Extractions: Died: about 300 BC Euclid is the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his treatise on geometry The Elements . The long lasting nature ofThe Elements must make Euclid the leading mathematics teacher of all time. Little is known of Euclid's life except that he taught at Alexandria in Egypt. Euclid's most famous work is his treatise on geometry The Elements . The book was a compilation of geometrical knowledge that became the centre of mathematical teaching for 2000 years. Probably no results in The Elements were first proved by Euclid but the organisation of the material and its exposition are certainly due to him. The Elements begins with definitions and axioms, including the famous fifth, or parallel, postulate that one and only one line can be drawn through a point parallel to a given line. Euclid's decision to make this an axiom led to Euclidean geometry. It was not until the 19th century that this axiom was dropped and non-euclidean geometries were studied.

Extractions: you , who fit neither of them, who under the democracy were the most violent hater of the people-and who under the oligarchy have become equally violent as a hater of oligarchical merit? I am, and always have been, Critias, an enemy both to extreme democracy and to oligarchical tyranny. I desire to constitute our political community out of those who can serve it on horseback and with / 70 / heavy armor;-I have proposed this once, and I still stand to it. I side neither with democracy nor despots, to the exclusion of the dignified citizens. Prove that I am now, or ever have been, guilty of such crime, and I shall confess myself deserving of ignominious death." Where was Socrates through all this? There can be little doubt that he was very intimate with the oligarchical leaders, many of whom he had instructed in the notion that only the good and the wise and the true should rule; that government was not an art that could be picked up at random by the "man in the street," but depended on "knowledge, knowledge of ultimate principles of the "good" and the "just,"-knowledge which could only be gained by study and a painful askesis Neither Socrates nor, for that matter, Plato made any at. tempt to conceal their criticisms of Athenian democracy, its de-/ 71 / pendence (as they thought) on the whim of the multitude and the caprice of the lot;" nor did they conceal their preference for Sparta's more aristocratic, oligarchic and servile organization of society." Moreover the essence of Socrates' teaching was, as we have seen, profoundly anti-democratic, striking at the very theoretical roots on which the democratic way of life (even in a slave-owning democracy) was founded. It is only when the logic of political struggle produces a Critias, that such men as Theramenes and Socrates draw back in virtuous horror. However much we may excuse Socrates from any responsibility or sanction of the actual violence committed, we must nevertheless realize that the instinct of the democracy was profoundly right when it saw in him the evil genius behind the scene; the

Extractions: Epicureanism The Epicurean school Epicurus successor in the direction of the Garden was Hermarchus of Mitylene, and he was succeeded in turn by Polystratus, who was the last survivor to have heard Epicurus. Superior to both, however, were Metrodorus and Colotes, against whom a small work by Plutarch was directed. Among the Epicureans of the 2 nd century BC, mention must be made of Demetrius of Lacon, of whose works some fragments remain, and Apollodorus , who wrote more than 400 books. Much was also written by his disciple Zeno of Sidon, who was heard by Cicero in 79 BC in Athens. After Zeno, there were Phaedrus, also a teacher of Cicero, who was in Rome in 90 BC, and Patro, the head of the school until 51 BC. Already famous as an epigram writer was Philodemus of Gadara (born 110 BC). In the papyri of Herculaneum, comprising the effects of Philodemus library, there are sizable remains of almost all of his numerous works. Epicureanism had already been introduced in Rome, in the 2 nd century BC. The first person to spread its doctrines in Latin prose was a certain Amafinius. At the time of Cicero, Epicureanism was in fact the philosophy in vogue; and the number of Romans subscribing to it was, according to Cicero, very large. Among the greatest was Titus Lucretius Carus ( c.

He is said by Heraclides (in his Epitome of Sotion ) as well as by others, to have been brought up at Samos after the Athenians had sent colonists there and to have come to Athens at the age of eighteen, at the time when Xenocrates was head of the Academy and Aristotle was in Chalcis. After the death of Alexander of Macedon and the expulsion of the Athenian colonists from Samos by Perdiccas, Epicurus left Athens to join his father in Colophon; for some time he stayed there and gathered students around him, then returned to Athens again during the archonship of Anaxicrates [307-306 B.C.]. For a while, it is said, he pursued his studies in common with other philosophers, but afterwards put forward independent views by founding the school named after him.

Extractions: Died: about 265 BC in Alexandria, Egypt E uclid of Alexandria is the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his treatise on mathematics The Elements . The long lasting nature of The Elements must make Euclid the leading mathematics teacher of all time. However little is known of Euclid's life except that he taught at Alexandria in Egypt. Proclus, the last major Greek philosopher, who lived around 450 AD wrote (see [1] or [9] or many other sources):- Not much younger than these [pupils of Plato] is Euclid, who put together the elements, arranging in order many of Eudoxus's theorems, perfecting many of Theaetetus's, and also bringing to irrefutable demonstration the things which had been only loosely proved by his predecessors. This man lived in the time of the first Ptolemy; for Archimedes, who followed closely upon the first Ptolemy makes mention of Euclid, and further they say that Ptolemy once asked him if there were a shorted way to study geometry than the Elements, to which he replied that there was no royal road to geometry. He is therefore younger than Plato's circle, but older than Eratosthenes and Archimedes; for these were contemporaries, as Eratosthenes somewhere says. In his aim he was a Platonist, being in sympathy with this philosophy, whence he made the end of the whole Elements the construction of the so-called Platonic figures. There is other information about Euclid given by certain authors but it is not thought to be reliable. Two different types of this extra information exists. The first type of extra information is that given by Arabian authors who state that Euclid was the son of Naucrates and that he was born in Tyre. It is believed by historians of mathematics that this is entirely fictitious and was merely invented by the authors.

Some writers, and among them Heraclides, in his Abridgment of Sotion , say, that as the Athenians had Colonis and Samos, he was brought up there, and came to Athens in his eighteenth year, while Xenocrates was president of the Academy, and Aristotle at Chalcis. But after the death of Alexander, the Macedonian, when the Athenians were driven out of Samos by Perdiccas, Epicurus went to Colophon to his father.

Extractions: [p. 29] It is well known that the commentary of Proclus on Eucl. Book I. is one of the two main sources of information as to the history of Greek geometry which we possess, the other being the Collection of Pappus. 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. In this connexion a passage is quoted from Simplicius who, in his account of the quadrature of certain lunes by Hippocrates of Chios, while mentioning two authorities for his statements, Alexander Aphrodisiensis (about 220 A.D.) and Eudemus, says in one place , âAs regards Hippocrates of Chios we must pay more attention to Eudemus

Extractions: Vers 150 vers 70 av J.C. Zéno de Sidon est né dans la ville de Sidon. Cette ville était une très ancienne cité phénicienne dont la fondation remonte au troisième millénaire avant J.C. Comptoir maritime très important, elle eut à subir de multiples invasions et passa sous la domination de plusieurs peuples. Zéno de Sidon était un disciple dEpicure. Or, il est bien connu quEpicure ne se souciait que de la recherche du bonheur (plaisir) et quil éprouvait une grande aversion pour les Mathématiques. Zéno fut un élève dun certain Apollodorus (fervent défenseur de lépicurisme et qui écrivit plus de 400 livres) et sur la fin de sa vie, il enseigna lui même dans le fameux « Jardin » dAthènes qui était en fait le nom de lEcole fondée par Epicure dans le jardin de sa propre maison. Zéno était un homme très éclectique qui écrivit sur un nombre considérable de sujets : la Logique, lAtomisme, la Biologie, lEthique, la Littérature, lEloquence, la Poésie, la Théorie de la connaissance et bien sûr les Mathématiques. Excepté sur ces deux derniers sujets, nous ne savons pratiquement rien de ses écrits qui ont pratiquement complètement disparu. Toute sa philosophie reposait sur sa conviction que la Connaissance « vraie » ne pouvait provenir que de lExpérience (de la multitude des expériences humaines) et pas dun Raisonnement « abstrait ».

Extractions: (Chapter 3: The Academy and the Porch) by E. Vernon Arnold (1857 - 1926) realist is . But just as Plato holds that general conceptions are alone true and real, so he necessarily maintains that objects perceivable by the senses are only half-real, and that the ordinary man lives in a world of illusions. Thus the thoughts of the philosopher are separated by an abyss from the world in which men live and die. The ideal State is modeled on the individual man. To the three parts of the soul correspond three classes of citizens; the rulers, whose virtue is Wisdom; the guardians, on whom Courage is incumbent; the laborers and tradesmen, who owe the State Soberness and obedience. Thus the political system to which Plato leans is that of an Aristocracy; for the middle class in his state has only an executive part in the government, and the lower orders are entirely excluded from it. Aristotle thus reinstates the credit of the common man; he it is who possesses the substance of truth and gives it habitual expression by speech, even roughly indicating the various kinds of existence by different forms of words. It is now indicated that a study of grammar is required as the foundation of logic. In the study of physics Aristotle picks up the thread which Socrates had dropped deliberately, that is, the teaching of the Ionic philosophers. Either directly from Empedocles, or from a

La decision de Euclides de hacer de este un axioma llevo a la generacion de la geometria Euclidiana. No fue sino hasta el siglo XIX cuando este axioma fue derribado y otras geometrias no euclidianas empezaron a ser estudiadas. Euclides pudo no haber sido un matematico de primera clase pero la importancia de su obra lo convierte en el maestro de los matematicos de todos los tiempos.
