different geometrical, some algebraic, some involving advanced differential equations, etc. proofs now exist, some geometrical, some algebraic, some involving advanced differential equations. Pythagoreans were interested in philosophy, but especially in music and mathematics, two ways of making order out of chaos.…

instead, he went on and studied many fields of science and mathematics, making discoveries in both subjects. Newton is well known for his contribution in the discovery of calculus (uiowa.com) and for determining that white light is composed of all the colors of the spectrum (thefamouspeople.com) , but he became a worldwide phenomenon after publishing Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), also known as Principia, which includes his famous…

stimulating the pursuit of knowledge to be neutral, defined as not being biased in any way and unaffected by personal experience and knowledge, in order for one to arrive at an absolute, objective truth or certain knowledge. However, according to Kantian philosophy, concepts, information and knowledge are all interconnected in a complex web of beliefs, therefore, questions must be inextricably linked to the preexisting connections. Since these connections will forever be present, it is difficult…

The Impact of Isaac Newton on Modern Science Historical Context Isaac Newton was born into a place and time that situated him in what was the beginning of the age of enlightenment. The mid to late 1600’s were the beginning of a movement that emphasized individualism and reason rather than tradition. Isaac Newton benefitted greatly by being born in this period in time rather than 50 years earlier where the same opportunities he had would not be available and the amount of information available…

The Hellenistic era was the time that the Greek civilization really reached its highest point. Alexandria, the capital of Egypt was the main area where the culture spread. Alexander the Great ruled over most of the land and he spread the Greek thought and culture just as his tutor, Aristotle, taught him.

amazing scientific and mathematical discoveries. Isaac Newton is known worldwide for many famous discoveries. He was an extremely intelligent man. Some of the most famous of his discoveries included discovering lots of information in optics, motion, mathematics, and a ton of laws and rules for physics that we use almost everyday today. Isaac Newton lived a very intelligent and successful life. He never had any children and never was married either. He spent most of his time in science. As he…

huge impact on my future goals; besides getting to explore a wide range of philosophies and personalities, writers such as Plato and Nietzsche influenced my perception of various aspects of my life and the world as a whole. Specifically, On the Genealogy of Morals, by Nietzsche, provoked my curious mind and ever-growing cravings for each and every element of knowledge. It grabbed my attention to how biology and philosophy could be braided into one; I loved how it united two perceived to be…

things with more than one approach, like using two different lenses to see the world, red and blue for example. Through those lenses you can see the world “protruding”. Most people will find it odd how one can be an expert in conflicting topics. Philosophy is infamously known to be often frowned-upon by scientists. Feynman is the living proof that two of the most unlikely subjects can be the best complement to each other. While a philosopher’s understanding of a physicist’s perspective towards…
