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

Xenocrates
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Xenocrates of Chalcedon 314 BC ) was a Greek philosopher and scholarch or rector of the Academy from to 314 BC Removing to Athens in early youth, he became the pupil of the Socratic Aeschines , but presently joined himself to Plato , whom he attended to Sicily in . Upon his master's death, in company with Aristotle he paid a visit to Hermias at Atarneus . In 339, Aristotle being then in Macedonia , Xenocrates succeeded Speusippus in the presidency of the school, defeating his competitors Menedemus and Heraclides Ponticus by a few votes. On three occasions he was member of an Athenian legation, once to Philip , twice to Antipater Soon after the death of Demosthenes (fl 322), resenting the Macedonian influence then dominant at Athens, Xenocrates declined the citizenship offered to him at the instance of Phocion , and, being unable to pay the tax levied upon resident aliens, was, it is said, sold, or on the point of being sold, into slavery. He died in , and was succeeded as scholarch by Polemon , whom he had reclaimed from a life of profligacy. Besides Polemon, the statesman

Aristotle
Born: 384 BC, Stagira, Chalcidice, Greece
Died: 322, Chalcis, Euboea Greek: Aristoteles Ancient Greek philosopher, scientist, and organizer of research, one of the two greatest intellectual figures produced by the Greeks (the other being Plato). He surveyed the whole field of human knowledge as it was known in the Mediterranean world in his day; and his writings long influenced Western and Muslim thought. Aristotle's extant works comprise mostly, it seems, notes used in giving Lyceum courses and are of a concentrated, academic nature. The form, titles, and order of the texts were given to them by Andronicus of Rhodes, the last head of the Lyceum, almost three centuries after the philosopher's death. More than any other thinker, Aristotle 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. Even after the intellectual revolutions of centuries to follow, Aristotelian concepts and ideas remained embedded in Western thinking. Aristotle's intellectual range was vast, covering most of the sciences and many of the arts. He worked in physics, chemistry, biology, zoology, and botany; in psychology, political theory, and ethics; in logic and metaphysics; in history, literary theory, and rhetoric. His greatest achievements were in two unrelated areas: he invented the study of formal logic, devising for it a finished system, known as Aristotelian syllogistic, that for centuries was regarded as the sum of logic; and he pioneered the study of zoology, both observational and theoretical, in which his work was not surpassed until the 19th century.

Aristotle
Born: 384 BC in Stagirus, Macedonia, Greece
Died: 322 BC in Chalcis, Euboea, Greece
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. There is no record to indicate whether Aristotle lived with his father in Pella, the capital of Macedonia, while Nicomachus attended to king Amyntas at the court there. However, Aristotle was certainly friendly with Philip, king Amyntas's son, some years later and it seems reasonable to assume that the two, who were almost exactly the same age, had become friendly in Pella as young children. When Aristotle was about ten years old his father died. This certainly meant that Aristotle could not now follow in his father's profession of doctor and, since his mother seems also to have died young, Aristotle was brought up by a guardian, Proxenus of Atarneus, who was his uncle (or possibly a family friend as is suggested by some authors). Proxenus taught Aristotle Greek, rhetoric, and poetry which complemented the biological teachings that Nicomachus had given Aristotle as part of training his son in medicine. Since in latter life Aristotle wrote fine Greek prose, this too must have been part of his early education.

XENOCRATES XENOCRATES of Chalcedon attached himself to Plato, whom he accompanied in his journey to Dionysus, in Sicily. The greater part of his life was spent in the Academy, over which he presided after the death of Plato's pupil, Speusippus, for twenty-five yearsB.C. 339-314. He was noted for gravity of demeanour, for temperance, veracity, and integrity, and is frequently praised and cited by Cicero . When sent as a member of the Athenian embassy to Philip of Macedon, he stood alone in inflexible refusal to receive bribe or favour; and he maintained the same character in his embassy to Antipator. He was a voluminous writer, but nothing except the catalogue of his works has come down to us. He died at the age of 82. His position in philosophy is that of an immediate successor to Plato, who developed the Platonic system, especially in its tendency to Monotheism as the basis of a purer and stronger moral life.

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 divinity preserving the Greek triadic speculations and incorporating especially the Egyptian triune doctrine.
