  • Science and Philosophy in the Academy

    István Bodnár, István M BodnárARTICLEActa Antiqua Academiae…2002

    The evidence for a philosophical project assignment for the mathematical sciences in the Academy can be traced back to the generation after Plato, and as such it is the result of philosophical reflection on the intellectual enterprise pursued at the Academy. This is then contrasted with the histories of the mathematical sciences compiled in Aristotle's school, which acknowledged the methodological and ontological independence of these disciplines

  • Atomic Independence and Indivisibility

    István Bodnár, István M BodnárCHAPTEROxford Studies in Ancient…1998

    Aristotle on several occasions voices a two-pronged principle of the atomists, that no plurality may emerge from real unity and no unity from what is real plurality. Understandably, the first injunction has been studied far more extensively than the second. The impossibility of the emergence of a plurality from what is really a unit is a constitutive feature of those indivisible bits of being which, precisely on this account, can be called atomic…

    Open AccessIstván Bodnár, István M BodnárARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1988References: 1

    Anaximander is the first philosopher whose theory of the heavens is preserved in broad outlines. According to the sources the celestial bodies are huge rings of compressed air around the earth, each visible only where it is perforated by a tubular vent through which the fire contained in it can shine. Greatest and farthest of them is the sun, next comes the moon and under them there is the ring (or possibly rings) of the stars. It is a common pra…
