Crotone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Crotone is a city in Calabria, southern Italy, on the Gulf of Taranto. Croton was then occupied by the Bruttii, with the exception of the citadel, in which the chief inhabitants had taken refuge; these, being unable to defend the place against a Carthaginian force, soon after surrendered, and were allowed to withdraw to Locri. Crotone's location between the ports of Taranto and Messina, as well as its proximity to a source of hydroelectric power, favored industrial development during the period between the two World Wars. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Croton   (1012 words)

Alcmaeon Alcmaeon, son of Peirithous (otherwise unknown), lived in the Greek city of Croton on the instep of the boot of Italy. Alcmaeon developed the first argument for the immortality of the soul, but the testimonia concerning it differ slightly from one another, and it appears to have been taken over and developed by Plato, so that it is very hard to determine exactly how to reconstruct Alcmaeon's own argument. Alcmaeon's influence was significant in three final ways: 1) His identification of the brain as the seat of human intelligence influenced Philolaus (B13), the Hippocratic Treatise, On the Sacred Disease, and Plato (Timaeus 44d), although a number of thinkers including Empedocles and Aristotle continued to regard the heart as the seat of perception and intelligence. plato.stanford.edu /entries/alcmaeon   (6251 words)

Crotone - QuickSeek Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Sybaris was the rival of Croton until 510 BC, when Croton sent an army of one hundred thousand men, commanded by the athlete Milo, against Sybaris and destroyed it. Worthy of note are: Antonio Sebastiano Minturno (1565), a polished writer and poet; Juan López (1595), a Spanish Dominican; Tommaso dai Monti (1599), a Theatine famous for his zeal; and Niceforo Melisseno Commeno (1628), who had previously rendered signal service to the Holy See in the Orient and in France. On September 30, 1986, the Diocese of Crotone was merged with the Archdiocese of Santa Severina to form the Archdiocese of Crotone-Santa Severina. crotone.quickseek.com   (868 words)

Pythagoreanism Aristotle then contrasts these Pythagoreans with Alcmaeon of Croton, who said that the majority of human things come in pairs, and praises the Pythagoreans for carefully defining the pairs of opposites both in number and character, whereas Alcmaeon seemed to present a randomly selected and ill-defined group of opposites. Alcmaeon was active in Croton when the Pythagoreans flourished there, but Aristotle explicitly distinguishes Alcmaeon from the Pythagoreans and scholarly consensus is that he is not a Pythagorean (see the entry on Alcmaeon). It was undoubtedly because Democedes came from Croton at roughly the time when Pythagoras was prominent there and because of the Pythagorean connections of his father and father-in-law that late sources came to label Democedes himself a Pythagorean. plato.stanford.edu /entries/pythagoreanism   (19509 words)

PSYCHOLOGY IN GREEK PHILOSOPHY Alcmaeon of Croton, a physician who practiced at the end of the sixth and the start of the fifth century B.C., is said to have been the first Greek to dissect the bodies of animals to study their brains, organs, skeletons, and muscles. Following Alcmaeon, he maintained that all disease results from natural causes and should be treated using natural methods. He agreed with Alcmaeon that the brain is the source of our intellectual abilities, and added that it also causes many of our emotional problems, making us happy or unhappy, sorrowful or at peace with ourselves. www.sonoma.edu /users/d/daniels/Greeks.html   (15260 words)

Aristotle - The History of Animals 7-1 And, by the way, the difference of male and female and of their respective organs has been dealt with heretofore. When twice seven years old, in the most of cases, the male begins to engender seed; and at the same time hair appears upon the pubes, in like manner, so Alcmaeon of Croton remarks, as plants first blossom and then seed. About the same time, the voice begins to alter, getting harsher and more uneven, neither shrill as formerly nor deep as afterward, nor yet of any even tone, but like an instrument whose strings are frayed and out of tune; and it is called, by way of by-word, the bleat of the billy-goat. www.book-portal.net /aristotle/history/book7-1.html   (760 words)

Alcmaeon of Croton, a natural philosopher with an interest in medicine, active circa 450 BC, was thought to be one of the first Greeks to have attempted an animal dissection. Through this, he was able to state that the brain was the centre of common sensorium, a theory which Hippocrates of Cos and Plato of Athens adopted from him. imprint.uwaterloo.ca /issues/031299/3Science/science01.shtml   (1189 words)

A Sample Course: My Course Sample Summary: A BRIEF HISTORY OF MIND Fifteen years after President Bush senior inaugurated “The Decade of the Brain,” it is hard to believe that until fairly recently in human history, the idea that the brain is even involved in mental life was a matter of considerable dispute. Indeed, the first thinker on record to suggest a link between mind and brain was the Pythagorean Alcmaeon of Croton, writing in the fifth century BCE. Prior to that, across cultures, it was widely held that the mind, or soul, was located in the heart. demo.courseforum.com /1/638   (316 words)
