Mathematics Timeline : Ancient Greece Griechische Mathematik, Zeitlinie, Ereignisse Around 600 BC the Cretan poet Epimenides (Επιμενίδης o Κρης) is attributed to have invented the linguistic paradox with his phrase "Cretans are ever liars" - the Liar's Paradox. 2500 years later, the mathematician Kurt Gödel invents an adaptation of the Liar's Paradox that reveals serious axiomatic problems at the heart of modern mathematics. Thales of Miletus About 530 BC Pythagoras no common rational measure is discoverable About 480 BC Parmenides of Elea (Παρμενίδης ο Ελεάτης) founded the Eleatic School where he taught that 'all is one,' not an aggregation of units as Pythagoras had said, and that to arrive at a true statement, logical argument is necessary. Truth "is identical with the thought that recognizes it" (Lloyd 1963:327). Change or movement and non-being, he held, are impossibilities since everything is 'full' and 'nothing' is a contradiction which, as such, cannot exist. "Parmenides is said to have been the first to assert that the Earth is spherical in shape...; there was, however, an alternative tradition stating that it was Pythagoras" (Heath 1913:64). Corollary to Parmenides' rejection of the existence of 'nothing' is the Greek number system which, like the later Roman system, refused to use the Babylonian positional number system with its marker for 'nothing.' Making no clear distinction between nature and geometry, "mathematics, instead of being a science of possible relations, was to [the Greeks] the study of situations thought to subsist in nature" (Boyer 1949:25). Moreover, "almost everything in [Greek] philosophy became subordinated to the problem of change.... All temporal changes observed by the senses were mere permutations and combinations of 'eternal principles,' [and] the historical sequence of events (which formed part of the 'flux') lost all fundamental significance" (Toulmin and Goodfield 1965:40).

27. Diodorus On The Greek Cultural Debt philosopher Plato, and that there came also Pythagoras of Samos and the mathematician Eudoxus, as well as Democritus of Abdera and oenopides of chios. http://academic.reed.edu/humanities/110Tech/Diodorus1.96-98.html

Diodorus on the Greek Cultural Debt to Egypt (based on Oldfather's tr.) But now that we have examined these matters we must enumerate what Greeks, who have won fame for their wisdom and learning, visited Egypt in ancient times in order to become acquainted with its customs and learning. For the priests of Egypt recount from the records of their sacred books that they were visited in early times by Orpheus, Musaeus, Melampus, and Daedalus, also by the poet Homer and Lycurgus of Sparta, later by Solon of Athens and the philosopher Plato, and that there came also Pythagoras of Samos and the mathematician Eudoxus, as well as Democritus of Abdera and Oenopides of Chios. As evidence for the visits of all these men they point in some cases to their statues and in others to places or buildings which bear their names, and they offer proofs from the branch of learning which each one of these men pursued, arguing that all the things for which they were admired among the Greeks were borrowed from Egypt. (1.96) Orpheus, for instance, brought from Egypt most of his mystic ceremonies, the orgiastic rites that accompanied his wanderings, and his fabulous account of his experiences in Hades. For the rite of Osiris is the same as that of Dionysus, and that of Isis very similar to that of Demeter, the names alone having been interchanged; and the punishments in Hades of the unrighteous, the Fields of the Righteous, and the fantastic conceptions, current among the many, which are figments of the imagination Ð all these were introduced by Orpheus in imitation of Egyptian funeral customs. (1.96)

AN AFRICAN ORIGIN OF PHILOSOPHY: MYTH OR REALITY? BY MOLEFI KETE ASANTE (FIRST PUBLISHED IN CITY PRESS , JULY, 2004) There is a common belief among whites that philosophy originates with the Greeks. The idea is so common that almost all of the books on philosophy start with the Greeks as if the Greeks pre-dated all other people when it came to discussion of concepts of beauty, art, numbers, sculpture, medicine of social organization. In fact, this dogma occupies the principal position in the academies of the Western world, including the universities and academies of Africa. It goes something like this: Philosophy is the highest discipline. All other disciplines are derived from philosophy. Philosophy is the creation of the Greeks. The Greeks are white, Therefore, whites are the creators of philosophy. In the view of this dogma, other people and cultures may contribute thoughts, like the Chinese, Confucius, but thoughts are not philosophy; only the Greeks can contribute philosophy. The African people may have religion and myths, but not philosophy, according to this reasoning. Thus, this notion privileges the Greeks as the originators of philosophy, the highest of the sciences. There is a serious problem with this line of reasoning. The information is false. As far as scholarship can reveal the origin of the word philosophy is not in the Greek language, although it comes into English from the Greek. According to dictionaries on Greek etymology the origin of the word is unknown. But that is if you are looking for the origin in Europe. Most Europeans who write books on etymology do not consider Zulu, Xhosa, Yoruba, or Amharic, when coming to a conclusion about what is known or unknown. They never think that a term used by a European language may have come from Africa.

Words followed with this symbol are in Greek, and the font "Symbol" must be activated in your browser to get them printed correctly Roots Causeries Visionaries Home Pythagorean Esotericism Antoine Danchin, translation Alison Quayle) French version In the 6th Century BCE, Greater Greece stretched west all they way to Sicily and southern Italy. At this time its western colonies were suddenly reinvigorated by an influx of refugees chased out of Ionia by the conquering Persians. Pythagoras , who was born on the island of Samos some time before 550 BCE, at a time when the whole of eastern Greece was becoming unsafe, settled at Croton in Sicily, probably before 520 BCE. A great many legends soon sprang up around this mysterious figure. By the end of the 5th Century BCE there was no longer any reliable source of information on the life and works of Pythagoras or his immediate successors. What is clear is the reason behind this mystery: it lies in the doctrine itself and the teaching methods of the man who was called the Master. Nothing Pythagoras taught was to be written down or divulged to the uninitiated, and even the disciples were divided into two classes, the
