Introduction The Creation of God: The Template by Homer and Hesiod The Scientist's Response: Xenophanes and Anaxagoras The Critique: Tragic and Comic Views by Aeschylus and Aristophanes Conclusion: The Balance Between Science and Religion References In our class discussion, we defined science as the system of behaviour by which man acquires mastery of their environment. There were three factors which were determined as being "scientific" about Greek Science. These factors were; the ability to separate the natural from supernatural forces, the creation of tools of logical thought (formal logic such as Mathematical proofs,) and the combination of logic and empirical research. Keeping in mind our crudentials for science, examine the following comparative views on disease.

Extractions: by Plutarch Ed. John White Terms Contents Theseus Romulus ... The Death of Caesar Pericles He who busies himself in mean occupations produces, in the very pains he takes about things of little or no use, an evidence against himself of his negligence and indisposition to what is really good. Nor did any generous and ingenuous young man, at the sight of the statue of Jupiter at Pisa, ever desire to be a Phidias, or, on seeing that of Juno at Argos, long to be a Polycletus, or feel induced by his pleasure in their poems to wish to be an Anacreon or Pliletas or Archilochus. But virtue, by the bare statement of its actions, can so affect men's minds as to create at once both admiration of the things done and desire to imitate the doers of them. The goods of fortune we would possess and would enjoy; those of virtue we long to practice and exercise; we are content to receive the former from others, the latter we wish others to experience from us. And so we have thought fit to spend our time and pains in writing of the lives of famous persons; and have composed this tenth book upon that subject, containing the life of Pericles, and that of Fabius Maximus, who carried on the war against Hannibal, men alike, as in their other virtues and good parts, so especially in their mild and upright temper and demeanor, and in that capacity to bear the cross-grained humors of their fellow-citizens and colleagues in office which made them both most useful and serviceable to the interests of their countries. Whether we take a right aim at our intended purpose, it is left to the reader to judge by what he shall find here.

Extractions: Quotes from Aristotle It is clear, then, that such a principle is the most certain of all and we can formulate it thus: "It is impossible for the same thing at the same time to belong and not belong to the same thing at the same time and in the same respect". -The first formulation of the Law of Non-contradiction, Met. Gamma (Nicomachean Ethics 1096a12-16): Presumably, though, we had better examine the universal good, and puzzle out what is meant in speaking of it. This sort of inquiry is, to be sure, unwelcome to us, because those who introduced the Forms are friends of ours; still, it presumably seems better, indeed only right, to destroy even what is close to us if that is the way to preserve truth. We must especially do this as philosophers; for though we love both the truth and our friends, reverence is due to the truth first.

Patricia Curd, professor of philosophy, will hold a fellowship from July 2001 to June 2002 with the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation. From August to December 2001, she will hold the National Humanities Center Fellowship and from January to December 2002, she will hold the National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship for University Teachers. Next fall will be the beginning of her sabbatical in which she will begin the latter two fellowships. In the fall, she will be at the National Humanities Center, in Research Triangle Park, N.C. The next semester she will be in the United Kingdom at the University of Cambridge. Curd has published numerous papers, written one book and edited a couple of books about pre-Socratic philosophy. Her studies revolve around a classic figure named Anaxagoras of Clazomenae. "Anaxagoras is a crucial figure in the period of Greek philosophy between Parmenides and Plato," she said.

Early Cosmology Two interesting examples were first the claim of anaxagoras of clazomenae thatthe Moon shines only through the light it reflects from the sun, http://phyun5.ucr.edu/~wudka/Physics7/Notes_www/node31.html
Extractions: Next: The Pythagoreans Up: Early Greeks Previous: Mythology In their many travels the early Greeks came into contact with older civilizations and learned their mathematics and cosmologies. Early sailors relied heavily on the celestial bodies for guidance and the observation that the heavens presented very clear regularities gave birth to the concept that these regularities resulted, not from the whims of the gods, but from physical laws. Similar conclusions must have been drawn from the regular change of the seasons. This realization was not sudden, but required a lapse of many centuries, yet its importance cannot be underestimated for it is the birth of modern science. The earliest of the Greek cosmologies were intimately related to mythology: earth was surrounded by air above, water around and Hades below; ether surrounded the earth-water-Hades set (Fig. This system was soon replaced by more sophisticated views on the nature of the cosmos. Two interesting examples were first the claim of Anaxagoras of Clazomenae that the Moon shines only through the light it reflects from the sun, and that that lunar eclipses are a result of the earth blocking the sunlight in its path to the moon; he also believed the Sun to be a ball of molten iron larger than the Peloponesus. Another remarkable feat was the prediction of a solar eclipse by Thales in 585 B.C. (for which he used the data obtained by Babylonian astronomers). During this period other ideas were suggested, such as the possibility of an infinite, eternal universe (Democritus) and a spherical immovable Earth (Parmenides).

Extractions: The Ten Stars of Earliest Greek Thought "Every philosopher paints his universe and each thing in it with fewer colors than actually exist and he is blind to certain colors." (Nietzsche: The Dawn) The first Greek philosophers understood the world as they saw it, felt it, as it appeared to them. The world has never ceased to be what it indeed has always been. Intemporal things manifest hic et nunc , or, to use the terminology of Hegel, the Universal in Itself is also the present of the concrete world. To capture being, then, it suffices to allow the will to join itself to its exteriority and to let representation embrace multiplicity, so that the synthetic figure is born that gives rise to the manner by which reality is organized in the light of consciousness that reflects it. The Presocratics synthesized the first stances of the mind coming face to face with reality, and they incarnate the archetypal tendencies of consciousness. "In fact, they invented the principal types of philosophical spirit to which posterity has added nothing essential at all."

Stoics, then, accounted for the generation of the universe. For, according to them, matter devoid of quality, and in all its parts susceptible of change, constitutes an originating principle of the universe. For, when an alteration of this ensues, there is generated fire, air, water, earth. The followers, however, of Hippasus, and Anaximander, and Thales the Milesian, are disposed to think that all things have been generated from one (an entity), endued with quality. Hippasus of Metapontum and Heraclitus the Ephesian declared the origin of things to be from fire, whereas Anaximander from air, but Thales from water, and Xenophanes from earth. "For from earth," says he, "are all things, and all things terminate in the earth." CHAP. III.SUMMARY OF THE OPINIONS OF PHILOSOPHERS CONTINUED.

Besides these events in the lower sky, it is entered in the records that in the consulship of Manius Acilius and Gaius Porcius it rained milk and blood, and that frequently on other occasions there it has rained flesh, for instance in the consulship of Publius Volumnius and Servius Sulpicius, and that none of the flesh left unplundered by birds of prey went bad; and similarly that it rained iron in the district of Lucania the year before Marcus Crassus was killed by the Parthians and with him all the Lucanian soldiers, of whom there was a large contingent in his army; the shape of the iron that fell resembled sponges; the augurs prophecied wounds from above. But in the consulship of Lucius Paullus and Gaius Marcellus it rained wool in the vicinity of Compsa Castle, near which Titus Amlius Milo was killed a year later. It is recorded in the annals of that year that while Milo was pleading a case in court it rained baked bricks. LVIII. We are told that during the wars with the Cimbri a noise of clanging armour and the sounding of a trumpet were heard from the sky, and that the same thing has happened frequently both before then and later. In the third consulship of Marius the inhabitants of Ameria and Tuder saw the spectacle of heavenly armies advancing from the East and the West to meet in battle, those from the West being routed. It has often been seen, and is not at all surprising, that the sky itself catches fire when the clouds have been set on fire by an exceptionally large flame.

Extractions: Report on the Firmament 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

The fundamentalist destruction of the depth of consciousness previously achieved then begins. A preliminary overview of the history of human consciousness can be given.

(3) The recovery of spiritual depth within the debris of the sophists' fundamentalist destruction of philosophy the work of Plato results in the synthesis of the breadth of knowledge with the depth of consciousness, the empirical with the transcendental.
