A. M. S. Boethius Selbstdenken heißt den obersten Probierstein der Wahrheit in sich selbst (d. i. in seiner Vernunft) suchen; und die Maxime, jederzeit selbst zu denken, ist die Aufklärung Immanuel Kant einleitung Philosophie beansprucht, eine eigene Praxis des legitimen Wissenserwerbs zu sein. Neben den empirischen Wissenschaften will sie ein für den Menschen relevantes Wissen generieren. In ihrem Anspruch wird sie jedoch nicht immer anerkannt. Nehmen wir nur als Beispiel die Wissenschaftsgeschichte, die sich in ihren Studien mit den unterschiedlichen Arten des Wissens in der neuzeitlichen Gesellschaft auseinandersetzt: Philosophie taucht hier in der Regel nur unter dem Sammelbegriff des »Aristotelismus« auf, d. h. als jene angeblich autoritäts- und büchergläubige Wissensform, welche von der neuzeitlichen Wissenschaft bekämpft und glücklich überwunden wurde. Sind Wissenschaftshistoriker gerade noch bereit, den aristotelischen Naturphilosophen des 17. Jahrhunderts ihre Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken, verlieren sie spätestens mit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts zunehmend das Interesse an philosophischen Theorien und Argu- menten. Wissenschaft wird dann zu jener Tätigkeit, die vor allem in Labors oder auch auf großen Forschungsexpeditionen vor sich geht. Einige wenige sind noch bereit, die Geschichtswissenschaften mit ihren Quellenstudien in histo- rischen Archiven als legitimen Untersuchungsgegenstand anzuerkennen, Ein- zelne betrachten auch die im Humanismus entwickelten philologischen Metho- den der Textexegese noch als erforschenswert.1 Philosophische Methoden der Begründung des Wissens hingegen, die nach dem 18. Jahrhundert entwickelt wurden, werden in der Regel nicht mehr berücksichtigt. Jene Form des Wissens, die in philosophischen Untersuchungen erzeugt und weitergegeben wird, fällt für die meisten bereits in den Bereich der »allgemeinen Öffentlichkeit«, d. h. jener Diskussionen, die vielleicht noch genannt werden, wenn es darum geht, einen allgemeinen historischen Kontext zu skizzieren, vor dem sich die Neuheit einer wissenschaftlichen Theorie als »Entdeckung« positiv abheben kann, der jedoch als eigenständiger Bereich der Suche nach Erkenntnis nicht ernst genommen wird. Es ist so, als ob in der Philosophie nur die ama- teurhafte Phantasie, das unsystematische Spekulieren und das an unbewiesenen Traditionen und Gerüchten hängende Vorurteil regieren, gegen die sich die neu- zeitliche Wissenschaft mit ihren Methoden gewendet hat. Immer noch scheinen viele in der Philosophie nur jene von Francis Bacon erfolgreich als bloße Idole denunzierten Meinungen zu erkennen, welche angeblich die allgemeine Öffent- lichkeit beherrschen. 1 Für Hinweise auf Studien, welche die Entwicklung der historischen und der philologischen Wissenschaften als Teil der Entstehung der neuzeitlichen Wissenschaft betrachten: Arnold 2004a. 9 Sicher, es gibt heute bereits Wissenschaftsforscher, die das Wissen der »Laien« gegenüber dem Wissen der Experten aufwerten; die zeigen, wie die Einbeziehung ihres Wissens und ihrer Erfahrung in öffentlichen Debatten hel- fen kann, gesellschaftliche Entscheidungen zu verbessern, da es wichtige Fragen gibt, welche sich nicht mit den Instrumenten wissenschaftlicher Expertise beant- worten lassen. Doch hat die Aufwertung des nichtwissenschaftlichen Wissens und der Öffentlichkeit nicht in gleicher Weise zur Aufwertung der Philosophie geführt, deren Methoden daraufhin untersucht werden könnten, welche Art des Wissens sie begründen. Und sei es nur, um – zumindest versuchsweise – die Erkenntnisansprüche der Philosophie wieder ernstzunehmen und in ihnen mehr zu sehen als bloß ungeprüfte Meinungen und haltlose Spekulationen. Das von der Wissenschaftsforschung gezeichnete Bild steht hier nur als ein Beispiel für das heute allgemein verbreitete Bild der Wissenschaft und der Phi- losophie, wie es von deren besten Vertretern in durchaus differenzierter Weise entfaltet wird. Selbst Philosophen haben innerhalb der Wissenschaftstheorie an diesem

DEDICATED TO THE PROVOST AND FELLOWS OF TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN ^€LV0(TVVr]9 €V€Ka www.24grammata.com www.24grammata.com PREFACE The present essay is the sequel of an article on Greek music which the author contributed to the new edition of Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities (London, 1890-91, art. Musica). In that article the long-standing controversy regarding the nature of the ancient musical Modes was briefly noticed, and some reasons w^ere given for dissenting from the views maintained by Westphal, and now very generally accepted. A full discussion of the subject would have taken up more space than was then at the author's disposal, and he accordingly pro- posed to the Delegates of the Clarendon Press to treat the question in a separate form. He has now to thank them for undertaking the publication of a work which is necessarily addressed to a very limited circle.

  • The Geodetic Sciences in Byzantium
    The geodetic sciences in Byzantium Dimitrios A. Rossikopoulos Department of Geodesy and Surveying, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki [email protected] Abstract: Many historians of science consider that geodeasia, a term used by Aristotle meaning "surveying", was not particularly flourishing in Byzantium. However, like “lo- gistiki” (practical arithmetic), it has never ceased to be taught, not only at public universi- ties and ecclesiastical schools, as well as by private tutors. Besides that these two fields had to do with problems of daily life, Byzantines considered them necessary prerequisite for someone who wished to study philosophy. So, they did not only confine themselves to copying and saving the ancient texts, but they also wrote new ones, where they were ana- lyzing their empirical discoveries and their technological achievements. This is the subject of this paper, a retrospect of the numerous manuscripts of the Byzantine period that refer to the development of geodesy both in teaching and practices of surveying, as well as to mat- ters relating to the views about the shape of the earth, the cartography, the positioning in travels and generally the sciences of mapping. Keywords: Geodesy, geodesy in Byzantium, history of geodesy, history of surveying, history of mathematics. Περίληψη: Πολλοί ιστορικοί των επιστημών θεωρούν ότι η γεωδαισία, όρος που χρησι- μοποίησε ο Αριστοτέλης για να ορίσει την πρακτική γεωμετρία, την τοπογραφία, δεν είχε ιδιαίτερη άνθιση στο Βυζάντιο. Ωστόσο, όπως και η “λογιστική”, δεν έπαψε ποτέ να διδά- σκεται όχι μόνο στα κοσμικά πανεπιστήμια, αλλά και στις εκκλησιαστικές σχολές, καθώς επίσης και από ιδιώτες δασκάλους. Πέρα από το ότι οι δύο αυτοί κλάδοι είχαν να κάνουν με προβλήματα της καθημερινής ζωής των ανθρώπων, οι βυζαντινοί θεωρούσαν την διδα- σκαλία τους απαραίτητη προϋπόθεση ώστε να μπορεί κανείς να παρακολουθήσει μαθήμα- τα φιλοσοφίας.

  • I Trinal Unity
    I Trinal Unity: The Sources, Traditions, and Craftsmanship of Milton’s "On the Morning of Christ's Nativity" LeMoyne Mercer A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1978 ABSTRACT Although source study is a technique which has been very productive in revealing aspects of Milton’s artistry it has not been heretofore applied to n0n the Morning of Christ’s Nativity." This general source study focused particularly on Milton’s use of the Golden-Age tradition as a structurally significant aspect of the poem. Critical attention to the Nativity Ode has attributed structural unity in the poem to Milton's use of images of light/darkness and harmony/discord. This imagery is applied to three themes in the Nativity Ode: the universal peace, the music of the spheres, and the flight of the false gods. An investigation of the Golden-Age tradition revealed that these three themes are also unified by their relationship to the tradition as well as by Milton’s use of imagery. The Roman Saturnalia, which celebrated the return of Saturn and the Golden Age, is an analogue to Christmas. The universal peace which reigned at the Nativity is a characteristic of the Golden Age and the Saturnalia. The music of the spheres, which joins the angel choir at the Nativity, was audible only during man's state of innocence — the Golden Age. The flight of the false gods which occurred at the Nativity is also an aspect of Saturn’s reassertion of his position as the "true god" during the Saturnalia.

Medieval studies have now dispelled such conjectures: even in antiquity we cannot assume the continuous evolution of. one species of 'Greek music'. The main instrumental types and the main theoretical terms persist. But instruments are inadequate clues to a music predominantly vocal; and the terms of theory seldom referred to musical facts. With the notable exception of Aristoxenus, the purpose of Greek theorists was not to analyse the art of music but to expound the independent science of harmonics; and ultimately the transmission of this harmonic science had no more to do with the history of musical art than the transmission of Greek astronomy or medicine. 2 History must start from the great and obvious divergence between the fates of language and of music among Greeks who could quote their Homer for two millennia, but who ceased, after a certain point, to know their musical past except as they knew names of dead athletes.

  • THE INTERPRETATION of GREEK MUSIC Inadequacy of Our Theory
    THE INTERPRETATION OF GREEK MUSIC I. INTONATION IN GENERAL Inadequacy of our Theory. To whoever may desire to understand the music of ancient Greece, I would recommend that he put away from his mind that sense of superiority which our progress in counterpoint, harmony, form and orchestration has engendered, and devote his attention to the shortcomings of our music, for they relate to those very matters concerning which Greek music has the most to teach us. Our music has come down to us from remote ages through the Greek system. The first stage in its progress was marked by the collection of a multiplicity of Harmonies and modes, not unlike those upon which the classical music of India is based. Of the diatonic scales, some were soft, employing septimal or soft intervals, and others were hard, employing semi- tones, and major and minor tones, differing among themselves in the order in which these intervals were strung together. The Greeks may have added to this collection. Their chief contributions to musical progress, however, were instrumental heterophony and the science of intervals. They were driven to the use of the former by the tyranny of the ' metrici.' Thus the long and short of Greek poetry led indirectly to the harmonic system of music, which is one of the main achievements of European civilisation. The founda- tions of musical science were laid by Pythagoras. The results of his labours were soon apparent in the classification of the enormous number of scales in use, the adoption of a musical notation based upon an intricate system of correlated keys, and the art of modulation.
