Extractions: Lives of Eminent Philosophers, Book X Diogenes Laertius Diogenes Laertius (3 rd Century A.D.) is the primary source for the surviving complete letters of Epicurus and for biographical and other pertinent information about him: Index: Epicurus, son of Neocles and Chaerestrate, was an Athenian of the Gargettus ward and the Philaidae clan, as Metrodorus says in his book On Noble Birth . He is said by Heraclides (in his Epitome of Sotion ) as well as by others, to have been brought up at Samos after the Athenians had sent colonists there and to have come to Athens at the age of eighteen, at the time when Xenocrates was head of the Academy and Aristotle was in Chalcis. After the death of Alexander of Macedon and the expulsion of the Athenian colonists from Samos by Perdiccas, Epicurus left Athens to join his father in Colophon; for some time he stayed there and gathered students around him, then returned to Athens again during the archonship of Anaxicrates [307-306 B.C.]. For a while, it is said, he pursued his studies in common with other philosophers, but afterwards put forward independent views by founding the school named after him.

Extractions: THE EPICUREANS Sources . Of the voluminous writings of Epicurus only a few fragments have come down to us, and these are for the most part unimportant. For the history of the school the most important primary source is Lucretius' poem De Rerum Natura . As secondary sources we have the works of Cicero, Plutarch, Diogenes Laertius, and the Aristotelian commentators. History of the Epicurean School Epicurus was born at Samos in the year 341 or 342 B.C. His father, Neocles, was, Strabo tells us, a school teacher. According to the tradition of the Epicurean school, Epicurus was a self-taught philosopher, and this is confirmed by his very superficial acquaintance with the philosophical systems of his predecessors. Still, he must have had some instruction in philosophy, for Pamphilus and Nausiphanes are mentioned as having been his teachers; Epicurus, however, would not acknowledge his debt to them, boasting that he had begun his self-instruction at the age of fourteen, having been driven to rely on his own powers of thought by the inability of his teacher to explain what was meant by the Chaos of Hesiod. He first taught at Mitylene, afterwards at Lampsacus, and finally at Athens, where he established his school in a garden, thereby giving occasion for the name by which his followers were known, . Here he taught until his death, which took place in 270 B.C.

Extractions: (Chapter 4: The Preaching of Stoicism) by E. Vernon Arnold (1857 - 1926) Two other companions of Zeno also took service under Antigonus, apparently at the same time. Of these Philonides of Thebes is otherwise unknown to us. The other was Aratus of Soli in Cilicia, author of the well-known poem The Phaenomena , an astronomical treatise afterwards translated into Latin by Cicero, and largely used by Virgil in his Georgics . The poems of Aratus had a wide influence, and were probably the source from which so many Stoic conceptions reached Virgil. The most interesting part for us is the Introduction, in which he interprets Zeus in Stoic fashion as the deity who dwells in sea and land, in markets and streets: whose family is mankind; and whose providence has set the stars in the heavens to regulate the seasons of the year and to be a guide to the farmer and the sailor. The spirit of this poem is closely akin to that of the hymn of Cleanthes. An eminent pupil of Aristo was Eratosthenes of Cyrene, the grammarian, whom he won over from the Cyrenaic school. Eratosthenes undoubtedly represented the spirit of his teacher and of the Cynic school towards which he inclined, when he vehemently repudiated the prejudice which then divided mankind into Hellenes and barbarians. He was invited by Ptolemy III (Euergetes) to be chief librarian of the Museum at Alexandria, and tutor to the crown-prince, and has left us an epigram in honor of this great patron of learning and philosophy. Amongst other followers of Aristo we hear specially of Apollophanes of Antiochia.

Extractions: Philosophy 2 ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL SCHOOLS 2.4.3 CRITICISM AND EVALUATION In a strict sense, Epicureanism is the philosophy taught by Epicurus (341-270 BC); in a broad sense, it is a system of ethics embracing every conception or form of life that can be traced to the principles of his philosophy. In ancient polemics, as often since, the term was employed with an even more generic (and clearly erroneous) meaning as the equivalent of hedonism , the doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the chief good. In popular parlance, Epicureanism thus means devotion to pleasure, comfort, and high living, with a certain nicety of style. Several fundamental concepts characterize the philosophy of Epicurus. In physics , these are Atomism , a mechanical conception of causality, limited, however, by the idea of a spontaneous motion , or "swerve," of the atoms, which interrupts the necessary effect of a cause; the infinity of the universe and the equilibrium of all forces that circularly enclose its phenomena; the existence of gods conceived as beatified and immortal natures completely extraneous to happenings in the world. In ethics, the basic concepts are the identification of good with

The manuscript title - e? kal«w §po¤hsen Svkrãthw mØ épologhsãmenow, If Socrates was right not to speak in his own defence - accurately reflects the content of the lecture. This is the first of a number of orations to take some aspect of the life and thought of Socrates as their starting point: see also Orr . 8-9 and 18-21. In the others, Socrates is used more as a convenient point of entry to a major issue in Platonic philosophy than as a topic of interest in his own right; here, however, he remains the centre of attention throughout. Thematically, the lecture belongs with the group devoted to problems of philosophy and civic life (see Introduction, pp. 00-00): compare above all Or . 16, in defence of Anaxagoras and the Contemplative Life. The writing of defences of Socrates was a popular activity, from the years immediately following his execution in 399 B.C. through to the fourth century A.D.

Extractions: By Michael Thomsen Euclid was born in approximately 365 BC and died in approximately 300 BC He lived in Alexandria, Egypt where he was a prominent and famous teacher. Very little reliable information is known about his life. Ironically, he is, perhaps, the most famous mathematician from this period. Euclid gained much of his fame from his treatise on geometry, The Elements . This treatise served as a basis for most of the teachings and study in mathematics for nearly two thousand years. One of the notable ideas in The Elements was the famous fifth, or parallel, postulate. This idea states that only one line can be drawn from a line to a parallel point. This idea became the cornerstone of "Euclidean" geometry which survived into the nineteenth century. The Elements was divided into thirteen books on a variety of subjects: books 1-6 dealt with plane geometry, books 7-9 dealt with number theory, book 10 concerned Exodus's theory of irrational numbers, and books 11-13 spoke about solid geometry. Another famous aspect of The Elements was a discussion and a thorough mathematical proof of regular polyhedra. In fact, the rigor of that proof served as a model for the people who later pioneered calculus. As remarkable as Euclid's works was, it was not infallible.

Extractions: ZENO OF SIDONZENODOTUS Russell, Principles of Mathematics (Cambridge, 1903), pp. 346-354. For histories of philosophy and other works upon Eleaticism see PARMENIDES. (H. JA.) ZENO OF SIDON, Epicurean philosopher of the first century B.C., and contemporary of Cicero. In the De Natura Deorum (i. 34), Cicero states that he was contemptuous of other philosophers and even called Socrates " the Attic Buffoon." Diogenes Laertius and Cicero both speak of him with respect and describe him as an accurate and polished thinker. He held that happiness' includes not merely present enjoyment and prosperity, but also a reasonable expectation of their continuance. His views were made the subject of a special treatise by Posidonius. ZENO OF TARSUS, Stoic philosopher and pupil of Chry-sippus, belonged to the period of the Middle Stoa. He appears to have accepted all the Stoic doctrines except that he denied the final conflagration of the universe (see STOICS). Among the traditions relating to Zenobia may be mentioned that of her discussions with the Archbishop Paul of Samosata on matters of religion. It is probable that she treated the Jews in Palmyra with favor; she is referred to in the Talmud, as protecting Jewish rabbis (Talm. Jer. Ter. viii. 46 b). The well-known account of Zenobia by Gibbon (Decline and Fall, i. pp. 302-312 Bury's edition) is based upon the imperial biographers (Historia Augusta) arid cannot be regarded as strictly historical in detail. An obscure and distorted tradition of Zenobia as an Arab queen survived in the Arabian story of Zabba, daughter of 'Amr b. Zarib, whose name is associated with Tadmor and with a town on the right bank of the Euphrates, which is no doubt the Zenobia of which Procopius speaks as founded by the famous queen.

Extractions: EPICURUS Excerpted from the 1911 edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica www.BenthamLinks.com/Epicurus The mode of life in his community was plain. The general drink was water and the food barley bread; half a pint of wine was held an ample allowance. Send me, says Epicurus to a correspondent, send me some Cythnian cheese, so that, should I choose, I may fare sumptuously. There was no community of property, which, as Epicurus said, would imply distrust of their own and others good resolutions. The company was held in unity by the charms of his personality, and by the free intercourse which he inculcated and exemplified. Though he seems to have had a warm affection for his countrymen, it was as human beings brought into contact with him, and not as members of a political body, that he preferred to regard them. He never entered public life. His kindliness extended even to his slaves, one of whom, named Mouse, was a brother in philosophy. Physics.In the Epicurean physics there are two partsa general metaphysic and psychology, and a special explaflation of particular phenomena of nature. The method of Epicurus is the argument of analogy. It is an attempt to make the phenomena of nature intelligible to us by regarding them as instances on a grand scale of that with which we are already familiar on a small scale. This is what Epicurus calls explaining what we do not see by what we do see. The attitude of Epicurus in this whole matter is antagonistic to science. The idea of a systematic enchainment of phenomena, in which each is conditioned by every other, and none can be taken in isolation and explained apart from the rest, was foreign to his mind. So little was the scientific conception of the solar system familiar to Epicurus that he could reproach the astronomers, because their account of an eclipse represented things otherwise than as they appear to the senses, and could declare that the sun and stars were just as large as they seemed to us.

This man lived in the time of the first Ptolemy; for Archimedes , who followed closely upon the first Ptolemy makes mention of Euclid, and further they say that Ptolemy once asked him if there were a shorted way to study geometry than the Elements, to which he replied that there was no royal road to geometry.
