		"Hypatia", Elbert Hubbard, 1928 ^Votes:0 Hypatia by Elbert Hubbard in Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great , Vol. X , Great Teachers Done into a book by the Roycrofters at their shops in East Aurora, Erie County, New York page 270 Neo-platonism is a progressive philosophy, and does not expect to state final conditions to men whose minds are finite. Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond. - Hypatia Hypatia page 271 The father of Hypatia was Theon, a noted mathematician and astronomer of Alexandria. He would have been regarded as a very great man had he not been cast into the shadow by his daughter. Let male parents beware. At that time, astronomy and astrology were one.

		Chad Hansen's Chinese Philosophy Page (Daoist Interpretations) ^Votes:0 Chad Hansen's Chinese Philosophy Pages Daoist-oriented interpretations This site contains segments of an extended interpretive theory of Classical Chinese philosophy that takes Daoism (Taoism) as the philosophical center . The interpretive theory turns on a new, more philosophical reading of the Daoist philosopher Zhuangzi (ChuangTzu 莊子 ). My analysis highlights skeptical and relativist themes in his thinking. The crucial novelty is the assumption that Zhuangzi was a philosopher of language , like his close friend and philosophical interlocutor, Hui Shi , . He was deeply engaged with the linguistic and other insights of the Later Mohists (sometimes called Neo-Mohists or Dialectical Mohists) and the School of Names . His relation to the other famous Daoist, Laozi (Lao Tzu) is Read More Go to Site

ACADEMIC METAPHYSICS The term metaphysics originally referred to the writings of Aristotle that came after his writings on physics, in the arrangement made by Andronicus of Rhodes about three centuries after Aristotle's death. Traditionally, metaphysics refers to the branch of philosophy that attempts to understand the fundamental nature of all reality, whether visible or invisible. It seeks a description so basic, so essentially simple, so all-inclusive that it applies to everything, whether divine or human or anything else. It attempts to tell what anything must be like in order to be at all. To call one a metaphysician in this traditional, philoso Read More Go to Site

		MUF Mastery - Marvin Minsky ^Votes:0 Go to the first , previous , next , last section, table of contents . Marvin Minsky Marvin Minsky is one of the grand old men of artificial intelligence. He hangs out at MIT, probably because it's name starts with M... I like Minsky because in a field (artificial intelligence) without a great deal to show for its early promises, and given to sometimes silly claims and ideas, he strikes me as one of the few people consistently able to see the obvious. He's been widely blamed for setting back the field of neural net computing twenty years, for the sin of publicly observing that the Perceptron (the state of the art back then) was inherently limited to linearly seperable distinctions, and hence was hardly a beeline to artificial intelligence. He was right, and many people have never forgiven h Read More Go to Site

		The Primary Sources for the Life and Work of Hypatia of Alexandria ^Votes:0 The Primary Sources for the Life and Work of Hypatia of Alexandria by Michael A. B. Deakin History of Mathematics Paper 63 August 1995 Mathematics Department Monash University Clayton 3168, Australia The author may be reached at michael.deakin@sci.monash.edu.au Introduction Historians need to say of the past events they recount not only what happened but also how we know it . This latter question is usually answered by references to sources , that is to say earlier accounts of the matter in hand. We distinguish between two types of source: primary and secondary. The former are those that cannot be traced back any further, the latter those that in their turn do depend on earlier accounts. Primary sources are not necessarily correct in all their detail (indeed those for Hypatia contradict on Read More Go to Site

		Why Study Philosophy? ^Votes:0 Why Study Philosophy? Pro Con Reasons For Many University Philosophy Departments have sections entitled "Why Study Philosophy?" Most of them cover the same basic points, and you'll soon get a feel for the main reasons. Below I link to a few examples of such sections; some of them are slanted more towards career prospects, others more towards personal development. The U.S. ones in particular are often rather regionally specific with regard to education and employment details. To find more sites, just enter "why study philosophy?" into any search engine (how do you think I found the ones below?). My own advice would be that you should study philosophy if you enjoy it; indeed, that's the best reason for studying anything — and if that means the closure of Management Read More Go to Site
