83. Intentionality In Ancient Philosophy
    Much of the subsequent discussion in ancient philosophy can be seen as an attempt to pursue the last strategy, (ii), by finding a suitable intermediary  
    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/intentionality-ancient/
    
    Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free But in fact this narrative rests on questionable assumptions. Once the investigation is properly framed, it is clear that philosophical interest in intentionality can be traced back to the very origins of ancient philosophy. Intentionality is treated as involving serious problems already in the early- to mid-fifth century B.C.E., arguably first by Parmenides of Elea, but indisputably by sophists such as Gorgias and Protagoras. Plato thematizes the difficulties and discusses them at length in several dialogues. In later philosophers, we find various theoretical solutions, including appeals to internal representations (Aristotle), to nonexistent objects of thought (early Stoics), and to propositions and other semantic entities (later Stoics). The terminology of intentionality itself can be traced back, through Augustine, to the Stoic theory of vision. 1. The history of the term

85. Ancient Conceptions Of Analysis: A Supplement To Analysis
    Stanford Encyclopedia of philosophy Supplement to Analysis Citation Information. ancient Conceptions of Analysis. 1. Introduction to Supplement; 2.  
    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/analysis/s2.html
    
    Extractions: Citation Information This supplement provides a brief account of the conceptions of analysis involved in ancient Greek geometry and Plato's and Aristotle's philosophies. The aim is not to explore in any detail the intricate conceptual, textual and historical interrelationships but simply to highlight the key features of the relevant methodologies. Central to these methodologies is the regressive conception of analysis, as outlined in of the main document. Immediately after his characterization of the method of analysis and synthesis in his Mathematical Collection (as quoted in of the main document), Pappus goes on: Now analysis is of two kinds. One seeks the truth, being called theoretical. The other serves to carry out what was desired to do, and this is called problematical. In the theoretical kind we suppose the thing sought as being and as being true, and then we pass through its concomitants ( ) in order, as though they were true and existent by hypothesis, to something admitted; then, if that which is admitted be true, the thing sought is true, too, and the proof will be the reverse of analysis. But if we come upon something false to admit, the thing sought will be false, too. In the problematic kind we suppose the desired thing to be known, and then we pass through its concomitants (

89. Ancient Greek Skepticism [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
    An article on skepticism in ancient Greece from the Internet Encyclopedia of philosophy, by Harald Thorsrud of Temple University.  
    http://www.iep.utm.edu/s/skepanci.htm
    
    Extractions: Ancient Greek Skepticism Although all skeptics in some way cast doubt on our ability to gain knowledge of the world, the term 'skeptic' actually covers a wide range of attitudes and positions. There are skeptical elements in the views of many Greek philosophers, but the term 'ancient skeptic' is generally applied either to a member of Plato's Academy during its skeptical period (c. 273 B.C.E to 1st century B.C.E.) or to a follower of Pyrrho (c. 365 to 270 B.C.E.). Pyrrhonian skepticism flourished from Aenesidemus' revival (1st century B.C.E.) to Sextus Empiricus, who lived sometime in the 2nd or 3rd centuries C.E. Thus the two main varieties of ancient skepticism: Academic and Pyrrhonian. The term 'skeptic' derives from a Greek noun, skepsis, which means examination, inquiry, consideration. What leads most skeptics to begin to examine and then eventually to be at a loss as to what one should believe, if anything, is the fact of widespread and seemingly endless disagreement regarding issues of fundamental importance. Many of the arguments of the ancient skeptics were developed in response to the positive views of their contemporaries, especially the Stoics and Epicureans,

    Extractions: home ancient world map stonehenge ... next Europe before 1000 BCE Agriculture in Europe Civilization came to Europeans later than it did to people in West Asia, North Africa, India and China. It was preceded by agriculture and the raising of animals, which appeared in sunny Greece as early as 6000 BCE - around the time that people there built stone walls around their villages, presumably to protect themselves from wild animals and marauding outsiders. In the coming thousand years, farming spread from Greece into the colder southern Balkans . Between 5000 and 4000 BCE it spread up the Danube River into central Europe, along the Rhine River , the Netherlands Gaul and finally into what is now Switzerland . During these times, Europeans used digging sticks and hoes made of wood. They had stone axes with a sharpened and polished edge, and they had stone knives for reaping their crops. They used ornamented pottery. And where wood was plentiful they built log homes - as large as thirty by forty meters. By 4000 BCE, Europeans were using a wooden plow, and, sometime after 4000, farming spread to people around the

    Article by Michael Boylan on this key figure in ancient medicine and later writers within the Hippocratic tradition. Includes brief biographical information.  
    http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/h/hippocra.htm
    
    Extractions: Hippocrates (c. 450 BCE to 380 BCE.) Hippocrates of Cos was said to have lived sometime between 450 BCE to 380 BCE. He was a physician, and the writings of the Corpus Hippocraticum provide a wealth of information on biomedical methodology and offer one of the first reflective codes of professional ethics. Though Plato (a contemporary) makes reference to Hippocrates ( Phaedrus 270a and elsewhere), it is generally believed that most of the writings in the Corpus Hippocraticum are actually the work of a number of different writers. By convention of time, place and general approach a common name of 'Hippocrates' was assigned to the lot (without distinguishing those of the historical Hippocrates). Hippocrates and the other associated writers provide the modern student with a number of different sorts of insights. On the biomedical methodology side, these writings provide the most detailed biomedical observations to date in the Western world. They also offer causal speculations that can be knitted together to form a theoretical framework for diagnosis and treatment. On the ethical side, their code of professional ethics is so well structured that it continues to stand as a model for other professions.

    http://kybalion.home.att.net
    
    Extractions: An online ebook edition of The Kybalion by the Three Initiates this book is a study of basic hermetic teachings that outlines an ageless wisdom. In ancient times (and perhaps even today) these teachings were not understood by the lay person, but were readily understood by students, after the axioms and principles had been explained and exemplified by the Hermetic Initiates to their Neophytes. The Kybalion was originally written in the early 1900s and is now in the public domain. A priceless gem! Buy it! "... all things [are] evolving from other things, and resolving into other things..." - The Kybalion Therefore, change must apply to The Kybalion as well. While The Kybalion is a great little book, you gotta admit, its language is slowly becoming more outdated. A new publication has evolved that breathes fresh life into an age old philosophy...

    http://www.une.edu.au/arts/Philosop/famphil.html
    
    Extractions: Founder of the Milesian school of philosophy, Thales was adjudged by Aristotle to be the first real scientist since he sought for the ultimate physical substance. He took this to be water and believed that the Earth floated on water like a raft. He referred to water as the arche -, the principle underlying all of reality or Being . This idea was to become very important for the Pre-Socratic philosophers who devoted much of their energies to disputes about the arche Although our knowledge of most of his philosophical doctrines is sketchy, based on hearsay, his 'first scientist' accolade seems justified. In 585 BC he correctly predicted a solar eclipse and he is reputed to have been responsible for the introduction of geometry to the Greek world. More generally, though, he was the first 'natural philosopher', the first (Western) thinker to clearly break with supernatural and mythopoeic explanations of the world in an effort to explain natural phenomena in natural terms. This did not mean that he rejected the notion of divine beings. To the contrary, he held that magnets possessed a soul and that, indeed, all things were similarly full of gods a version of a theological view known as panpsychism.

    Discussion of the distinction between knowledge and craft, or art in ancient philosophy; by Richard Parry.

    Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free is the Greek word most often translated as knowledge, while and . As we move chronologically from Xenophon to Plotinus, we go from an author who does not distinguish between the two terms, to an author who has little use for because it is so far from reality. It is in Aristotle that we find the basis for something like the modern opposition between as pure theory and as practice. Yet even Aristotle refers to or craft as itself also that is informed by knowledge of forms. In the Republic this knowledge is the indispensable basis for the philosophers' craft of ruling in the city. Picking up another theme in Plato's dialogues, the Stoics develop the idea that virtue is a kind of or craft of life, one that is based on an understanding of the universe. The relation, then, between
