meat products. Intentionally avoiding flesh eating first came into place as a part of rituals for short-lived purification. Evidence of vegetarianism has been found during different times and places all over the world. The teaching of Pythagoras of Samos, a philosopher, in the fifth century BC is the first recorded teaching of avoiding flesh eating in the Mediterranean. He taught that kinship of all animals is a base of goodwill towards each other (“Vegetarianism”). Vegetarianism has been

Emerson says that being misunderstood is not bad, “Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates and Jesus and Luther and Copernicus and Galileo and Newton”, furthermore, “To be great is to be misunderstood” (Emerson B; 274). If a person is objective, they will be able to critique societal norms and not simply

Philosophers and physicians began to think more rationally than the Egyptians concerning medicine. Prior to medicine being a definable subject, Pythagoras, who was a famous mathematician, introduced numbers to the sciences. Alcmaeon, believed to be his student, explored the possibilities of internal causes of illness. He believed that environmental problems, nutrition, and lifestyle may contribute

This quote claims that the viewpoint of a learner is not only present but necessary in the methodology of the pursuit of knowledge in all scenarios. While I disagree with the absolute, I do agree with the statement in select contexts. However, in objective human sciences, the subjectivity of a knower’s perspective and bias are not only nonessential, but may be dangerous to the initiation, methodology, and resulting outcomes of inquiry. Meanwhile, in the study of ethics, perspective is theorized

Koch Snowflake Investigation Angus Dally Background: In 1904, Helge von Koch identified a fractal that appeared to model the snowflake. The fractal was built by starting with an equilateral triangle and removing the inner third of each side, building another equilateral triangle where the side was removed, and then repeating the process indefinitely. The process is pictured below, showing the original triangle at stage zero, and the resulting figures after one, two and three iterations.

to eat less is to take vacations from eating. This is known as fasting. So instead of trying to eat less everyday, every once in a while go a couple of days without eating. Some of the people that have fasted include Jesus, Moses, Mahatma Gandhi, Pythagoras, Buddha and Abraham Lincoln. President Lincoln even created some national days of fasting. 2.

Philip K. Dick’s exegesis, above being a theological exploration, is a philosophical and cosmological investigation into the world and being. Philip K. Dick attempts to understand his own being and his surrounding world by alluding to the existing knowledge of the past while arriving at something new on his own. My Focus on this paper is on an excerpt of his work from pages 606 to 608 that mainly focuses on three themes. These themes that reappear throughout his work include the concept of time and

and mercenaries, but on the other hand, it was expected that a wise man made a long voyage to gain knowledge, and this story may have been invented to prove that the sage of Miletus was a wise man indeed. (Similar stories are told about Solon and Pythagoras.) It is not even certain whether Thales is the author of published texts. The three titles that are attributed to him may be later inventions, or three names of one and the same poem: Nautical astronomy, on the solstice, and on the equinox. What

certain notes? How are sound waves calculated? With these two questions in mind, I dove in with the desire to apply a different perspective of music. Diagram 1 One of the earliest discoveries of how string function comes from the Greek philosopher, Pythagoras. The wavelength and pinches between strings are what differentiate the varying notes. As shown in Diagram 1, the wavelengths have specific spacing in between, which are directly related to mathematics. Nodes, or pinches, are strategically and mathematically

Leonardo Da Vinci, Sir Issac Newton, St. Francis of Assisi and Albert Einstein who said: "It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind." Pythagoras, who is generally given credit for its inception, praised vegetarianism for its hygienic nature and the kinship it fostered between man and the animals. In the past most Doctors, nutritionists and those responsibly for health education, have in
