from ΠΕΡΙ ΖΩΗΣ · host Stelios Gortynos
If you observe the basting sun and watch The stars processing through the skies, the day That follows will not prove you wrong; nor will Deceptive cloudfree nights then take you in. Virgil, Georgics, I:424-6.

On the Parts of Animals
Aristotle
Explore the captivating world of Aristotles On the Parts of Animals (Greek ΠΕΡΙ ΖΩΩΝ ΜΟΡΙΩΝ; Latin De Partibus Animalium), a groundbreaking text that lays the foundation for biological inquiry. In the first book, Aristotle boldly examines whether animals were the result of chance or deliberate design. The following three books provide an in-depth look at various creatures, revealing the complex functions of their organs. This translation by William Ogle, a distinguished medical doctor and classicist, was famously gifted to Charles Darwin, underscoring its enduring influence on the understanding of life. Join us as we delve into this timeless work that continues to inspire and challenge our perceptions of the animal kingdom. (Adapted from Wikipedia by Geoffrey Edwards)
Proclus on Platos Theology An Insightful Exploration
Proclus, Thomas Taylor
Join us as we delve into the profound thoughts of Proclus, the renowned Platonic philosopher, through his influential work, The Six Books of Proclus on the Theology of Plato (Greek ΠΕΡΙ ΤΗΣ ΚΑΤΑ ΠΛΑΤΩΝΑ ΘΕΟΛΟΓΙΑΣ; Latin Theologia Platonica). This translation by Thomas Taylor not only includes a valuable seventh book that fills the gaps left by Proclus but also offers insights that resonate deeply with contemporary philosophical discourse. The 1995 Prometheus Trust edition presents an engaging structure, where Book 3, Chapter 1 unveils the initial four chapters of Greek text, seamlessly transitioning through Chapters 5-6 and 7-8. From Chapter 9 onward, the translation aligns beautifully with the original. Moreover, a poignant quote from Proclus adorns the cover of Harmonices Mundi Liber I, a work that coincides with a tumultuous time in Johannes Keplers life as he navigated accusations against his mother. Discover this rich philosophical tapestry through the lens of Geoffrey Edwards.
Six Books of Proclus, the Platonic Successor, on the Theology of Plato
Proclus, Thomas Taylor
The Six books of Proclus, the Platonic successor, on The Theology of Plato (Greek: ΠΕΡΙ ΤΗΣ ΚΑΤΑ ΠΛΑΤΩΝΑ ΘΕΟΛΟΓΙΑΣ; Latin: Theologia Platonica; Alternate English Title: Platonic Theology) to which a Seventh book is added by the translator, Thomas Taylor, in order to supply the deficiency of another book on this subject, which was written by Proclus, but since lost. According to the 1995 Prometheus Trust edition Book 3 Chapter 1 of this translation contains Chapters 1-4 from the original Greek, Chapter 2 contains the Greek chapters 5-6 and Chapter 3 contains the Greek Chapters 7-8. Thereafter, the translated and Greek chapters match beginning at Chapter 9. A quotation from Proclus is included on the cover of Harmonices Mundi Liber I despite the fact that Johannes Kepler's mother had been recently accused of witchcraft and threatened with torture. - Summary by Geoffrey Edwards
