De Natura Deorum Marcus Tullius Cicero Timaeus , or that old hag of a fortuneteller the Pronoia (which, we may render 'Providence') of the Stoics; nor yet a world endowed with a mind and senses of its own, a spherical, rotatory god of burning fire; these are the marvels and monstrosities of philosophers who do not reason but dream. is his name for it - an unbroken ring of glowing lights, the sky, encircling the sky, which he entitles god; but no one can imagine this to possess divine form, or sensation. He also has many other portentous notions; he deifies war, strife, lust, and the like, things which can be destroyed by disease or sleep or forgetfulness or lapse of time; and he also deifies the stars, but this has been criticized in another philosopher and need not be dealt with now in the case of Parmenides. Timaeus he says that it is impossible to name the father of the universe; and in the Laws he deprecates all inquiry into the nature of the deity. Again, he holds that god is entirely incorporeal (in Greek, asomatos ); but divine incorporeity is inconceivable, for an incorporeal deity would necessarily be incapable of sensation, and also of practical wisdom, and of pleasure, all of which are attributes essential to our conception of deity.

Oswald Office Hours: TR 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. Office: COB rm. #259 Phone: 664-2465/2460 E-Mail: doswald@csubak.edu COURSE DESCRIPTION This course examines the pre-modern economies of the West from the ancient Greeks up to the dawn of the industrial revolution in the eighteenth century. It attempts to highlight in what ways those economies were or were not modern and to explain those differences that existed in the context of the cultures within which they were embedded. The course also examines the ideas that people used before Adam Smith to understand their economic world. Finally, it explores how those ideas dramatically changed during the course of the scientific revolution and how that transformation in thought helped to give rise to the political economy of Adam Smith.

66. Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.12.24 Hermodorus of Syracuse, heraclides of pontus, and Crantor of Soli. Dillon concludes regarding Heraclides that he furthered the Platonic biography http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2003/2003-12-24.html

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.12.24 John M. Dillon, The Heirs of Plato: A Study of the Old Academy (347-274 BC) . Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2003. Pp. 304. ISBN 0-19-823766-9. $65.00. Reviewed by David C. Noe, Patrick Henry College (dcnoe@phc.edu) Word count: 2066 words In The Heirs of Plato The course and tone that the book will take are decided very early on, when Dillon presents in chapter 1 what Harold Cherniss called the Riddle of the Academy. Though acknowledging a debt to Cherniss' work, Dillon opts for a much different treatment. Rather than confine himself to "the evidence of the dialogues" (p. 1) and therefore discount Aristotle as guilty of misinterpretation, Dillon examines every available piece of textual data contemporary and subsequent. The advantage gained by this is that Dillon is enabled to look more carefully at the "true dynamics of the Academy as institution, and into the relation of the doctrines of Plato's disciples and successors as to what they conceived to be his teachings" (p. 1). The work thus does not aim to be philosophy proper, though careful and challenging arguments break out everywhere and on a wide variety of topics, but rather to illuminate a neglected period in the history of philosophy. In chapter 1 Dillon sets himself a twofold task, both to explain the "nature and structure of the Academy" and the "nature of the basic doctrines that he [Plato] arrived at before his death." These themes are treated in two sections. The first, entitled "The Physical Structure of the Academy", adduces evidence primarily from Diogenes Laertius as to the "nature of the physical plant" (p. 5). Dillon organizes and evaluates this data, offering insight on the location and appearance of the school and its apparently communal life and arrangements for meals and sleeping quarters. The section is enlivened by well-chosen anecdotes whose plausibility Dillon also weighs. Carefully canvassed are the opinions of Wilamowitz, Guthrie, Glucker and others.

67. Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.12.04 Iamblichus pagan sources may have been Peripatetic vitae or collections of dicta from the pen of Aristoxenus and heraclides of pontus. http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2002/2002-12-04.html

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.12.04 Michael von Albrecht, John Dillon, Michael Lurje, Martin George, David S. du Toit, Jamblich. Pythagoras: Legende - Lehre - Lebensgestaltung . Darmstadt: Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellshaft, 2002. Pp. 352. ISBN 3-534-14945-9. EUR 31.00. Word count: 1973 words The book contains the Greek text of Iamblichus' Vita Pythagorica ANRW II 36.2. Here he abandons the idea that the teacher of Iamblichus was a certain Anatolius who taught Peripatetic philosophy in Alexandria in the 260s and later on became bishop of Laodicea in Syria. The reference in Eunapius' Vit. Soph. Vita Pythagorica was to introduce us to a systematic understanding of Pythagorean philosophy, as Iamblichus conceived it some hundred years after Pythagoras' death. The title itself also suggests that Iamblichus was interested not so much in the actual life of Pythagoras as in a way of life according to the principles of his philosophy. The translation is accurate and reads well. The annotations are confined to the most necessary, mainly textual, data, which is forgivable since the subsequent essays provide us with all sorts of information. Just a small query. Is the general discussion of temperance found in Section 34, as note 131 claims? The subject-matter is discussed in Sections 68-69 as well. Lurje discusses the text as a manifesto of Neoplatonic paideia. He intends to prove that in discussing the main lines of Pythagoreanism Iamblichus' aim was to introduce his audience into his own philosophy. Pythagoras thus turned into a guide to Platonism; indeed, he took up a role well attested in Plato's

68. Middle Platonism [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] heraclides of pontus was an astronomer who borrowed the Pythagorean theory of the diurnal revolution of the earth, and revised it with his own theory that http://www.iep.utm.edu/m/midplato.htm

Middle Platonism The period designated by historians of philosophy as the 'Middle Platonic' begins with Antiochus of Ascalon (ca. 130-68 B.C.) and ends with Plotinus (204-70 A.D.), who is considered the founder of Neoplatonism . The Middle Platonic philosophers inherited the exegetical and speculative problems of the Old Academy, established by Plato and continued by his successors Speusippus (ca. 407-339 B.C.), Xenocrates (ca. 396-314 B.C.) , and Polemo (ca. 350-267 B.C.). Many of these problems centered about the interpretation of Plato's so-called Unwritten Doctrines, inspired by Pythagorean philosophy and involving a primordial, generative pair of first principles the One and the Dyad and how to square this doctrine with the account of creation given in the Timaeus dialogue. This was also the main concern of the Neopythagorean philosophy that emerged with the work of Ocellus Lucanus in the second century B.C., whose treatise On the Nature of the Universe shows the influence of both Platonic and Aristotelian conceptions. The Academy took a new turn after the founding of the Stoic school by Zeno of Citium (334-262 B.C.), a pupil of Polemo.

Home Search Contact Us Buy Wesley CDs CHAPTER XV OF THE REVOLUTION OF THE PLANETS ABOUT THEIR OWN AXIS. 4. Our secondary planet, the moon, gave the ancients an opportu­nity of displaying their penetration. They early discovered, that it had no light of its own, but shone with that which it reflected from the sun. This, after Thales, was the sentiments of Anaxagoras and of Empedocles, who thence accounted not only for the mildness of its splendour, but the imperceptibility of its heat; which our experiments confirm: for with all the aid of burning glasses, we have never yet found it practicable to produce the least effect of heat from any com­bination of its rays. 8. Pythagoras, who followed Orpheus in many of his opinions, taught likewise, that the moon was an earth like ours, replete with animals, whose nature he presumed not to describe, though be was persuaded, they were of a more noble and elegant kind than ours, and not liable to the same infirmities.

CHAPTER XIV - OF THE COPERNICAN SYSTEM; THE MOTION OF THE EARTH ABOUT THE SUN; A see in St. Jerome’s christian apology against Rufinus and in Cicero, we see that heraclides of pontus, who was a Pythagorean, taught the same doctrine. http://wesley.nnu.edu/john_wesley/wesley_natural_philosophy/duten14.htm

Home Search Contact Us Buy Wesley CDs CHAPTER XIV OF THE COPERNICAN SYSTEM; THE MOTION OF THE EARTH ABOUT THE SUN; AND THE ANTIPODES 1. THERE are other truths taught by the ancients long ago, at last adopted by the moderns; after having undergone a not uncom­mon fate, that of being rejected and condemned with disdain. That the earth moves about the sun, and that there are antipodes, are particulars known long ago, though received almost every where at first with contempt or ridicule; nay, they have sometimes proved danger­ous to those who held them; yet both these doctrines are now so well established, that they meet with general approbation. And thus, for two ages past, have we gone on to re-introduce the most celebrated of the ancient opinions; still affecting, however, not to know that we are in any manner indebted to those who first held them. 7. That the earth is round and inhabited on all sides, and of course that they are antipodes, or those whose feet are directly opposite to ours, is one of the most ancient doctrines inculcated by philosophy. Diogenes Laertius says, that Plato was the first, who called the inhabitants of the earth opposite to us, antipodes. He does not mean, that Plato was the first who taught this opinion, but only the first who made use of the term antipodes; for, in another place, he mentions Pythagoras as the first who taught it. There is also a passage in Plutarch, whereby it appears, that it was a point of con­troversy in his time : and Lucretius and Pliny, who oppose this notion, as well as St. Augustine, all serve as witnesses that it must have prevailed in their time.

Christian Churches of God PO Box 369, WODEN ACT 2606, AUSTRALIA Email: secretary@ccg.org 2000, 2001 Wade Cox) This paper is available from the World Wide Web page: http://www.logon.org and http://www.ccg.org The Soul The biblical position on the Soul is a clear and simple doctrine, which has been altered by syncretism within the early Church. The position of the religious systems generally has become one that asserts that the soul is eternal. This is not the true biblical position. The development of the so-called Christian view and its relationship to the biblical view has been examined. The Soul and the Bible As discussed in Cox, Creation: From Anthropomorphic Theology to Theomorphic Anthropology (No. B5) , the concept of the existence of a soul as an entity after death has been a constant theme arising from Babylonian Animism, i.e. from Chaldean theology. The concept is logically polytheist. The Bible states quite categorically that the dead remain so until the resurrection, either the first or second resurrection. Nobody has been resurrected other than Christ; the others of the elect are fallen asleep (1Thes. 4:13-18). But the dead will be raised: 1Corinthians 15:16-18 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also that have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

Authors born between 1450 and 1500 CE Erasmus Machiavelli Wang Yang-ming [ Copernicus ] More Vives Rabelais Click Up For A Summary Of Each Author Contents Introduction The Decision to Publish The Reason for A New System The Mobility of the Earth ... Source Introduction Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1527 CE) was born Mikolaj Kopernik in Torun, Poland. His uncle, Bishop Watzenrode, arranged for his university education. He studied liberal arts, mathematics and optics at the University of Krakow, canon law at Bologna, and medicine at Padua. At Bologna he worked on astronomical measurements with a mathematics professor, Domenico Maria de Novara, and became aware of the inaccuracies inherent in Ptolemaic predictions of the motion of the planets. He received his doctorate in Italy in 1503.On his return from Italy, where the notion that the earth revolved around the sun was being discussed, he attempted to test the concept by means of observation. He returned to become canon of Frauenberg in 1512, but was not an ordained priest. He was occupied instead with administrative and political affairs and with providing medical assistance to local citizens. In 1514 he put forward his views on reform of the calendar developed by Julius Ceasar, to bring it back into synchrony with the solar year. In 1517 he developed a plan for reform of the currency. He began his major work on the heliocentric view of the solar system ( The Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres ) at about this time, publishing a brief popular account in 1530. This was circulated widely, and eventually was the subject of a lecture given in Rome. Pope Clement II approved of the ideas expressed and transmitted a request via the Polish Cardinal that the ideas be published in full. A complete text of Copernicus’ work was published in 1543, shortly before his sudden death in May of that year. Copernicus himself remarked on the long time it took him to complete this work. It is worth noting that although the concept is relatively simple, the development of the theory mathematically—given the need to research ancient records of doubtful accuracy—would extend over a long period for somebody working only in their spare time.

74. Roman Stoicism (Chapter 8: The Universe) a Pythagorean philosopher, whose views were quoted with approval by Theophrastus, and later Ecphantus the Pythagorean, and heraclides of pontus. http://www.geocities.com/stoicvoice/journal/0603/ea0603b2.htm

Roman Stoicism (Chapter 8: The Universe) by E. Vernon Arnold (1857 - 1926) Showing the motion of all the planets, he must have been aware of its superior simplicity. Nevertheless he opposed it vigorously on theological grounds, and perhaps more than any other man was responsible for its being pushed aside for some 1500 years. The precise ground of the objection is not made very clear to us, and probably it was instinctive rather than reasoned. It could hardly be deemed impious to place the sun, whom the Stoics acknowledged as a deity, in the center of the universe; but that the earth should be reckoned merely as one of his attendant planets was humiliating to human self-esteem, and jeopardized the doctrine of Providence, in accordance with which the universe was created for the happiness of gods and men only. Air on its downward path changes to water. This change is described as due to loss of heat, and yet water too has some heat and vitality. Even earth, the lowest and grossest of the elements, contains a share of the divine heat; otherwise it could not feed living plants and animals, much less send up exhalation with which to feed the sun and stars. Thus we may say even of a stone that it has a part of the divinity in it. Here then we see the reverse side of the so-called Stoic materialism. If it is true that God is body, and that the soul is body, it is equally true that even water, the damp and cold element, and earth, the dry and cold element, are both penetrated by the divinity, by the creative fire without the operation of which both would fall in an instant into nothingness.

Galilei Galileo (1615) Galileo's Considerations on the Copernican Opinion Source Galileo's Considerations on the Copernican System , 1615, from The Galileo Affair , edited by Maurice Finocchiaro. Complete letter. In order to remove (as much as the blessed God allows me) the occasion to deviate from the most correct judgment about the resolution of the pending controversy, I shall try to do away with two ideas. These are notions which I believe some are attempting to impress on the minds of those persons who are charged with the deliberations, and, if I am not mistaken, they are concepts far from the truth. That it is not to be disparaged as ridiculous is, therefore, clearly shown by the quality of the men, both ancient and modern, who have held and do hold it. No one can regard it as ridiculous unless he considers ridiculous and foolish Pythagoras with all his school, Philolaus (teacher of Plato), Plato himself (as Aristotle testifies in his book On the Heavens ), Heraclides of Pontus, Ecphantus, Aristarchus of Samos, Hicetas and Seleucus the mathematician. Seneca himself not only does not ridicule it, hut he makes fun of those who do, writing in his book On Comets : "It is also important to study these questions in order to learn whether the universe goes around the motionless earth, or the earth rotates but the universe does not. For some have said that we are naturally unaware of motion, that sunrise and sunset are not due to the motion of the heavens, but that it is we ourselves who rise and set. The matter deserves consideration, so that we may know the conditions of our existence, whether we stand still or move very fast, whether God drives everything around us or drives us." Regarding the moderns, Nicolaus Copernicus first accepted it and amply confirmed it in his whole book. Then there were others: William Gilbert, a distinguished physician and philosopher, who treats it at length and confirms it in his book

76. The Rigid Sky In Greek Philosophy See Aristotle s Astronomy. heraclides of pontus (c. 390322 BC) explained the apparent rotation of the heavens by the rotation of the earth. http://www.sentex.net/~tcc/fgreek.html

Report on the Firmament The Rigid Sky in Greek Philosophy The worship of Zeus in the ancient world involved a cosmology that was built on the assumption of a stationary earth. Many arguments were available that appeared to support this idea; clouds would be left behind, it was reasoned, if the earth rotated. Observations showed that a stone or an arrow shot straight up into the air fell back down to the same place, and was not deflected towards the west. The ancients noted that after sunset, the stars appeared in the formerly bright blue sky, and they observed the regular daily movement of the stars, which seem to rotate about a point in the sky above the north pole each night. To keep the stars in their relative positions, they reasoned a rigid spherical shell was required, centered on the earth's center, in which all the fixed stars were embedded. The rigidity of the heavens was regarded as an amazing discovery, which seemed to account for many observations. The concept was the basis for the worship of the Olympian Zeus in the ancient world. Zeus was the rigid heaven of the ancient world, which shone bright blue in the day, and held up all the stars, which were thought to be embedded like nails on its inside surface. The sky was the focus of Greek religion. Zeus was chief of the Olympic deities, and was called "the father of gods and men" by Homer. Herodotus says Homer gave the

A LICE A. D ONOHUE Ex Oriente Mus Dear Professor Fleischer! It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to honor your achievements and to thank you for many kindnesses over many years. Since some of our work as colleagues involved editorial projects, I hope that you will accept an aparche harvested by the blue pencil rather than by the word processor. The editors of the present volume entrusted me with the preparation of the following contribution, which was submitted anonymously. The writer of the essay that lies before you remains unknown. As no work published during the past twenty-odd years seems to be cited, despite the author's obvious enthusiasm for the subject, we must admit the sad possibility that the manuscript was sent by some friend or relative on behalf of a long-deceased scholar. All inquiries to some dozens of colleagues having met with the most vehement denials of any knowledge whatsoever of writer or work, it has proved impossible to determine the identity of the author. I give here the original text, documentary apparatus, and illustrations; such editorial supplements as seemed appropriate appear in brackets. The Symbolon of Apollo Smintheus One of the unsolved problems in the history of Greek sculpture is the image of Apollo Smintheus in Chryse, in the Troad. The evidence for this statue includes both detailed literary accounts and (it has been claimed) representations on coins, as well as information from the excavation of the sanctuary. But there are inconsistencies in this evidence, and no convincing synthesis of the various sources has been reached. I shall concentrate here on the form and placement of the symbolon. The chief evidence for the statue consists of two literary passages. The earlier of these is Strabo XIII.1.48 C 604:

Table of Contents Description The Heirs of Plato is the first book exclusively devoted to an in-depth study of the various directions in philosophy taken by Plato's followers in the first seventy years or so following his death in 347 BC. - the period generally known as 'The Old Academy'. Speusippus, Xenocrates, and Polemon, the three successive heads of the Academy in this period, though personally devoted to the memory of Plato, were independent philosophers in their own right, and felt free to develop his heritage in individual directions. This is also true of other personalities attached to the school, such as Philippus of Opus, Heraclides of Pontus, and Crantor of Soli. After an introductory chapter on the school itself, and a summary of Plato's philosophical heritage, John Dillon devotes a chapter to each of the school heads, and another to the other chief characters, exploring both what holds them together and what sets them apart. There is a final short chapter devoted to the turn away from dogmatism toscepticism under Arcesilaus in the 270s, and some reflections on the intellectual debt of Stoicism to the thought of Polemon, in particular.
