Book Description
Moses wrote that God created man, a living soul. Plato wrote that God geometrizes. If the soul is thought of as the threefold principle of life--thinking, feeling, and action--and the triangle is a form with three sides, is there a connection? The author's dream experience seems to say yes. Join the Harry Kretz in a journey in realizing that geometric constructions relate to and express states of the human soul.

Mathematical Commentaries in the Ancient World
Author: Karine Chemla
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108880932
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
This is the first book-length analysis of the techniques and procedures of ancient mathematical commentaries. It focuses on examples in Chinese, Sanskrit, Akkadian and Sumerian, and Ancient Greek, presenting the general issues by constant detailed reference to these commentaries, of which substantial extracts are included in the original languages and in translation, sometimes for the first time. This makes the issues accessible to readers without specialized training in mathematics or in the languages involved. The result is a much richer understanding than was hitherto possible of the crucial role of commentaries in the history of mathematics in four different linguistic areas, of the nature of mathematical commentaries in general, of the contribution that the study of mathematical commentaries can make to the history of science and to the study of commentaries in general, and of the ways in which mathematical commentaries are like and unlike other kinds of commentaries.

Aquinas on Matter and Form and the Elements
Author: Joseph Bobik
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 0268076332
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
Joseph Bobik offers a translation of Aquinas’s De Principiis Naturae (circa 1252) and De Mixtione Elementorum (1273) accompanied by a continuous commentary, followed by two essays: “Elements in the Composition of Physical Substances” and “The Elements in Aquinas and the Elements Today.” The Principles of Nature introduces the reader to the basic Aristotelian principles such as matter and form, the four causes so fundamental to Aquinas’s philosophy. On Mixture of the Elements examines the question of how the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water) remain within the physical things composed from them.

Proclus: Commentary on Plato's 'Republic'
Author:
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009234099
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
The commentary on Plato's Republic by Proclus (d. 485 CE), which takes the form of a series of essays, is the only sustained treatment of the dialogue to survive from antiquity. This three-volume edition presents the first complete English translation of Proclus' text, together with a general introduction that argues for the unity of Proclus' Commentary and orients the reader to the use which the Neoplatonists made of Plato's Republic in their educational program. Each volume is completed by a Greek word index and an English-Greek glossary that will help non-specialists to track the occurrence of key terms throughout the translated text. The second volume of the edition presents Proclus' essays on the tripartite soul and the virtues, female philosopher rulers, and the metaphysics and epistemology of the central books of the Republic. The longest of the essays in Volume II interprets the nature and significance of the 'marriage number' whose miscalculation leads to the degeneration of the ideal city-state.
