    Extractions: aer: the arche , or ultimate stuff of reality, according to Anaximenes , was aer , a kind of light mist or vapour, infinite in extent, which formed the different materials of the visible world by processes of condensation or evaporation. aether: the light, bright form of matter which formed the sky or heavens, according to many Greek thinkers. Lighter and finer than ordinary air, it "naturally" gravitated towards the heavenly regions. Akrasia : literally, "lack of strength", "weakness". Normally used for moral weakness, i.e. for cases when a person believes they know what is right, but do not act on that belief. Anaxagoras: originally from Clazomenae on the Ionian coast of what is now Turkey, north of Ephesus, Anaxagoras moved to Athens in the mid-fifth century, where he became a close friend of the Athenian statesman Pericles, and did most of his philosophical work. In the late 430s he was tried for impiety, and though acquitted, left Athens for Lampsacus, where he died soon after. Anaximander (610-545 B.C.?): the second of the three so-called "Milesian" philosophers, remembered by later tradition as the earliest Greek philosophers. The evidence describes him as a pupil of Thales, which may be true, but his ideas are much more sophisticated and abstract.

Justin a été très diversement jugé. La lecture de son livre est sans fruit, selon plus d'un critique, et l'abréviateur Hénault va même jusqu'à traiter son devancier de ver rongeur de l'histoire, qui n'en a laissé que les lambeaux . D'autres, au contraire, ont su gré à notre historien de promener son lecteur de siècle en siècle, de nation en nation, et de tracer seulement une esquisse rapide des révolutions et des moeurs : ils trouvent à la fois, dans son ébauche, de la variété, du naturel et de l'éclat. Ces contradictions s'expliquent, comme la plupart des dissentiments sur les productions de l'esprit, par la différence des points de vue, et par la préoccupation qui cache tour-à-tour à des esprits prévenus ou les défauts ou les mérites d'un même ouvrage.

For Epicurus the aim of life was pleasure; the highest pleasure was absence of pain; pleasure of the mind was preferable to that of the body. The soul dies with the body, so we must not fear death or afterlife; the gods exist but do not concern themselves with humanity or natural phenomena (all of which can be explained scientifically); we should avoid public life and emotional commitments in order to escape the pains likely to be caused by them. The physical world was explained by the atomic theory adapted from Democritus. Stoicism . After the death of Zeno of Citium, the Stoic school was headed by Cleanthes and Chrysippus, and its teachings were carried to Rome in 155 by Diogenes of Babylon. There its tenets were made popular by Panaetius, friend of the great general Scipio Aemilianus, and by Posidonius, who was a friend of Pompey (see your textbook if you don't recognize these names); Cicero drew heavily on the works of both.

This most famous of ancient geographers was born in Amasia, Pontus, about 63 B.C., and lived to the year 24 A.D., living, therefore, in the age of Caesar and Augustus, during which the final transformation in the political position of the kingdom of Egypt was effected. The name of Strabo in a modified form has become popularized through a curious circumstance. The geographer, it appears, was afflicted with a peculiar squint of the eyes, hence the name strabismus, which the modern oculist applies to that particular infirmity. " 'Lifted up on the vast wave he quickly beheld afar.' Sailors as they approach their destination behold the shore continually raising itself to their view, and objects which had at first seemed low begin to lift themselves. Our gnomons, also, are, among other things, evidence of the revolution of the heavenly bodies, and common-sense at once shows us that if the depth of the earth were infinite such a revolution could not take place."[1] 1 (p. 258).

    Extractions: ERATOSTHENES T he man who first measured the world, the Greek astronomer Eratosthenes (c. 276-196 B.C.), lived in Alexandria during the 3rd century B.C. He noticed that on the first day of summer in Syene (now Aswan), Egypt, the Sun appeared directly overhead at noon. At the same time in Alexandria, however, the Sun appeared slightly south (about 7 degrees) of the zenith. Knowing the distance between Syene and Alexandria and assuming that the Sun’s rays were parallel when they struck the curved Earth, he calculated the size of our planet using simple geometry. His result, about 25,000 miles for the circumference, proved remarkably accurate. Eratosthenes wasn’t the only Greek who tried to measure the Earth. About a century later, Posidonius copied this feat, using the star Canopus as his light source and the cities of Rhodes and Alexandria as his baseline. Although his technique was sound, he had the wrong value for the distance between Rhodes and Alexandria, so his circumference came out too small. Ptolemy recorded this smaller figure in his geography treatise, where it was seized upon by Renaissance explorers looking for a quicker way to the Indies. Had Ptolemy used Eratosthenes’ larger figure instead, Columbus might never have sailed west.

Marcus Aurelius The Greco-Roman Moralists Cicero (106-43 B.C.) Marcus Tullius Cicero ( picture ) is one of the best known figures of Roman antiquity because of the public character of his career. Famed for his oratory and an important political leader in ancient Rome, his life coincided with the decline and fall of the Roman Republic, and he was an important actor in many of the significant political events of his time. His writings are a valuable source of information about those events. Besides being a brilliant orator, he was also a lawyer, politician, and philosopher. Although not entirely admirable in his own character (he was very vain for one thing), he shows us the real-life struggle between high ideals and human frailty.

We pass our lives in 'reading,'... but we no longer know how to read, that is to stop, to free ourselves from our concerns, to return to ourselves, to leave aside our quest for subtlety and originality, to meditate calmly, to ruminate, to let the texts speak to us. It is a spiritual exercise, one of the most difficult: 'People,' said Goethe, 'do not realize how much time and effort it takes to learn to read. It took me eighty years, and I am not even certain whether I have succeeded.'" From Pierre Hadot Spiritual Exercises , my translation; the Goethe quote is from his Conversations with Eckermann January 25, 1830.

Appendix 3 shows a list of all references in the ancient literature to Wind-gods and to meteorological winds. The cause of the weather was taken very seriously in ancient times, being a force of nature that was beyond human control save for attempts to influence its path and ferocity by magic, prayers and offerings. Men of a philosophical bent, beginning with the Presocratics, attempted to explain the weather in all its variables by the constant flux of the elements that they believed constituted the universe, in particular, air, water, fire and aether. Aristotle was the first of the second generation to suggest any serious causes for the inception of the weather, and his works
