Extractions: Decedat: 194 BC in Alexandria, Egypt Profesorii sai include pe carturarul Lysanias din Cyrene si filosoful Ariston din Chios, care a studiat la profesorul Zena, fondatorului scolii Stoic de filosofie. Eratostene a studiat de asemeni la poetul si carturarul Callimachus care de asemeni s-a nascut in Cyrene. Eratostene a petrecut cativa ani studiind in Atena. Biblioteca din Alexandria a fost planificata de Ptolemy I Soter dar proiectul a fost realizat de fiul sau Ptolemy II Philadelphus. Biblioteca se baza pe copiile lucrarilor din biblioteca lui Aristotel. Ptolemy II Philadelphus alege pe Callimachus, unul din profesorii lui Eratostene, ca al doilea bibliotecar. Cand Ptolemy III Energetes il succede pe tatal sau in 245 B.C il convinge pe Eratostene sa mearga in Alexandria ca profesor al fiului sau Philopator. La moartea lui Callimachus, aproximativ 240 B.C Eratostene, devine al treilea bibliotecar al Alexandriei, in biblioteca din templul Muzei, numit Mouseion. Se spunea ca biblioteca contine sute de mii de manuscrise, chiar daca peste tot erau carturari importanti , a fost considerat ca Eratostene nu a ajuns la cel mai inalt nivel. Eratostene a fost, intr-adevar, recunoscut de contemporanii sai ca un om foarte distins in toate domeniile stiintei, desi in fiecare subiect ajungea aproape

Extractions: Another proof that the Christ of Christianity is a fabulous and not a historical character is the silence of the writers who lived during and immediately following the time he is said to have existed. That a man named Jesus, an obscure religious teacher, the basis of this fabulous Christ, lived in Palestine about nineteen hundred years ago, may be true. But of this man we know nothing. His biography has not been written. A Renan and others have attempted to write it, but have failed have failed because no materials for such a work exist. Contemporary writers have left us not one word concerning him. For generations afterward, outside of a few theological epistles, we find no mention of him. The following is a list of writers who lived and wrote during the time, or within a century after the time, that Christ is said to have lived and performed his wonderful works: Josephus

Extractions: Duhem An alternative framing of the relativist-anti-relativist debate often revolves around the notions of empirical equivalence and underdetermination. In its simplest gloss, according to the relativist, a rational decision regarding the competition between two theories is radically underdetermined because these theories are empirically equivalent or can be made so with enough effort and ingenuity in terms of auxiliary patching. Pierre Duhem's To Save the Phenomena and The Aim and Structure of Physical Theory have been massively influential in this regard. In Aim and Structure Duhem hammers home the possibility of auxiliary patching in blocking allegiance to a naive falsificationism. In Save the Phenomena he highlights the continuity, from Plato to the Renaissance, of the importance of empirical adequacy, destroying with massive historical detail the modernist myth of the "scientific night of the Middle Ages," that empirical inductive science began with Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler. By showing the progressive continuity of the evolution of astronomy and physics from the ancient Greeks, through the Middle Ages, to the Renaissance, Duhem makes his famous plea that the aim of science should acknowledge the wisdom of Plato, Geminus, Ptolemy, Proclus, Posidonius, Simplicius, Maimonides, Aquinas, Bonaventura, John of Jandun, Lefevre d'Etaples, Osiander, and of course Bellarmine and Pope Urban VIII and all who "protested without letup against the realism of thinkers like Adrastus of Aphrodisias and Theon of Smyrna, the Arab physicists, the Italian Averroists and Ptolemaists, Copernicus and Rheticus themselves."

Extractions: Introduction TOP M arsilio Ficino, one of the greatest figures of the Italian Renaissance, was born in Florence, on October 19, 1433. He died in October of 1499. He was a priest, a doctor and musician, but is best known for his work as a translator of classic works, author and philosopher. Ficino, in contrast to Cornelius Agrippa , was fortunate in finding such exemplary patrons as the Medici family of Florence.
Pythagoras - Number stones. Composites were further distinguished as plane or solid. Heathquotes theon of smyrna (1st century AD) as writing of composite http://www.mathgym.com.au/history/pythagoras/pythnum.htm
Extractions: Introduction: The Pythagorean view of the universe rested squarely on the belief that Natural (counting) number was the key to the various qualities of mankind and matter. Since in their view everything was composed of number, the explanation for an objects existence could only be found in number. Elsewhere about this time, number existed for utilitarian purposes only, as a device for solving problems in calendar construction, building and commerce. It was the Pythagoreans who saw number as important in itself, the numbers themselves having "personality in a rustic landscape". The distinction was made between logistic (art of computation) and arithmetic (number theory). Kline [6 ] quotes the famous Pythagorean Philolaus (425 B.C.E.), as writing: "Were it not for number and its nature, nothing that exists would be clear to anybody either in itself or in its relation to other things...You can observe the power of number exercising itself ... in all acts and the thoughts of men, in all handicrafts and music." Pythagoras and the early Order initially treated number concretely, as patterns with pebbles, but over time the Pythagoreans developed and refined their concept of number into the same abstract entity which still exists today. Though it is difficult to separate fact from fancy in some of the surviving references to the Pythagoreans, it is generally conceded that they began number theory, and were responsible for the introduction and development of number mysticism in Western Society.
Silence Of The Hams Refuting Remsberg's List James Patrick theon of smyrna a mathematician and astronomer who wrote a handbook for philosophystudents to show how prime numbers, geometrical numbers such as squares http://www.tektonics.org/remslist.html
Extractions: Amateur skeptics like to pass lists around that they borrow from outdated and irrelevant sources written by kidney specialists; one of these is a list of writers contemporary with Jesus who are alleged to have been mysteriously silent about him. You'll find this list repeated on dozens of skeptical sites (and in Freke and Gandy's Jesus Mysteries ) with gloats and smiles stapled to it, but the ultimate source of the list is John Remsberg and his book, The Christ . While this long list of names may shazam the gullible ("Wow! Look at this long list of people who didn't mention Jesus!"), once you look at this list closely, you find several problems. Some of these writers did indeed mention Jesus (which Remsberg disputes; but see our rebuttals linked below); most by far, though, would have no reason to mention Jesus (because of the sort of things they wrote), and also did not mention Christians, though they certainly existed in the time many of these writers lived, even by the admission of critics like Remsberg and many of them also make no mention of Jews. (As an aside Remsberg himself was equivocal in his commitment to a Christ-myth thesis, using words like "possibly" to allow that Jesus existed.) The question Remsberg never answers is, "Why should any of these people have mentioned Jesus?" The list is presented flat, as though it is obvious that merely by being in the same century as Jesus, some irresistible and mytserious force requires these writers to make mention of him. As a reminder, let's bring up again Meier's reasons why someone like Jesus would not make it into the typical Roman or Greek history:
Freethought Today, March 1996, "Christ Killers"?, Hayes PhiloJudaeus, Pliny the Elder, Seutonius, Juvenal, Martial, Arrian, Petronius,Dion Pruseus, Paterculus, Appian, Phlegon, theon of smyrna, Persius, Plutarch http://www.ffrf.org/fttoday/march96/hayes.html
Extractions: Anyone who has read a lot of books about the history of the Roman Catholic Church will necessarily have read a lot of books about anti-Semitism. The Catholic Church's centuries-long persecution of the Jews has always been accompanied by cries of the epithet, "Christ-killers!" Those words are still spit out, even today, by hateful bigots. The Jews, accused of killing Jesus, and therefore killing God, were guilty of the most horrible crime imaginabledeicide. Just think. They killed God. This charge demands some scrutiny. The first thought that should spring to mind is: How can you kill a God?! Isn't that by definition an impossibility? But setting aside this major assault on logic, anyone even slightly familiar with ancient Hebrew law knows that if the Jews had wanted to kill Jesus, they would have stoned him to death. The Jews did not crucify people. The Romans did. That undeniable fact is skirted by claiming that the Jews arranged for Jesus' death and were therefore responsible for it, but they turned him over to the Roman authorities to do the actual killing. But how likely is this? Even if the Jews were screaming for Jesus' blood, why would Pilate automatically do their bidding? Who ruled JudeaPilate or the Jews? History leaves no doubt about that, so what was Pilate's motivation? Well, they say that Pilate was afraid that this Jesus might somehow start an insurrection, so he'd best be got rid of. But if that's true, then we're going to have to rewrite history.

Our next step, therefore, will be a historiographical investigation that will take us back to the beginnings of the study of architectural proportion as an adjunct to the Gothic Revival of the mid-nineteenth century. For the final part of the seminar, students will conduct their own proportional studies of selected buildings in Vancouver , with an emphasis on developing sound research methodologies. By the end of the seminar students should have a critical understanding of the subject of architectural proportion, of the architects and scholars who have studied it, and of the important role of this subject in the history of architecture. goals: 1) To understand the plethora of proportional studies in historical and historiographical contexts;
Claudius Ptolemy We suspect his teacher was theon of smyrna, who was both an observer and a mathematicianwho had written on astronomical topics such as conjunctions, eclipses http://www.stetson.edu/~efriedma/periodictable/html/Pm.html
Extractions: We know very little of Ptolemy's life. His name, Claudius Ptolemy, is of course a mixture of the Greek Egyptian "Ptolemy" and the Roman "Claudius". This would indicate that he was descended from a Greek family living in Egypt and that he was a citizen of Rome. Ptolemy definitely made astronomical observations from Alexandria in Egypt during the years from 127 to 141. We suspect his teacher was Theon of Smyrna, who was both an observer and a mathematician who had written on astronomical topics such as conjunctions, eclipses, occultations and transits. The earliest, and perhaps most important of Ptolemy's work that has survived is the Almagest , a treatise in 13 books. It gives in detail the mathematical theory of the motions of the Sun, Moon, and planets. Ptolemy made his most original contribution by presenting details for the motions of each of the planets. His theories were not superseded until a century after Copernicus presented his heliocentric theory in 1543. Ptolemy first of all justifies his description of the universe based on the earth-centred system described by Aristotle. It is a view of the world based on a fixed earth around which the sphere of the fixed stars rotates every day, this carrying with it the spheres of the sun, moon, and planets. Ptolemy used geometric models to predict the positions of the sun, moon, and planets, using combinations of circular motion known as epicycles. Having set up this model, Ptolemy then goes on to describe the mathematics which he needs in the rest of the work. In particular he introduces trigonometrical methods based on the chord function.
