French monk of whom little is known apart from two outstanding students, Abelard and Anselm . Abelard and Anselm both attest that Abelard was a nominalist . Roscelin seems to have rejected nominalism, on the grounds that the whole cannot be equal to or greater than their parts. From this opservation Roscelin was apparently let to conclude that universals are not real. The whole, he held, is equal to or greater than its parts. This opinion inevitably led him to difficulties with Rome on the question of the nature of the trinity . He recanted under pressure in Rheims in 1092. Having studied there, Abelard to Pairs in 1113 C.E. . It was in the years following his return to Paris that he commenced his famous affair with the nun Heloise . Their secret correspondence is one of the great love stories of western literature, despite (or perhaps because of) the reaction of Heloise's uncle Canon Fulbert, who arranged for Abelard's castration and the incarceration of Abelard and Eloise in isolated cells. Abelard like his teacher was a nominalist . He held that universals arise from resemblances

Anaxagoras Scientists Home Page Archimedes Aristarchus Eratosthenes ... Pythagoras The citizens of Athens ... passed a law permitting impeachment of those who did not practice religion and taught theories about 'the things on high'. Under this law they persecuted Anaxagoras, who was accused of teaching that the sun was a red-hot stone and the moon was earth. We should examine this teaching of Anaxagoras about the sun more closely for, although it was used as a reason to put him in prison, it is a most remarkable teaching. It was based on his doctrine of "nous" which is translated as "mind" or "reason". Initially "all things were together" and matter was some homogeneous mixture. The nous set up a vortex in this mixture. The rotation system is present. Anaxagoras also shows an understanding of centrifugal force which again shows the major scientific insights that he possessed. Anaxagoras proposed that the moon shines by reflected light from the "red-hot stone" which was the sun, the first such recorded claim. Showing great genius he was also then able to take the next step and become the first to explain correctly the reason for eclipses of the sun and moon. His explanation of eclipses of the sun is completely correct but he did spoil his explanation of eclipses of the moon by proposing that in addition to being caused by the shadow of the earth, there were other dark bodies between the earth and the moon which also caused eclipses of the moon. It is a little unclear why he felt it necessary to postulate the existence of these bodies but it does not detract from this major breakthrough in mathematical astronomy. There is also other evidence to suggest that Anaxagoras had applied geometry to the study of astronomy.

THE GREEK HEROIC AGE History THE HEROIC AGE (Vth century B.C.) One of the most important personalities of this century is Pericles Athens attracted intellectuals from all parts of the Greek world wanting to satisfy their thirst for knowledge. Rather than coming up with necessary solutions to practical problems at that time, the scholars were more interested in developing their own personal intellect. This desire for wisdom lead them to focus their learning on theoretical issues. During this period the three famous (or classical) problems were dealt with and two methods of reasoning were put into use The table below lists the mathematicians who lived during this period and the problems that formed the focus of their study. Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (Athens) Hippocrates of Chios (Athens) squaring the circle or how to draw a square whose area is the same as that of a circle using a ruler and compass. Hippias de Elis (Attic peninsular) the trisection of the angle or how to construct an angle equal to a third of another given angle Philolaus of Tarentum (Southern Italy) Archytas of Tarentum the duplication of the cube or how to construct another cube whose volume is double that of the given cube Hippasus of Metapontum (Southern Italy) Incommensurability or line segments which are not in rational proportion to one another (THE GOLDEN SECTION)

THE ELEATIC SCHOOL General Notions The Eleatic School resumed discussion of the problem of being and becoming and attacked the opposition between sense knowledge and intellectual knowledge. The problem can be summed up: Reality in a logical manner appears to us under two different aspects accordingly as it is presented to our senses, or as it is presented to our mind. Our senses perceive the multiplicity, the

Ancient coins show they knew it was round by Michael Marotta The average person in Hellenic and Roman times knew that our world is round. The philosophic inquiries that began with Thales (624-547 BCE), reached a zenith in the works of Aristotle (384-321). Later, hellenistic astronomers made measurements of the size of the Earth and the sizes of and distances to the Sun and Moon. Several schemes for explaining the motions of the planets were invented. Generally, the average person of those times did not believe Earth to be flat any more than the average person of our day believes that we are alone in the galaxy. Philosophic Developments We should not be surprised to learn that various Greek philosophers and mathematicians had clever insights. Empedocles of Akragas (490-430) proved by experiment that air has substance. Democritus of Abdera (460-370) posited the existence of atoms. Pythagoras (569-500) was probably the first to assert that Earth is a sphere. The other candidate for originating this insight is Parmenides of Elea (fl. c. 500 BCE). However, later than them, Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (500-428) said that our world is "cylindrical", i.e., shaped like a drum or a modern coin. Democritus agreed. Aristotle summarized and criticized just about every significant work up to his time. In his books, On The Heavens, he notes the reasons offered by Anaxagoras and Democritus for asserting that Earth is flat. Then he argues against them, and states: "These conditions will be provided, even though the Earth is spherical, if it is of the requisite size..."

Both Aristotle and Plato refer to numerous disciples of his. Anaxagoras appears to have been the first to use the concept of nous , or mind, as a fundamental cosmic principle. According to him, nous is the cause of organization in otherwise chaotic matter. This teleological principle was one of the key points where he diverged from the Atomist school of thinking, with which he was otherwise associated. Unlike the Atomists he also argued that, rather than tiny "atoms" of material, there is actually a continuum of material substance. There is no smallest among the small and no largest among the large, But always something still smaller and something still larger.

He moved to Athens in about 480 BC. In about 450 BC he was imprisoned for claiming that the Sun was not a god and that the Moon reflected the Sun's light. Russell in [5] writes:- The citizens of Athens ... passed a law permitting impeachment of those who did not practice religion and taught theories about 'the things on high'. Under this law they persecuted Anaxagoras, who was accused of teaching that the sun was a red-hot stone and the moon was earth. While in prison he tried to solve the problem of squaring the circle, that is constructing with ruler and compasses a square with area equal to that of a given circle. This is the first record of this problem being studied. Anaxagoras was saved from prison by Pericles but had to leave Athens. He returned to Ionia where he founded a school. The anniversary of his death became a holiday for schoolchildren.

Foundations Of Hippocratic Medicine THE DOCTORS AND THE PRESOCRATIC PHILOSOPHERS In order to give their new ideas a firmer foundation, and to be persuasive to their patients, many of the writers of the Hippocratic treatises turned to the writings of the Presocratic philosophers, men who sought to explain the nature of the cosmos and the things in it in terms of natural entities and non-personal forces (today we would call these men natural scientists). Other Hippocratic writers vehemently opposed this trend, holding to what they saw as an uncompromising empiricism, based solely on experience, not on theory. Their debate underlies many of the Hippocratic treatises, influencing not only content but also the form of argumentation, which makes it important to consider this philosophical background briefly. In the following discussion, the fragments of the Presocratics are translated from the Greek text found in the standard source, H.Diels and W.Kranz, Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker, 6th edition, 1954, and identified with their Diels-Kranz number, abbreviated as DK). A useful source book for further background is G.S.Kirk, J.E.Raven and M. Schofield, The Presocratic Philosophers, 1983. THALES OF MILETUS According to tradition, Thales, a native of the Ionian east Greek city of Miletus (in modern Turkey), was the first of the Presocratic philosophers. Miletus was a large and cosmopolitan city, with long-standing trading connections with the states of the ancient Near East. He himself was probably of mixed ancestry (his family is said to have been originally Phoenician, and, like many Ionians, he probably also had an admixture of local Carians in his family tree). He is reported to have assisted the Lydian king Croesus in his war against the Persians, and predicted an eclipse that put an end to a great battle in 585. Thus he was probably active not much before the beginning of the seventh century.

The Fractal Cosmos of Anaxagoras Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (499 B.C. - 428 B.C.). Greek, born in Ionia, lived in Athens He was imprisoned for claiming that the sun was not a god and that the moon reflected the sun's light. While in prison he tried to solve the problem of squaring the circle, that is constructing with ruler and compasses a square with area equal to that of a given circle (this is the first record of this problem being studied). I will provide soon more information and give now only a reference Abstract: The concept of a fractal cosmos occupies a prominent position in the modern cosmology. We trace the development of this concept from the presocratic Greece to the present state of affairs. In this first part we consider the original idea due to Anaxagoras and elucidate a number of points with regard to possible interpretation of his cosmological ideas. A comparison has been made with the cosmology of Abderian school and relevance to the modern cosmology discussed.
