Extractions: Xenocrates of Chalcedon was a student of Plato who entered the Academy in Athens in about 376 BC. In about 367 BC Xenocrates accompanied Plato on his journey to Syracuse following the death of Dionysius I . Xenocrates left Athens with Aristotle after Plato 's death in 347 BC when they were both invited to Assos. Xenocrates remained for around five years in Assos. Plato 's nephew Speusippus had become head of the Academy on Plato 's death, but in 340 BC he sent for Xenocrates to return to Athens to prepare to become his successor. Despite Xenocrates having been chosen to head the Academy by Speusippus, an election took place to find a successor to Speusippus after his death. It was a close battle between Xenocrates, Menedemus of Pyrrha and Heraclides Ponticus but Xenocrates triumphed by just a few votes. Although Xenocrates had been many years in Athens he had refused to become a citizen of that state since he did not approve of its close relations with Macedonia. In this respect he contrasted strongly with his predecessor Speusippus who had strongly supported the political ties between Athens and Macedonia. It is clear that the Academy at this time was far from what many picture it as, namely an institution where scholars sat thinking, isolated from the world around them. On the contrary, the Academy was highly involved in the politics of the day and different political views strove for supremacy.

Extractions: Aristotle was not primarily a mathematician but made important contributions by systematising deductive logic. He wrote on physical subjects: some parts of his Analytica posteriora show an unusual grasp of the mathematical method. Primarily, however, he is important in the development of all knowledge for, as the authors of [2] write:- Aristotle, more than any other thinker, determined the orientation and the content of Western intellectual history. He was the author of a philosophical and scientific system that through the centuries became the support and vehicle for both medieval Christian and Islamic scholastic thought: until the end of the 17th century, Western culture was Aristotelian. And, even after the intellectual revolutions of centuries to follow, Aristotelian concepts and ideas remained embedded in Western thinking. Aristotle was born in Stagirus, or Stagira, or Stageirus, on the Chalcidic peninsula of northern Greece. His father was Nicomachus, a medical doctor, while his mother was named Phaestis. Nicomachus was certainly living in Chalcidice when Aristotle was born and he had probably been born in that region. Aristotle's mother, Phaestis, came from Chalcis in Euboea and her family owned property there.

Extractions: of Justin's Theology Download Paper: Numenius.doc Marian Hillar Introduction Someone estimated that there have been about 23,000 Christianities. I would venture to say further that there are probably as many Christianities as there are believers claiming to be Christians. Such a statement, however, is not productive for the evaluation of evolution of a religion. It would be better if we could differentiate some general patterns in the development of a key religious doctrine. It seems that the evolution of Christianity can be analyzed in terms of four general patterns: 1. Jewish messianism with the figure of the messiah as a glorified man and the expected earthly Kingdom of God. This is the basic message of the Gospels. 2. Hellenistic Christianity in its two forms: in one the messiah figure was transformed into cosmic Greek Logos; and the other Gnostic, in which Logos is only one of many divine manifestations. 3. Trinitarian or syncretic Christianity which tends to reemphasize the unitarian character of the

Extractions: Christian Biblical Church of God Platos Successors The Older Academy Circa 347-325 B.C. Platos successors in leading the Academy (par.61) are his nephew Speusippus (until ca. 339 b.c.), Xenocrates of Chalcedon (until ca. 314 b.c.), Polemon of Athens (until ca. 275 b.c.), and Crates of Athens (until ca. 168 b.c.). Relying upon Platos unwritten doctrines, Speusippus develops a mathematical ontology. Its principles are the One that stands beyond being and the Many that populate the beings [i.e., philosophic Monism] (Ricken, Philosophy of the Ancients , p. 119). Sound familiar? There is one God, and that one God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are distinct, but not separate.... Therefore, God is everything we can conceive of and more! (Joseph W. Tkach Sr., July 27, 1993.) The realms of being are the mathematical numbers, the mathematical shapes, the soul (World-Soul), and the perceivable bodies. They are created when the One determines and limits the Many. The One and the Many are to be seen as analogous but different principles on each level. Speusippus ordered the entire reality according to the relation of genus and species, applying Platos method of collect and division (par. 96f) consistently (Ricken, Philosophy of the Ancients
