Extractions: Contents Updated: Thursday, October 12, 2000 The word "angel" is the Greek "angelos" meaning a messengersomeone who brings messages from God. The Hebrew is "malak." The Greeks had Iris, in Homer, who brought messages from Olympus to humanity. The Greeks also had Hermes or Mercury who also was a messenger, the Herald of God. Do Christians accept these as angels? And they had their own name for the lesser spirits that acted as messengers for the godsdaimones. Despite this morass of contradictions, Christians will claim to be monotheistic and still believe in angels. The angels they believe in appear to men at God's behest wearing a pair of large feathered wings on their shoulders and flowing robes. What is so odd about heaven that angels need wings? Or do they only attach their wings to fly down to earth? If God can make men walk on water why should angels need wings? Why do they
Extractions: The Democratic foundation established by the ancient Greeks Abstract: Our integrated project blends the subjects of math and history. Since two of our group members never bothered to show up these are the only two subjects we will be covering, with the two history majors focusing on religion and government respectively. The math portion will focus on famous Greek mathematicians. With the help of a special education major, we will alter the plan to cater to the needs of special needs students. I plan to use the week to explain how the ancient Greeks introduced a democratic form of government. This was a revolutionary form of rule in a world of dictators and tyrants. Throughout the week the class will learn about the origins of Greek democracy and its prominent figures. We will then compare and contrast the Greek form of democracy to the one used in our own government. We will also be discussing the possible reasons why democracy failed in Greece and if it seems possible for the United States to suffer the same fate. Names and Majors of the Team Members: Subjects Integrated: Objectives: Upon completion of this lesson, participating students will be able to note five key similarities between the ancient Greek democracy and the democracy of the United States.

Extractions: Agnosticism , doctrine that the existence of God and other spiritual beings is neither certain nor impossible. The term, derived from the Greek agnostikos ("not knowing"), was introduced into English in the 19th century by the British biologist Thomas Henry Huxley . The agnostic position is distinct from both Theism , which affirms the existence of such beings, and Atheism , although Agnosticism is technically a form of Atheism. Although usually regarded as a form of Skepticism , Agnosticism is more limited in scope, for it denies the reliability only of metaphysical and theological beliefs rather than of all beliefs. The basis of modern Agnosticism lies in the works of the Scottish philosopher David Hume and the German philosopher Immanuel Kant , both of whom pointed out logical fallacies in the traditional arguments for the existence of God and of the soul . Like Agnosticism, Logical Positivism rejects both Atheism and Theism, and maintains that metaphysical statements are meaningless. Analytic and Linguistic Philosophy , 20th-century philosophical movement, dominant in Britain and the United States since World War II, that aims to clarify language and analyse the concepts expressed in it. Versions of the movement have been given a variety of designations, including "linguistic analysis", "logical empiricism", "logical positivism", "Cambridge analysis", and "Oxford philosophy". The last two labels are derived from the English universities where this philosophical method has been particularly influential. Although no specific doctrines or tenets are accepted by the movement as a whole, analytic and linguistic philosophers mostly agree that the proper activity of philosophy is clarifying language, or, as some prefer, clarifying concepts. The aim of this activity is to settle philosophical disputes and resolve philosophical problems, which, it is often argued, originate in linguistic confusion. See also

Extractions: The Writings of Thales Doubts have always existed about whether Thales wrote anything, but a number of ancient reports credit him with writings. Simplicius (Diels, Dox. p. 475) specifically attributed to Thales authorship of the so-called Nautical Star-guide. Diogenes Laertius raised doubts about authenticity, but wrote that 'according to others [Thales] wrote nothing but two treatises, one On the Solstice and one On the Equinox ' (D.L. I.23). Lobon of Argus asserted that the writings of Thales amounted to two hundred lines (D.L. I.34), and Plutarch associated Thales with opinions and accounts expressed in verse (Plutarch, De Pyth. or. 18. 402 E). Hesychius, recorded that '[Thales] wrote on celestial matters in epic verse, on the equinox, and much else' (DK, 11A2). Callimachus credited Thales with the sage advice that navigators should navigate by Ursa Minor (D.L. I.23), advice which may have been in writing. Diogenes mentions a poet, Choerilus, who declared that '[Thales] was the first to maintain the immortality of the soul' (D.L. I.24), and in

When Theophrastos was chosen, Eudemos left Athens and set up his own school, perhaps at Rhodes. Edited Aristotle's writings. Wrote on physics and logic. Father of the history of science: wrote a history of arithmetic, a history of geometry, and a history of astronomy. The last two are cited extensively by later authors, the first only once.

Extractions: T he creation of the island of Rhodes, as Pindar tells us in a legend recounted in his 7th Olympian Ode, is associated with Helius, the god of the Sun. Once upon a time, so the story goes, Zeus decided to share out the earth among the gods of Olympus. Helius, however, was absent that day, and thus did not receive his portion. Upon his return, he protested to Zeus about this injustice. Just at that moment a most beautiful island began to arise out of the depths of the sea. Helius saw it, and at once asked Zeus to give it to him. Helius thus became the patron and protector of the island, showering it with the radiance of his light. He called it after the nymph he loved, one of the daughters of Poseidon whose name was Rhodos. T he legendary first inhabitants of the island are said to have been the Telchines, a demonic tribe endowed with magical powers and technical skills. They abandoned Rhodes at the approach of the Great Flood. The island was inundated, and only those who had taken refuge on the highest peaks were saved.

Extractions: Thales din Milet Nascut : aproximativ in 624 i.Hr. in Milet, Asia Mica ( acum Turcia) Decedat: aproximativ in 547 i.Hr. in Milet, Asia Mica ( acum Turcia) Thales din Milet a fost fiul lui Examyes si al Cleobulinei. Unii zic ca parintii sai sunt din Milet dar altii sustin ca sunt Phoenicieni. J Longrigg scrie in [1]: Dar parerea majoritara il considera un adevarat Milesian prin descenndenta si dintr-o familie distinsa. Thales pare a fi primul cunoscut filozof grec, totodata om de stiinta si matematician desi profesia sa era de inginer. Se crede ca i-a fost profesor lui Anaximander ( 611 i.Hr. - 545 i.Hr. ) si ca a fost primul filozof in scoala milesiana. Cum nici una din scrierile sale nu a supravietuit ,este dificil sa-i determinam parerile sau sa fim siguri asupra descoperirilor sale matematice. Nu este clar daca a scris vreo lucrare si in ipoteza in care a scris, aceste opere erau cu siguranta pierdute pe vremea lui Aristotel care nu a avut acces la nici o lucrare de-a lui Thales. Pe de alta parte sunt afirmatii ca a scris o carte despre navigatie dar ele nu au o baza solida.
