Appendix: Selection of Original Texts Appendix: Selection of original texts A.1 Plato: “The Republic” Following his well known “Allegory of the Cave” Plato developed the educa- tional program for the prospective people responsible for the state in the 7th book of “The Republic” – by letting Socrates explain his ideas in a dialogue with some partners. It is meant to enable them to recognise the unchange- able being and the truth based on this behind all perishable appearances of becoming and decaying. He argues that studying the four mathematical sciences is indispensible for this. Here, some extracts from the conditions Socrates lists: “And our guardian is both warrior and philosopher? Certainly. Then this is a kind of knowledge which legislation may fitly prescribe; and wemustendeavourtopersuadethosewhoareprescribetobetheprincipal men of our State to go and learn arithmetic, not as amateurs, but they must carry on the study until they see the nature of numbers with the mind only; nor again, like merchants or retail-traders, with a view to buying or selling, but for the sake of their military use, and of the soul herself; and because this will be the easiest way for her to pass from becoming to truth and being. That is excellent, he said. (...) Let this then be made one of our subjects of education. And next, shall we enquire whether the kindred science also concerns us? You mean geometry? Exactly so. Clearly, he said, we are concerned with that part of geometry which relates to war; for in pitching a camp, or taking up a position, or closing or extending the lines of an army, or any other military manoeuvre, whether in actual battle or on a march, it will make all the difference whether a general is or is not a geometrician. Yes, I said, but for that purpose a very little of either geometry or calculation will be enough; the question relates rather to the greater and more advanced part of geometry — whether that tends in any degree to make more easy the vision of the idea of good; and thither, as I was saying, all things tend which compel the soul to turn her gaze towards that place, where is the full perfection of being, which she ought, by all means, to behold. True, he said. Then if geometry compels us to view being, it concerns us; if becoming only, it does not concern us? (...) And suppose we make astronomy the third — what do you say? © Springer Basel 2015 565 C.J. Scriba, P. Schreiber, 5000 Years of Geometry, DOI 10.1007/978-3-0348-0898-9 566 Appendix I am strongly inclined to it, he said; the observation of the seasons and of months and years is as essential to the general as it is to the farmer or sailor. I am amused, I said, at your fear of the world, which makes you guard against the appearance of insisting upon useless studies; and I quite admit the diffi- culty of believing that in every man there is an eye of the soul which, when by other pursuits lost and dimmed, is by these purified and re-illumined; and is more precious far than ten thousand bodily eyes, for by it alone is truth seen. (...) Then, I said, in astronomy, as in geometry, we should employ problems, and let the heavens alone if we would approach the subject in the right way and so make the natural gift of reason to be of any real use. (...) The second, I said, would seem relatively to the ears to be what the first is to the eyes; for I conceive that as the eyes are designed to look up at the stars, so are the ears to hear harmonious motions; and these are sister sciences — as the Pythagoreans say, and we, Glaucon, agree with them? Yes, he replied. (...) Now, when all these studies reach the point of inter-communion and connec- tion with one another, and come to be considered in their mutual affinities, then, I think, but not till then, will the pursuit of them have a value for our objects; otherwise there is no profit in them.” [Plato: The Republic (On shadows and realities in education), Plain Label Books: translated by Benjamin Jowett, 1930, p. 431 – 445] A.2 Archimedes: Introduction to treatise “On Spirals” Differently to the other scholars, who worked at the Musaeum in Alexan- dria and could converse with their colleagues there about their research, Archimedes worked very isolated in his hometown Syracuse on the island of Sicily. In contrast to, e.g., Euclid, who did not start his “Elements” with any kind of explanatory introduction at all, Archimedes stated details on the motives, which had inspired him to his investigations, in accompanying let- ters to some of his texts, which he sent to the mathematicians in Alexandria. After his friend Conon had died, he addressed several letters to Dositheus, since he had heard that he had also been Conon’s friend and, furthermore, was a experienced mathematician. “Archimedes to Dositheus greeting. Of most of the theorems which I sent to Conon, and of which you ask me from time to time to send you the proofs, the demonstrations are already before you in the books brought to you by Heracleides; and some more are also contained in that which I now send you. Do not be surprised at my taking a considerable time before publishing these proofs. This has been owing to my A.2 Archimedes: Introduction to treatise “On Spirals” 567 desire to communicate them first to persons engaged in mathematical studies and anxious to investigate them. In fact, how many theorems in geometry which have seemed at first impracticable are in time successfully worked out! Now Conon died before he had sufficient time to investigate the theorems referred to; otherwise he would have discovered and made manifest all these things, and would have enriched geometry by many other discoveries besides. For I know well that it was no common ability that he brought to bear on mathematics, and that his industry was extraordinary. But, though many years have elapsed since Conon’s death, I do not find that any one of the problems has been stirred by a single person. I wish now to put them in review one by one, particularly as it happens that there are two included among them which are impossible of realisation [and which may serve as a warning] how those who claim to discover everything but generate no proofs of the same may be confuted as having actually pretended to discover the impossible. What are the problems I mean, and what are those of which you have already received the proofs, and those of which the proofs are contained in this book respectively, I think it proper to specify. The first of the problems was, given a sphere, to find a plane area equal to the surface of the sphere; and this was first made manifest on the publication of the book concerning the sphere, for, when it is once proved that the surface of any sphere is four times the greatest circle in the sphere, it is clear, that it is possible to find a plane area equal to the surface of the sphere. [Six more problems concerning the sphere follow.] Of all the propositions just enumerated Heracleides brought you the proofs. The proposition stated next after these was wrong (...). If a sphere be cut into unequal parts by a plane at right angles to any diameter in the sphere, the greater segment of the surface will have to the less the same ratio as the greater segment of the sphere has to the less a ratio less than the duplicate ratio of that which the greater surface has to the less, but greater than the sesquialterate of that ratio. After these came the following proposition about the spiral, which are as it were another sort of problem having nothing in common with the foregoing; and I have written out the proofs of them for you in this book. They are as follows. If a straight line of which one extremity remains fixed be made to revolve at a uniform rate in a plane until it returns to the position from which it started, and if, at the same time as the straight line revolves, a point moves at a uniform rate along the straight line, starting from the fixed extremity, the point will describe a spiral in the plane. I say then that the area bounded by the spiral and the straight line which had returned to the position from which it started is a third part of the circle described with the fixed point as centre and with radius the length traversed by the point along the straight line during the one revolution... .” [Archimedes: The works of Archimedes. Translated and edited by T. L. Heath, (1897), published by Cambridge University Press, p.151 – 154] 568 Appendix A.3 Pope Gregory the Great mentions the art of land surveying One of the last mentions of the Roman art of land surveying is found in a letter by Pope Gregory the Great from July 597: Gregory to John, the Bishop of Syracuse: “To prevent disputes about secular matters estranging the hearts of the faith- ful, great care must be taken that a dispute may be settled as easily as pos- sible. We have learnt from Caesarius, Abbot of the Monastery of St. Peter at Baiae [at the Golf of Naples], that a serious dispute has arisen between him and John, Abbot of the Monastery of St.

  • Ricci (Matteo)
    Ricci (Matteo) 利瑪竇 （1552-1610） Matteo Ricci‟s portrait painted on the 12th May, 1610 (the day after Ricci‟s death 11-May-1610) by the Chinese brother Emmanuel Pereira (born Yu Wen-hui), who had learned his art from the Italian Jesuit, Giovanni Nicolao. It is the first oil painting ever made in China by a Chinese painter.The age, 60 (last word of the Latin inscription), is incorrect: Ricci died during his fifty-eighth year. The portrait was taken to Rome in 1614 and displayed at the Jesuit house together with paintings of Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier. It still hangs there. Matteo Ricci was born on the 6th Oct 1552, in central Italy, in the city of Macerata, which at that time was territory of the Papal State. He first attended for seven years a School run by the Jesuit priests in Macerata, later he went to Rome to study Law at the Sapienza University, but was attracted to the religious life. In 1571 ( in opposition to his father's wishes), he joined the Society of Jesus and studied at the Jesuit college in Rome (Collegio Romano). There he met a famous German Jesuit professor of mathematics, Christopher Clavius, who had a great influence on the young and bright Matteo. Quite often, Ricci in his letters from China will remember his dear professor Clavius, who taught him the basic scientific elements of mathematics, astrology, geography etc. extremely important for his contacts with Chinese scholars. Christopher Clavius was not a wellknown scientist in Europe at that time, but at the “Collegio Romano”, he influenced many young Jesuits.

  • Strategies of Defending Astrology: a Continuing Tradition
    Strategies of Defending Astrology: A Continuing Tradition by Teri Gee A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto © Copyright by Teri Gee (2012) Strategies of Defending Astrology: A Continuing Tradition Teri Gee Doctorate of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Astrology is a science which has had an uncertain status throughout its history, from its beginnings in Greco-Roman Antiquity to the medieval Islamic world and Christian Europe which led to frequent debates about its validity and what kind of a place it should have, if any, in various cultures. Written in the second century A.D., Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos is not the earliest surviving text on astrology. However, the complex defense given in the Tetrabiblos will be treated as an important starting point because it changed the way astrology would be justified in Christian and Muslim works and the influence Ptolemy’s presentation had on later works represents a continuation of the method introduced in the Tetrabiblos. Abû Ma‘shar’s Kitâb al- Madkhal al-kabîr ilâ ‘ilm ahk. âm al-nujûm, written in the ninth century, was the most thorough surviving defense from the Islamic world. Roger Bacon’s Opus maius, although not focused solely on advocating astrology, nevertheless, does contain a significant defense which has definite links to the works of both Abû Ma‘shar and Ptolemy. As such, he demonstrates another stage in the development of astrology.

  • Break out Sessions Speakers for October 3, 2019
    BREAK OUT SESSIONS SPEAKERS FOR OCTOBER 3, 2019 (This schedule may be subject to changes. Please see the final schedule at the conference itself.) Oct. 3, 2019, Aula 10 (coordinated by Joseph d’Amecourt, OP) 2:30 pm Emmanuel Durand, OP “Who delineates the Impossible?” In this talk, I will attempt to bring omnipotence and almightiness together. Searching for integration and unity relies on the assumption that reason and faith aim at the very same truth who is God's Wisdom, embodied in the created order and in the Paschal mystery. Instead of fostering a sharp divide between almightiness and omnipotence, I will argue that the very same attribute of the One God might be approached by both philosophers and theologians, relying on their different kinds of judgement. The key to this epistemological argument will be provided by Thomas Aquinas analysis of the possible and the impossible. 3:00 pm Gaston LeNotre “On the Merely Metaphysical Impossibility of the Annihilation of Creatures” Since the predicate in the statement, “the creature does not exist at all” does not contradict its subject, Thomas argues that God must be able to reduce the creature to nothing (De Potentia q. 5, a. 3). Thomas nevertheless also affirms that the created universe will never be annihilated. In the same texts where he talks about God’s ability to annihilate creatures, Thomas also outlines the reality that God does not and would not annihilate creatures. The distinction sometimes relies upon considering God’s power absolutely and considering God’s power in relation to His wisdom or foreknowledge (Quodlibet IV, q.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: October 28, 2014 Accepted: November 6, 2014 Online Published: November 13, 2014 doi:10.5539/ach.v7n1p199 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ach.v7n1p199 Abstract Xu Guangqi, one of the first and most notable Christian scholars in the Ming Dynasty, cast a profound influence on the spread of Catholicism in Shanghai. After his conversion, Xu Guangqi successfully proselytized all of his family members by kinship and affinity, a fact that was foundational to the development of Jesuit missionary work in Shanghai. His social relationships with pupils, friends, and officials also significantly facilitated the proliferation of Catholicism in Shanghai. This paper expands the current body of literature on Chinese–Christian scholar Xu Guangqi and his role in the spread of Catholicism in Shanghai during the late Ming and early Qing. Though there are several extant studies on this topic, most of them focus on Xu’s personal achievements and neglect the areas that this paper picks up: the role of Xu’s family and social status in his proliferate evangelism, and the longevity his influence had even beyond his own time. Through this approach, this paper aims to attain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of Xu Guangqi’s influence on the dissemination and perdurance of Catholicism in Shanghai.

Md Koya chair Professor, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala , Dr. S. N. Alam Assistant Professor, Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, National Institute of Technology Rourkela, Rourkela, India This article briefly summarizes the journey of mathematics. The subject is expanding at a fast rate Abstract and it sometimes makes it essential to look back into the history of this marvelous subject. The pillars of this subject and their contributions have been briefly studied here. Since early civilization, mathematics has helped mankind solve very complicated problems. Mathematics has been a common language which has united mankind. Mathematics has been the heart of our education system right from the school level. Creating interest in this subject and making it friendlier to students’ right from early ages is essential. Understanding the subject as well as its history are both equally important. This article briefly discusses the ancient, the medieval, and the present age of mathematics and some notable mathematicians who belonged to these periods. Mathematics is the abstract study of different areas that include, but not limited to, numbers, 1.Introduction quantity, space, structure, and change. In other words, it is the science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from elemental practices of counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects. Mathematicians seek out patterns and formulate new conjectures. They resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proofs, which are arguments sufficient to convince other mathematicians of their validity.

  • THE INVENTION of ATOMIST ICONOGRAPHY 1. Introductory
    THE INVENTION OF ATOMIST ICONOGRAPHY Christoph Lüthy Center for Medieval and Renaissance Natural Philosophy University of Nijmegen1 1. Introductory Puzzlement For centuries now, particles of matter have invariably been depicted as globules. These glob- ules, representing very different entities of distant orders of magnitudes, have in turn be used as pictorial building blocks for a host of more complex structures such as atomic nuclei, mole- cules, crystals, gases, material surfaces, electrical currents or the double helixes of DNA. May- be it is because of the unsurpassable simplicity of the spherical form that the ubiquity of this type of representation appears to us so deceitfully self-explanatory. But in truth, the spherical shape of these various units of matter deserves nothing if not raised eyebrows.

  • Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony
    he collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of TChristian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, reli- gious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the histori- an Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-University Göttingen.

  • On the Chiral Archimedean Solids Dedicated to Prof
    Beitr¨agezur Algebra und Geometrie Contributions to Algebra and Geometry Volume 43 (2002), No. 1, 121-133. On the Chiral Archimedean Solids Dedicated to Prof. Dr. O. Kr¨otenheerdt Bernulf Weissbach Horst Martini Institut f¨urAlgebra und Geometrie, Otto-von-Guericke-Universit¨atMagdeburg Universit¨atsplatz2, D-39106 Magdeburg Fakult¨atf¨urMathematik, Technische Universit¨atChemnitz D-09107 Chemnitz Abstract. We discuss a unified way to derive the convex semiregular polyhedra from the Platonic solids. Based on this we prove that, among the Archimedean solids, Cubus simus (i.e., the snub cube) and Dodecaedron simum (the snub do- decahedron) can be characterized by the following property: it is impossible to construct an edge from the given diameter of the circumsphere by ruler and com- pass. Keywords: Archimedean solids, enantiomorphism, Platonic solids, regular poly- hedra, ruler-and-compass constructions, semiregular polyhedra, snub cube, snub dodecahedron 1. Introduction Following Pappus of Alexandria, Archimedes was the first person who described those 13 semiregular convex polyhedra which are named after him: the Archimedean solids. Two representatives from this family have various remarkable properties, and therefore the Swiss pedagogicians A. Wyss and P. Adam called them “Sonderlinge” (eccentrics), cf. [25] and [1]. Other usual names are Cubus simus and Dodecaedron simum, due to J. Kepler [17], or snub cube and snub dodecahedron, respectively. Immediately one can see the following property (characterizing these two polyhedra among all Archimedean solids): their symmetry group contains only proper motions. There- fore these two polyhedra are the only Archimedean solids having no plane of symmetry and having no center of symmetry. So each of them occurs in two chiral (or enantiomorphic) forms, both having different orientation.

  • Bolyai, János
    JÁNOS BOLYAI (December 15, 1802 – January 27, 1860) by Heinz Klaus Strick, Germany The portrait of the young man depicted on the Hungarian postage stamp of 1960 is that of JÁNOS BOLYAI, one of Hungary’s most famous mathematicians. The portrait, however, was painted only after his death, so it is anyone’s guess whether it is a good likeness. JÁNOS grew up in Transylvania (at the time, part of the Habsburg Empire, today part of Romania) as the son of the respected mathematician FARKAS BOLYAI. JÁNOS’s father, born in 1775, has attended school only until the age of 12, and was then appointed tutor to the eight-year-old son, SIMON, a scion of the wealthy noble KEMÉNY family. Three years later, he and his young charge together continued their educations at the Calvinist College in Kolozsvár. In 1796, he accompanied SIMON first to Jena, and then to Göttingen, where they attended university together. FARKAS had many interests, but now he finally had enough time to devote himself systematically to the study of mathematics. Through lectures given by ABRAHAM GOTTHELF KÄSTNER, he came to know his contemporary CARL FRIEDRICH GAUSS, and the two became friends. In autumn 1798, SIMON KEMÉNY returned home, leaving his “tutor” penniless in Göttingen; it was only a year later that FARKAS was able to return home, on foot. There he married and took an (ill-paying) position as a lecturer in mathematics, physics, and chemistry at the Calvinist College in Marosvásárhely (today Târgu Mures, Romania). To supplement his income, he wrote plays and built furnaces.
