Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is a monograph titled, "Comogony and Stereometry in Posidonian Physics" by Professor John R. Mattingly, Professor Emeritus in Classics, Hamilton College, now deceased. The essay was published in 1937 by Saint Catherine Press in Bruges, Belgium, in their serial monographic series, "Osiris - Studies on the History and Philosophy of Science, and on the History of Learning and Culture.", (Volume III, Part 2.) Posidonius of Apameia (135 - 51? BC) was an ancient Greek stoic philosopher, who was renown in his day, but is now known mostly to classicists and historians of science. Posidonius is known for his ethics, but his contributions to cosmology are perhaps even more interesting, as well as somewhat unorthodox. He thought matter was gifted with its own form and specificity, but was then further reshaped and modeled by divine action. He thought reason to be one of the main criteria for truth, even above physical perception. The universal Macrocosm and Microcosm are formed through a systematic hierarchy upon which reason acts by controlling irrational or chaotic forces. Stereometry is concerned with the measurement of solid bodies. Professor Mattingly's essay is a brilliant, and richly nuanced examination of how the balance between the intuition of spirit acting to originate the Universe (cosmogony) and the sensual measurement of the physical world (stereometry) interacts within the laws of physics as they were perceived through the philosophy of Posidonius. At least that is my take on this fascinating paper. A fascinating monograph in which the genius of ancient Greek cosmology intersects with a brilliant mind of the 20th century.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - By North-American standards, philosophy is not new in Quebec: the first men tion of philosophy lectures given by a Jesuit in the College de Quebec (founded 1635) dates from 1665, and the oldest logic manuscript dates from 1679. In English-speaking universities such as McGill (founded 1829), philosophy began to be taught later, during the second half of the 19th century. The major influence on English-speaking philosophers was, at least initially, that of Scottish Empiricism. On the other hand, the strong influence of the Catholic Church on French-Canadian society meant that the staff of the facultes of the French-speaking universities consisted, until recently, almost entirely of Thomist philosophers. There was accordingly little or no work in modem Formal Logic and Philosophy of Science and precious few contacts between the philosophical communities. In the late forties, Hugues Leblanc was a young student wanting to learn Formal Logic. He could not find anyone in Quebec to teach him and he went to study at Harvard University under the supervision of W. V. Quine. His best friend Maurice L' Abbe had left, a year earlier, for Princeton to study with Alonzo Church. After receiving his Ph. D from Harvard in 1948, Leblanc started his profes sional career at Bryn Mawr College, where he stayed until 1967. He then went to Temple University, where he taught until his retirement in 1992, serving as Chair of the Department of Philosophy from 1973 until 1979.…
