of Tyre who is a literary character. The mathematician Apollonius was born in Perga, Pamphylia which today is known as Murtina, or Murtana and is now in Antalya, Turkey. Perga was a centre of culture at this time and it was the place of worship of Queen Artemis, a nature goddess. When he was a young man Apollonius went to Alexandria where he studied under the followers of Euclid

    Extractions: Reviewed by Stephen A. White, University of Texas at Austin. This century has been kind to the Eudemian Ethics. Ninety years ago, many scholars ascribed the work not to Aristotle but to his colleague, Eudemus of Rhodes. But as the millenium approaches, the EE enjoys new prestige, including admission to the ranks of the OCT's (under the sponsorship of Richard Walzer and Jean Mingay), a place of distinction in the Clarendon Aristotle (only Michael Woods' translation and commentary has reached a second edition), and intense scrutiny from many quarters, philosophical and philological alike. No one has done more to encourage this revival than Anthony Kenny. Fifteen years ago, in The Aristotelian Ethics (Oxford, 1978), he ignited intense debate by challenging the age-old preeminence of the Nicomachean Ethics NE ) and claiming ancient authority for treating the EE as the definitive presentation of Aristotle's views. He continued his campaign in

    Extractions: He was the son of Examyes and Cleobuline, distinguished Phoenicians. Thales was the first known philosopher, scientist and mathematician although his occupation was that of an engineer. He is believed to have been the teacher of Anaximander (611 BC - 545 BC) and he was the first natural philosopher in the Milesian School. However, none of his writing survives so it is difficult to determine his views or to be certain about his mathematical discoveries. Indeed it is unclear whether he wrote any works at all and if he did they were certainly lost by the time of Aristotle who did not have access to any writings of Thales. On the other hand there are claims that he wrote a book on navigation but these are based on little evidence. In the book on navigation it is suggested that he used the constellation Ursa Minor, which he defined, as an important feature in his navigation techniques. Even if the book is fictitious, it is quite probable that Thales did indeed define the constellation Ursa Minor. Proclus, the last major Greek philosopher, who lived around 450 AD, wrote:-

He was born about 624 BC in Miletus, Asia Minor (now Turkey) and died about 546 BC in Miletos, Turkey The bust shown above is in the Capitoline Museum in Rome but is not contemporary with Thales. Thales of Miletus Some impression and highlights of his life and work follow: Thales of Miletus was the first known Greek philosopher, scientist and mathematician. Some consider him to be the teacher of of Pythagoras, though it may be only that he advised Pythagoras to travel to Egypt and Chaldea. From Eudemus of Rhodes (fl ca. 320 B.C) we know that he studied in Egypt and brought these teachings to Greece. He is unanimously ascribed the introduction of mathematical and astronomical sciences into Greece. He is unanimously regarded as having been unusally cleverby general agreement the first of the Seven Wise Men, a pupil of the Egyptians and the Chaldeans. None of his writing survives; this makes it is difficult to determine his philosophy and to be certain about his mathematical discoveries. There is, of course, the story of his successful speculation in oil presses as testament to his practical business acumen.

    Extractions: Philosophy 2 ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL SCHOOLS Aristotle's work, constituting the ancient world's greatest encyclopaedia, has exerted an immense influence over the succeeding centuries. It is proposed in the context of the present section to trace the course of the several streams of thought which had their source in Aristotle. The school founded by Aristotle in the Lyceum in Athens in 335 BC long survived his death. Its members became known as the Peripatetics . Aristotle's immediate disciples, Theophrastus of Eresus and Eudemus of Rhodes, devoted themselves to maintaining and to developing his teaching without altering either its content or its spirit; but after them the school fell rapidly into a decline as far as philosophy was concerned, and thenceforward until the middle or later decades of the 1st century BC no one taught as Aristotle had done. Then at last Andronicus of Rhodes made it his business to bring to light the long-sequestered treatises of Aristotle, to classify them according to their subject matter, and to publish them. His edition started a revival of interest in Aristotelian philosophy, and numerous commentaries on these texts were produced in the last centuries of the Hellenistic Age.

Not much is known about him past what is read here. He was an accomplished geometer, but was thought to have been otherwise simple-minded. A more detailed biography can be found here 2. John Philoponus, also called Grammaticus, was a sixth century (AD) scholar of philosophy (and a Christian theologian) who studied the texts of Greek philosophers, especially Aristotle, and wrote commentaries on them. A native of Alexandria in Egypt, he comes at the end of the period of Greek progress in the sciences. 3. A lune is a figure bounded by two circular arcs. The term is very descriptive of the resulting shape. 4. We will analyze in detail Hippocrates' quadrature of a lune below. It is enough now to understand the sentiment alluded to in this portion of the text. For the first time, someone had determined the area of a figure with curved sidesin fact, circular sidesand it was thought that the techniques used for the quadrature of the lune might lead to the quadrature of the circle. Simplicius was another sixth century commentator on early Greek texts, notably on the work of Aristotle and Euclid. He was born in Cilicia, a Roman province in modern-day Turkey, studied in Athens at the Academy that Plato had instituted centuries earlier, and served for a time in the court of the Persian king.

About 600 BC Thales of Miletus , He brings Babylonian mathematical knowledge to Greece and uses geometry to solve problems such as calculating the height of pyramids and the distance of ships from the shore. About 530 BC Pythagoras no common rational measure is discoverable About 480 BC Parmenides of Elea founded the Eleatic School where he taught that 'all is one,' not an aggregation of units as Pythagoras had said, and that to arrive at a true statement, logical argument is necessary. Truth "is identical with the thought that recognizes it" (Lloyd 1963:327). Change or movement and non-being, he held, are impossibilities since everything is 'full' and 'nothing' is a contradiction which, as such, cannot exist. "Parmenides is said to have been the first to assert that the Earth is spherical in shape...; there was, however, an alternative tradition stating that it was Pythagoras" (Heath 1913:64). Corollary to Parmenides' rejection of the existence of 'nothing' is the Greek number system which, like the later Roman system, refused to use the Babylonian positional number system with its marker for 'nothing.' Making no clear distinction between nature and geometry, "mathematics, instead of being a science of possible relations, was to [the Greeks] the study of situations thought to subsist in nature" (Boyer 1949:25). Moreover, "almost everything in [Greek] philosophy became subordinated to the problem of change.... All temporal changes observed by the senses were mere permutations and combinations of 'eternal principles,' [and] the historical sequence of events (which formed part of the 'flux') lost all fundamental significance" (Toulmin and Goodfield 1965:40).

Along with Plato, he is often considered to be one of the two most influential philosophers in Western thought. The three greatest ancient Greek philosophers were Aristotle, Plato, who was a teacher of Aristotle, and Socrates (c. 470-399 BC), whose thinking deeply influenced Plato. Among them they transformed early (now, "presocratic") Greek philosophy into the foundations of Western philosophy as we know it.

Their teachings derived from that of their founder, Aristotle. Aristotle founded the Peripatetic school in 335 BC when he first opened his philosophical school at the Lyceum in Athens. The name of the school derives from the Greek word for walking: either from covered walkways at the Lyceum known as
