Extractions: Died: about 70 BC in Athens, Greece Zeno of Sidon was born in the city of Sidon on the Mediterranean coast of what today is Lebanon. Sidon was one of the oldest Phoenician cities and, from its founding in the 3rd millennium BC, was ruled by many different peoples: Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, Alexander the Great , the Seleucids of Syria, the Ptolemys of Egypt, and the Romans. To understand the philosophy of Zeno we need to make some comments about the philosopher Epicurus who founded the Epicurean School to which Zeno later belonged. Epicurus, who lived from 341BC to 270 BC, founded his own School of philosophy based on his teachings. These teachings were designed to indicate a means of living ones life, and they aimed both to guarantee happiness and to provide a means to find it. Epicurus had no interest in science for its own sake and he was a severe critic of mathematics. On science he wrote:- If we were not troubled by our suspicions of the phenomena of the sky and about death, and also by our failure to grasp the limits of pain and desires, we should have no need of natural science. His criticisms of mathematics were very superficial of little importance since he clearly had very little understanding of the subject. In 306 BC he founded his School in Athens in the garden of his house. Reasonably enough the School became known as The Garden.

Extractions: Reviewed by Alan C. Mitchell, Theology, Georgetown University, mitchela@gunet.georgetown.edu In a word this book is elegant. At the most basic level its appearance is handsome. More importantly, Gigante's rendering of Philodemus is fascinating and engaging, and Dirk Obbink's translation is masterful. Gigante presents an engrossing account of the relevance of Philodemus of Gadara and the critical importance of his private library at Herculaneum for the attestation of Italian Epicureanism in the first century BCE. His method is almost conversational as he tells the story of the excavation of the library, the deciphering of these difficult texts, and the significance of Philodemus' place in the history of Epicureanism. Along the way Gigante comments on the volume of Philodemus scholarship that has exposed the problems that prevent an easy portrayal of the evidence and its meaning. He dialogues with this scholarship in a manner that is both charming and critical. The first chapter opens with the story of the excavation of the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum and its relevance for research on Epicureanism at Rome in the later Republic. Gigante predicts that expanded exploration will only increase the value of this find. The discovery of new texts is, perhaps for philologists like Gigante, the most exciting part of the excavations. While the bulk of the material from the library is Greek texts of Hellenistic philosophy, scholars can anticipate additional new texts, when the Latin part of the library is explored. Among the Latin papyri verses of books 1, 3, 4, and 5 of Lucretius' poem

They are the more precious because the original works of the forerunners of Euclid, Archimedes and Apollonius are lost, having probably been discarded and forgotten almost immediately after the appearance of the masterpieces of that great trio. Proclus himself lived 410-485 A.D., so that there had already passed a sufficient amount of time for the tradition relating to the pre-Euclidean geometers to become obscure and defective.

Extractions: Down a side street in the seedy Italian town of Ercolano, wafted by the scent of uncollected rubbish and the fumes of passing motor-scooters, lies a waterlogged hole. A track leads from it to a high fence and a locked gate. Dogs defecate in the undergrowth where addicts discard their needles. Peering into the dark, stagnant water it is hard to imagine that this was once one of the greatest villas in the Roman world, the size of Blenheim Palace, extending for more than 250 yards along the Bay of Naples. (An impression of what it must have looked like is provided by the Getty Museum in California, which is an exact replica.) Its nemesis, Vesuvius, still looms over it less than four miles away. When the mountain erupted on August 24, AD79 it buried the villa under a mantle of volcanic rock 100ft thick, altering the coastline and pushing the sea back by hundreds of yards. NI_MPU('middle');
Parrhesia And Community Life: Epictetus But we do have a text entitled On Frank Speaking written by Philodemus (who isrecording the lectures of zeno of sidon). The text is not complete in its http://foucault.info/documents/parrhesia/Lecture-05/03.communitylife.html
Extractions: Although the Epicureans, with the importance they gave to friendship, emphasized community life more than other philosophers at this time, nonetheless one can also find some stoic groups, as well as Stoic or Stoico-Cynic philosophers who acted as moral and political advisors to various circles and aristocratic clubs. For example, Musonius Rufus was spiritual advisor to Nero's cousin, Rubellius Plautus, and his circle; and the Stoico-Cynic philosopher Demetrius was advisor to a liberal anti-aristocratic group around Thrasea Paetus. Thrasea Paetus, a roman senator, committed suicide after being condemned to death by the senate during Nero's reign. And Demetrius was the régisseur, I would say, of his suicide. So besides the community life of the Epicureans there are other intermediate forms. There is also the very interesting case of Epictetus. Epictetus was a Stoic for whom the practice of speaking openly and frankly was also very important. He directed a school about which we know a few things from the four surviving volumes of Epictetus' Discourses as recorded by Arrian. We know, for example, that Epictetus' school was located at Nicopolis in a permanent structure which enabled students to share in a real community life. Public lectures and teaching sessions were given where the public was invited, and where individuals could ask questionsalthough sometimes such individuals were mocked and twitted by the masters. We also know that Epictetus conducted both public conversations and interviews. His school was a kind of école normale for those who wanted to become philosophers or moral advisors.

Extractions: bottom of page One of the most influential mathematicians of ancient Greece, Euclid flourished around 300 B.C. Not much is known about the life of Euclid. One story which reveals something about Euclid's character concerns a pupil who had just completed his first lesson in geometry. The pupil asked what he would get from learning geometry. So Euclid told his slave to give the pupil a coin so he would be gaining something from his studies. Included in the many works of Euclid is Data , concerning the solution of problems through geometric analysis, On Divisions (of Figures) , the Optics , the Phenomena , a treatise on spherical geometry for astronomers, several lost works on higher geometry, and the Elements , a thirteen volume textbook on geometry. The Elements , which surely became a classic soon after its publication, eventually became the most influential textbook in the history of civilization. In fact, it has been said that apart from the Bible , the Elements is the most widely read and studied book in the world.
