Topic: Epinomis


  
  Epinomis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Epinomis is a dialogue in the style of Plato, but today considered spurious by most scholars.
It is called Epinomis (= after laws) because it was first circulated in a volume following the Laws.
The persons involved in the dialogue are an Athenian stranger, Cleinias of Crete, and Megillus of Lacedaemon.

 Mind Over Mathematics: Higher Arithmetic -- Metaphysics
Plato's dialogue of the Laws, continues in the short appendix known as the Epinomis: "Let us then first consider what single science there is, of all those we have, such that were it removed from mankind, or had it never made its appearance, man would become the most thoughtless and foolish of creatures.
The true sense of the square root of -1 stands before my mind (Seele) fully alive, but it becomes very difficult to put it in words; I am always only able to give a vague image that floats in the air." In upcoming weeks, we will re-construct some of Gauss' metaphors.
As such a man reflects, he will receive the revelation of a single bond of natural interconnection between all these problems.

 Oxford Scholarship Online: The Heirs of Plato
Philippus is best known for editing Plato's Laws for publication, and he was the real author of the Epinomis: as a philosopher, he is distinguished for elevating the rational World-Soul to the status of the supreme principle, and for identifying astronomy as the true path to the knowledge of God.
Hermodorus composed a book on Plato's life and works; philosophically he is interesting for his interpretation of Plato's first principles, and in particular, his denial that matter, or the Unlimited, is a principle.
Cantor's major contribution to the development of Platonism is the idea of the commentary; Proclus identifies him as the first commentator, because he wrote an exposition, as distinct from an exegesis, of Plato's Timaeus.

 From Plato to the Neoplatonists
The unknown author of the Epinomis, a Platonic treatise, says that only knowledge of numbers can prove immortality, and that the soul must be understood before the Spirit can be comprehended.
Iamblichus said the same thing five hundred years later, adding, however, that the mystery of immortality is a secret belonging to the highest initiation.
This, again, is merely a repetition of the ancient Hermetic doctrine that every atom in the universe, being impregnated with the divine influx of the World-Soul, is a living entity which feels, suffers and enjoys life in its own way.

 Epinomis and Complex Domain
Plato’s dialogue of the Laws, continues in the short appendix known as the Epinomis,*
As the Epinomis indicates, nothing can be discovered about the astrophysical by simple observations, like the methods of Hesiod.
Instead, one must look to the type of change (relations), of which those observations are merely a reflection.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2006.02.13   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
While it is no longer widely believed that works such as this and the Alcibiades I or Epinomis are by Plato himself, the study of them is still felt to belong firmly with that of the genuine Platonic corpus.
None stands in particularly close relation to the fragmentary remains of the scholarchs of the Academy after Plato, and indeed, as D notes (80-81), no special connection is apparent between the Socratic daimôn in the Theages and the demonology of Xenocrates, the best known of Plato's early successors.
Still, the strong, and widely accepted, ancient tradition that the Epinomis was written by Philip of Opus as well as Proclus' evidence that Crantor was the first Platonic exêgêtês (at least of the Timaeus) should alert us to the fact that scholarchs were not necessarily the Academics whom we should link with the Platonic writings.

 What is Wisdom? by Roberto Diego
That would make wisdom a collective accomplishment, and we know how fickle and sometimes ignorant the collective can be.
Surprisingly, Plato in his Epinomis, considered that wisdom was our ability to measure the heavens.
In this view, the heavens were “God” and their gift to man was that he had to learn to measure the movements of the planets and stars and thereby attain numbers.

 John Selden (1584-1654)
Cotton also trained him to become an antiquary.
Selden's England's Epinomis and Jani Anglorum (1610) secured his place as the father of legal antiquarianism.
Selden was called to the bar in 1612, and soon became keeper of the records at Inner Temple.

 Plato [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
To the ten Diogenes Laertius lists, we may uncontroversially add On Justice, On Virtue, and the Definitions, which was included in the medieval manuscripts of Plato's work, but not mentioned in antiquity.
If any are of these are authentic, the Epinomis would be in the late group, and the others would go with the early or early transitional groups.
The Oxford Classical Texts are the standard Greek texts of Plato's works, including all of the spuria and dubia except for the epigrams, the Greek texts of which may be found in Hermann Beckby (ed.), Anthologia Graeca (Munich: Heimeran, 1957).

Besides these, eight other writings bear his name ; but these were marked as spurious even in ancient times.
Besides the Letters and the Epinomis (an appendix to the Laws composed by Plato's pupil, Phi-lippus of Opus), the writings of the fourth tetralogy as well as the Theages, the Minos, and the Clltopho, are reckoned as undoubt­edly spurious.
Of questionable genuineness also is a series of epigrams which has been handed down under Plato's name.

Plato's Academy, in which Aristotle studied for over twenty years, reportedly proclaimed the following over its entrance: "Let no one untrained in Geometry enter here."
But one also should note that Plato started a work Epinomis, posthumously finished by Philippus of Mende, which laid out the appropriate mathematical curriculum for an ideal head of state.
This point is further supported by the following passage from Plutarch's life of Alexander The Great (1st Century AD) that goes on to quote from a letter actually authored by Alexander:
