Topic: Andr Weil


  
  andr weil - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Andr Weil (May 6, 1906 - August 6, 1998) was one of the great mathematicians of the 20th century, a founding member of the influential Bourbaki group.
After the war, Weil went to the United States where he taught at the University of Chicago before settling at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University.
Andr Weil should not be confused with Andrew Wiles, another famous mathematician who, like Weil, has done important work in elliptic curves; the similarity of their names is a coincidence.

 A Trip to Stonesville: Some Notes on Andrew Weil
According to Weil, many of his basic insights about the causes of disease and the nature of healing come from what he calls "stoned thinking," that is, thoughts experienced while under the influence of psychedelic agents or during other states of "altered consciousness" induced by trances, ritual magic, hypnosis, meditation, and the like.
Weil notes that the wisdom of "stoned thinking" is reflected in the teachings of Oriental philosophies and religions, which have always understood the essentially "ambivalent" nature of reality.
Weil's advice could result in dangerous delays in the diagnosis and the treatment of serious illness, unless he were also to recommend that patients first seek competent medical evaluation and advice before considering unconventional treatments.

Weil fondly recalls several of these teachers, especially one M.\ Collin, who taught him in the first (top) form at the famous Lyc\'ee Saint Louis---and in particular, brought him to understand that, in writing mathematics, one should never say ``it is obvious that''.
In Rome, Weil was warmly received by the mathematician Vito Volterra and went to concerts with Volterra's son Eduardo.
Weil describes his time in Rome in these words: ``I worked in moderation, or rather, I dreamed about mathematics as I strolled about the city.'' He spent much time to acquaint himself with classical and contemporary Italian art; he had prepared himself for this by reading Berenson and Venturi's multivolume history of Italian art.

 Andrew Weil - Alternative medicine - Alternative medicine
Weil is open about his past and present use of illegal substances, claiming "I think I've tried about every drug in his book From Chocolate to Morphine." He is equally open with his views on ending the War On Drugs citing the benefits of many banned plants.
Weil claims that there's an innate need for humans to alter consciousness, and that there is no such thing as good or bad drugs, merely that some individuals have good or bad relationships with certain substances.
Weil has even been honored with having a psychedelic mushroom named in his honor: Psilocybe weilii was discovered and named in 1995.

 Amazon.ca: Spontaneous Healing: Books: Andrew MP Weil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Andrew Weil, who is a graduate of the Harvard Medical School and the author of a number of best-selling books on medicine, consciousness, health and diet, is one of those rare men who have managed to acquire a prestigious conventional education and then build on that with unconventional experiences in other parts of the world.
Weil calls it the phenomenon of "spontaneous healing," and believes that we are all capable of performing this "miracle." Personally, it happened to me (if you'll forgive the Yogi Berra-ism) at my daughter's wedding.
Weil believes that the pessimism of the medical profession has its roots in "the lopsided nature of medical education, which focuses almost exclusively on disease and its treatment rather than on health and its maintenance...the word is used rarely...the term not at all."

 The 2005 TIME 100: Andrew Weil
When he was a senior at Harvard Medical School in 1968, Andrew Weil published a study on marijuana use that concluded, among other things, that first-time users "did not get an impressive pharmacological response." The powers that be were not amused.
Fast-forward 36 years and Weil, now 62, not only has a Harvard M.D. but has become internationally famous, with a newsletter, a website and a string of best-selling self-help books.
Indeed, what distinguishes Weil from other popular healers is his grounding in hard science and his intellectual flexibility.

"Health," Dr. Andrew Weil writes, "is a dynamic and temporary state of equilibrium destined to break down as conditions change." In other words, there's no such thing as the type of health that allows you to feel equally great every day of your life.
Instead, Weil suggests, your goal should be to improve your resilience to disease, and while you're at it, feel more joy and strength.
Weil uses credible science to backup his assertions, never offers fads or extremes, and best of all, he writes in an intelligent, personal voice, using phrases like "I'd like you to.
