	peripatetic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-10)
		Their teachings derived from their founder, the Greek philosopher Aristotle and peripatetic (περιπατητικός) is a name given to his followers.As an adjective, often used to mean itinerant, wandering, meandering, or walking about.
		Aristotle founded the Peripatetic school in 335 BCE when he first opened his philosophical school at the Lyceum.
		According to some writers, the Peripatetics were not in fact the direct followers of Plato or Aristotle, but rather a set of admirers or "groupies", perpetually following the philosophers and their students in their daily walk.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: History of Physics
		This last hypothesis was to be maintained by Andrea Cesalpino (1519-1603) in his "Quæstiones peripateticæ" (1569), and to inspire Galileo, who, unfortunately, was to seek in the phenomena of the tides his favourite proof of the Earth's rotation.
		In Peripatetic physics the possibility of an empty space was a logical contradiction; but, after the condemnation pronounced at Paris in 1277 by Tempier, the existence of a vacuum ceased to be considered absurd.
		To find the origin of this axiom it would be necessary to go back to "De Subtilitate" by Cardano, who had probably drawn it from the notes of Vinci; the proposition on which Torricelli had based his statics was a corollary from this postulate.

	The Peripatetic Novel / An Essay by J. Mark Bertrand
		Quite literally, it means “to walk.” Although the peripatetic school of philosophy was founded by Aristotle, who is said to have wandered back and forth while giving his lectures, I have always associated the term with Socrates, a thinker from the streets.
		This is the axiom of the peripatetic school of philosophy.
		It is a remarkable feat of peripatetic writing, a better illumination of this line of thought than anything I could offer (which is why I mention it now, at the end of my piece, and not at the beginning, which would have made my musings irrelevant).

	Peripatetic Summary
		The people whom anthropologists commonly call peripatetics (from the Greek peripatetikos, meaning to walk up and down, discoursing while walking) are known in South and West Asia by a variety of terms, among them Gypsies, Lambadis, and Banjaras.
		Nonetheless some peripatetics have herds, usually of camels, goats, or pigs, which have their own niche in the landscape.
		The subculture of peripatetics has its economic specializations, but in other respects it is consonant with that of other castes in the area where the group resides.

		I often talked with these two of such matters in the presence of a certain Peripatetic philosopher whose greatest obstacle in apprehending the truth seemed to be the reputation he had acquired by his interpretations of Aristotle.
		They say that they hold the heavens to be inalterable because not one star there has ever been seen to be generated or corrupted, such being probably a lesser part of heaven than a city is of the earth; yet innumerable of the latter have been destroyed so that not a trace of them remains.
		Turning to a gentleman whom he knew to be a Peripatetic philosopher, and on whose account he had been exhibiting and demonstrating everything with unusual care, he asked this man whether he was at last satisfied and convinced that the nerves originated in the brain and not in the heart.

	Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems
		But aside from all this, consider those previous disputes between the astronomers and the Peripatetic philosophers about the reasoning as to the distance of the new stars in Cassiopeia and Sagittarius, the astronomers placing these among the fixed stars and the philosophers believing them to be closer than the moon.
		I have known some very great Peripatetic philosophers, and heard them advise their pupils against the study of mathematics as something which makes the intellect sophistical and inept for true philosophizing; a doctrine diametrically opposed to that of Plato, who would admit no one into philosophy who had not first mastered geometry.
		I endorse the policy of these Peripatetics of yours in dissuading their disciples from the study of geometry, since there is no art better suited for the disclosure of their fallacies.

	Jacques Maritain Center: Juan Jose Sanguineti
		Nevertheless the point is important because the relationship between hypotheses and axioms is in good measure parallel to the relationship between proper principles and common principles, or between particular sciences and metaphysics.
		This is not completely explicit in Aristotle, but it corresponds in my view to the spirit of his epistemology and to the very few indications he gave in his works.
		The distinction between hypotheses and axioms might suggest that sciences for Aristotle are weaker than metaphysics, in contrast with the current view according to which philosophy is weaker than the sciences.

	Empiricism - MalibuMountainWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-10)
		The term semi-empirical is sometimes used to describe theoretical methods which make use of basic axioms, established scientific laws, and previous experimental results in order to engage in reasoned model building and theoretical inquiry.
		Francis Bacon, though not the first to advocate induction based upon evidence observable by the senses, is considered as one of the founders of (modern) science.
		Among the medieval Scholastics, Thomas Aquinas derived from Aristotle (De Anima, 3.8) the famous peripatetic axiom: "Nothing is in the intellect which was not first in the senses" (Leftow, vii).

		Perhaps the physical exercise may have acted as a gentle stimulant of the brain, but more probably the comfortable consciousness that I could not reasonably be expected to be doing anything else—to be studying or improving my mind, for instance—always gave a joyous liberty to my fancy.
		I once thought it necessary to employ this interval in doing sums in arithmetic,—in which useful study I was and still am lamentably deficient,—but after one or two attempts at peripatetic computation, I gave it up.
		I offer this axiom as some apology for obtruding upon the reader a few of the speculations which have engaged my mind during these daily perambulations.

		It's an axiom of fiction as well as real life that a phone that rings in the middle of the night rarely portends good tidings.
		For Andy Gulliver, the protagonist of Evan Hunter's gripping new novel, it usually means that his peripatetic twin sister, Annie, is gone again, along with her tenuous hold on reality.
		Annie has been disappearing with no warning and reappearing just as unexpectedly ever since her adolescence, when she ran off to Sweden to find her first love, a boy she met on an earlier trip abroad with her family.

	The Descent from Man: The Primordial Humam Kingdom and the Aristotelian Prime Matter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-10)
		Although it may be debated whether Aristotle himself promoted the idea, certain Peripatetic perspectives postulated the existence of a "prime matter." It was argued that this matter possesses no structure of its own, that it underlies all species changes, and that all things come into existence from it.
		His assertion that the seeds, defined here as appearances of genetic potentials and expressions of the Will of God or His Names and Attributes), develop into trees (the evolutionary reflections of those Names and Attributes in the various genomes) is not a measurable hypothesis.
		It is, rather, an axiom or a verity (a truth statement), not a proposition (a true false statement, i.e., one which can be negated).

		Galen's father, Nicon, mathematician, architect, astronomer, philosopher, and devotee of Greek literature, was not only his sole instructor up to the age of 14, but the example of Stoic virtues on which Galen consciously modeled his own life.
		His systematic anatomical experiments provided a means of demonstrating to the senses those things which no sane man could deny any more than he could deny the self-evident axioms of mathematics.
		However, among his self-evident axioms we find "Nature [and/or the Creator] does nothing in vain." His frequent appeal to this axiom for explanatory purposes is in part responsible for the overemphasis on the teleological aspects of his writings by both his followers and his critics.

		Overall, however, chapters 1-4 together offer an excellent exposition of key dimensions of the Stoics' appropriation and interpretation of their intellectual tradition.

		Long himself follows this standard usage elsewhere in the book: "It is a basic axiom of Stoic metaphysics that bodies cannot affect non-bodies, or non-bodies bodies" (284).

		However, the will controls the exercise of the faculties, and thus determines and shapes what they perceive and how they perceive it.
		Empiricism: Held to the Peripatetic axiom: "Nothing is in the intellect that was not first in the senses," modified by saying that the intellect can ascend to the knowledge of higher things from the basis of perception, even God, and that the soul knows of its existence by its action.
		First principles: the basis for human knowledge is latent in the soul, not in the form of objective knowledge, but in the form of subjective inclination to believe them due to the evidentiary support: As soon as they are proposed they are known to be true.

		Academics outside of the humanities can find the reasoning generated by humanities scholars rather frustrating.
		Generalities are never as fully binding, authoritative and 'true' as an axiom or formula in physics, say; the general is continually inflected or modified by a new, specific piece of information.
		At its worst, this can lead to a deconstructive frenzy as any embracing generality is immediately held up to review and modification.

		Since then, Crowther, who now calls Hillsborough home, has traveled to every continent but Australia and Antarctica, chronicling world events as a journalist and as a columnist, insights delivered with an incisive punch few writers rival.
		That peripatetic essence, perhaps a relic of his father's employment, is a spirit central to Crowther's best work: He writes from a world-savvy pen and with the steady axiom that Place X--be it New York, North Carolina or England--isn't the world.
		In part, those same qualities prompted his work's popularity--particularly his writing in TheSpectator in Raleigh, for which he served as executive editor from 1984 until 1989, the Independent and The Oxford American.
