Learn more about Alchemy in the online encyclopedia. Ionian thought was based on the belief that the universe could be explained through concentration on natural phenomena; this philosophy is believed to have originated with Thales and his pupil Anaximander, and later developed by Plato and Aristotle, whose works came to be an integral part of alchemy. Robert Grosseteste (1170-1253) was a pioneer of the scientific theory that would later be used and refined by the alchemists. Magnus and Aquinas were among the first to take up the examination of alchemical theory, and could be considered to be alchemists themselves, except that these two did little in the way of experimentation. www.onlineencyclopedia.org /a/al/alchemy_1.html   (3381 words)

Hellenistic Astrology [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Stoic theory of fate involves the law of cause and effect, but unlike Epicurean atomism, it is not a purely mechanistic determinism because at the helm is divine reason. The astrological theory he is arguing against is supported by Stoic fate and necessity, which assumes a chain of physical efficient causes. Stoic physical theory holds that all things in the universe are connected and held together in their interactions through tension. www.iep.utm.edu /a/astr-hel.htm   (19004 words)

Proto-Ionian theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Proto-Ionian Theory is a linguistical theory (with repercussions on archaeology), aimed at replacing the Risch-Chadwick Theory proposed in the 1950s by the Swiss linguist Ernst Risch and mainly defended by John Chadwick, a scholar who participated in the decipherment of the Linear B script. The Proto-Ionian Theory comes back to the old Paul Kretschmer's Theory of the three Greek waves, supposing a split of the Greek dialects as early as 3000 BC into three groups : Proto-Ionic-Attic ; Proto-Achean ; Proto-Doric. The Risch-Chadwick Theory supposes that at the Middle Bronze Age Period, the Greek dialects split into two main groups : the Western (or Northern) Group (or Proto-Doric) and the Eastern (or Southern) Group (all the other dialects). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Proto-Ionian_theory   (220 words)

Proto-Ionian Theory This, in a nutshell, is the Proto-Ionian Theory. However, knowledge of Homeric Greek helped Mr Jean Faucounau in discovering that this mysterious pre-Greek is not some elusive Pelasgian, but what he called proto-Ionian, a precursor of Attic and Ionic dialects. If Mr Faucunau proves to be a new Champollion even without a putative discovery of a new proto-Ionian Rosetta stone, then the entire history of the Bronze Age in the Mediterranean needs to be reconsidered and re-written. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/proto_ionian_theory   (287 words)

ALPHABET (see also WRITING) - Online Information article about ALPHABET (see also WRITING) As the Ionians kept the form which the people of Thera used for in the same position in their alphabet as Samech occupied in the Phoenician alphabet, there can be no doubt as to its origin.

The Paradox of the Alphabetic Literacy Narrative If Schmandt-Besserat is correct, her theory helps to explain why the first tablets contain a surprisingly large percentage of symbols, why these symbols are abstract, and why they apparently were standardized at a very early date. Logan follows the underlying assumption of the pictographic theory in arguing that "the absence of Western-style abstractions and classification schemes in Chinese culture is related to the differences in writing systems" (47). Even though twentieth-century archaeologists have amassed a great deal of evidence to the contrary, the pictograph theory is still often repeated in popular accounts of the origins of writing (e.g., Claiborne, Gelb). www.cwrl.utexas.edu /~faigley/work/material_literacy/paradox.html   (1545 words)

Early Interest in Know.8.96 Taking as a test case for the theory the letters and syllables of the alphabet, he claims that it would be absurd for someone to be said to know the first syllable of his name, ‘SO’ while being entirely ignorant of the letters ‘S’ and ‘O’. In that paper I argued that Socrates’ dream theory posed difficulties for a view of knowledge Plato had presented--evidently as problem free--in a number of earlier dialogues. In the discussion which follows the statement of this theory, Socrates attacks the asymmetry thesis by arguing that if elements are unknown, then so also must be the complexes composed of them. faculty.washington.edu /smcohen/320/Lesher.html   (5559 words)

GNTO-Greek Islands-Kefalonia-Historic Facts At that time, the Ionian Commissioner was Charles Napier, a democrat who supervised significant constructions in Kefalonia, one of them being the building "Markato" at Lixouri, which initially housed the island's Court. According to this treaty, the Ionian Islands were to be under the command of the English Lord Commissioner. The crisis of the English policy regarding Greece and the people's insurrections forced England to secede from the dominion of the Ionian Islands and on 23 September 1863, the Parliament voted in favor of their union with the rest of Greece. www.hri.org /infoxenios/english/ionian/kefalonia/history.html   (2535 words)

A UMass Amherst Libraries Publication During the Archaic and Protoclassical periods the Ionian philosophers consistently pondered the nature of the elements on the basis of the polarity principle. Moreover, this theory was expressly a concern of the intelligentsia, which at the time of Empedokles was beginning to turn away from the physical science of the Ionians to explore other aspects of philosophy: thus there would have been no urgency about such a tangential aspect of Empedokles' thought. Yet what the Ionian philosophers as a whole achieved was the detachment of the concept of certain individual underlying elements from the total scheme so that these could be individually scrutinized and evaluated as to their qualities. www.library.umass.edu /benson/jbgctext.html   (15274 words)

Phaistos disk If the Proto-Ionian theory be correct, then the language spoken by Paris would not be more disimilar from that spoken by Helen than the language of Sappho differs from Herodotus, Aeolic and Ionic, both also derivatives of a Proto-Ionian parent. He wrote on several occassions of a close rapport between Carians and Ionians, but clearly the bilingual indicates that Carian is not a dialect of Greek, but a separate linguistic entity. Faucounau that the language of the disk is proto- Ionic, being primarily an Anatolian coastal and island language, fits the picture very well which I have been describing. www-personal.umich.edu /~artsfx/notes3.html   (1281 words)

Lefkada and Östergötland Basic Info The General Administrator of Ionian Islands, Dophin, in the early 18th century, praised the bravery of the locals, calling them "restless and impulsive spirits", while the French Ambassador, Andre Grassel, describes the locals of the 18th century as "quiet" and "easy to convince". In 1857, he became a congressman of the Radicals in the Ionian Congress while later, after the union of the Ionian Islands with the rest of Greece, he became a representative in the Athenian Parliament. The German historian Dorpfeld supports this theory and situates the palace of Ulysses on the eastern part of the island, in the current position of Nidri. www.lefkada.freewebspace.com /c.htm   (2955 words)

Phoenician Desception This theory proves, without a doubt, that the alphabet was created by the Greeks so that the 24 or 27 code letters would aid in attributing the meanings of the Greek words (and only of these). The theory that the alphabet is a Phoenician discovery has been maintained through the argument, among other things, that certain symbols of Phoenician writing are similar to the letters of the alphabet. The theory of the Phoenician alphabet was always, and is still, based on an exception to this general rule. www.grecoreport.com /phoenician.htm   (2322 words)

Peoples and languages Other scholars have used the theory of linguistic 'transfer' or 'interference' to explain the presence of Dravidian elements in the languages of present-day Pakistan which are generally said to be the daughters of Sanskrit, an Indo-Aryan language. As the Ionian Greeks -- the Greeks settled in Ionia which is present-day Turkey -- were the first to be encountered by the Persians, they called them, and by extension all Greeks, Ionian or Yunani. The evidence for the presence of this substratum, according to Bertil Tikkanen, is the presence of retroflex consonants which do not exist in Iranian or European members of the Indo-European family of languages. asnic.utexas.edu /asnic/subject/peoplesandlanguages.html   (6627 words)

chapter4 The theoreticians-conservationists (whose theory was not institutionalized because it was not applicable in the interests of the upper class) have the same concern as the upper-class practitioners – how to improve the Way (Flow) to maximize the animating power of life and death. Moreover, the Ionian confederation was dissolved and the new, Pan-Dorian-Ionian confederation was very weak because the agrarian and industrial interests were too polar that they could be solved peacefully. Therefore, the logical consequence of the Plato’s Theory of Ideas is fatalism, and the logical consequence of the Knowledgeable One’s Theory of Life is hope. victorian.fortunecity.com /milton/864/chapter4.htm   (21849 words)

mto.96.2.6.bent.tlk The list discussion has referred to the need to set priorities in cases of conflicting principles (Judd, 23 July: "the challenge to Bent's solution of the passage in question comes not from modal theory, but in relation to how one interprets horizontal and vertical priorities in determining ficta." Just so.). It is in respecting and reconciling melodic principles and the rules of counterpoint that ficta is necessitated; I have tried to show that ficta needs to be viewed in the context of counterpoint as a whole, and not informed just by precepts specifically labelled as ficta.

WHITHER URALISTICS there is no theory which demands that the genetic relationships of languages must be depicted by little black lines on a piece of paper. This shift of paradigm had great consequences for biology (Darwin), social theory (Marx) and, of course, historical linguistics.

Music Glossary The level at which each concept is most often introduced is indicated by the numbers 0-4 in brackets, where 0 is pre-college level, 1-4 are various levels of undergraduate theory, and 5 is graduate level. The study of harmony makes up a large part of theory courses due to its importance and complexity in our traditional music. These functions are believed to spring from the idea of a harmonic axis consisting of I and V. The other sonorities, or chords are considered to be substitutes for I or V, or for the IV, called the dominant preparation. www.angelfire.com /mi/jazzmann/glossary.html   (12862 words)

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 94.01.02 Furthermore, there ought to be some explanation why Homer, coming from the Ionian region much further south, should have chosen Troy as the very centre-piece of his epic, situated not only in an Aeolic district but indeed at the very outer edge of the Greek presence in Asia Minor in the eighth century. Accordingly, "the first Aeolian and Ionian colonies in Western Asia Minor, above all Smyrna and Miletus were founded in the 11th century" (79). This finds further confirmation in the colonization of Asia Minor by the Aeolians and the Ionians. ccat.sas.upenn.edu /bmcr/1994/94.01.02.html   (3332 words)

lpsc95wa.txt A quantitative theory has been proposed recently which suggests that Pluto's unusual orbital properties may be a natural consequence of the late stages of the formation and dynamical evolution of the outer planetary system. Several theories have been proposed for the origin of interstellar nano-diamonds, including chemical vapor deposition (CVD) from stellar outflows, impact shock metamorphism driven by supernovae, and UV annealing of carbonaceous grains. Common to all these theories is the problem regarding the incoporation of Xe-HL into the nano-diamonds. www.lpi.usra.edu /meetings/programs/lpsc95wa.txt   (13008 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Metaphysics Its most salient point was the theory that evil is not a creation of God but the work of the devil. For, although he rejected that theory, he did so after a study of it which enabled him to view the problem of change in the light of metaphysical principles. Materialism is, in fact, a metaphysical theory of reality and is a contribution to the science which it professes to reject. www.newadvent.org /cathen/10226a.htm   (8561 words)

Encyclopedia: Albanian language Some of these words have cognates (of non-Latin origin) in Romanian and there is a theory that the language spoken by the Dacians before the Romanization was a language related to proto-Albanian. Albanian split from the Proto-Indo-European language about 4000 years ago and most of the basic words are derived directly from it. The Illyrian languages are a group of Indo-European languages that were spoken in the western part of the Balkans in pre-Roman times. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Albanian-language   (2875 words)

History of Iran: India's Parthian Colony This theory was first accepted by scholars, but discarded by later writers as resting wholly on doubtful philological resemblance of the words Pahlava and Pallava. The Parthian theory of the origin of Pallavas has thus helped a large number of people to be rehabilitated in Dravidian society. , after examining the arguments for the `indigenous theory', were inclined to advocate the `foreign origin' first propounded by Venkayya. www.iranchamber.com /history/articles/india_parthian_colony2.php   (4447 words)

Myths and Facts about Roma All the structure on which this theory is based falls down by the impossibility of explaining the cultural and spiritual features inherent to Rom and Sinti people, and substantially, this assertion that "might be that they adopted the Dhom designation for themselves" reveals itself to be completely fallacious. A recent theory that is having some success among the intellectual environment interested in the subject - and that is destined to be proven fallacious like all the preceding hypotheses - pretends to have discovered the original "city" from where Roma might have come: Kannauj, in Uttar Pradesh, India. This conclusion could only be shown to be wrong if it could be shown that the Vedic Indians, having migrated all the way to the Punjab from their earlier home, had then retraced their steps and undertaken yet another migration in the direction of the Near East. www.imninalu.net /Roma.htm   (11491 words)

Ethnic Identity Ionians from Phocaea on the coast of modern Turkey were active in trade as far away as Tartessus in Iberia; they established a colony at Alalia on Corsica from which they were expelled for outrageously bad behavior in the later sixth century BCE. It is a rare work indeed that even mentions that they were Indo-Europeans; art-historical studies may differentiate between Ionian, Doric and Attic styles without questioning their Greekness or indeed addressing any ethnic dimension. In the development of his Kulturkreis theory, Kossinna systematized the traditional view of ethnic identity as anchored to a specific place. www3.iath.virginia.edu /Barbarians/Essays/model.html   (8167 words)

Phrynichus, Pericles and Praise They were so discouraged, because in this their first undertaking in the Ionian war they had failed, that they from this time on ceased planning to send out the ships that were in home waters, but on the contrary even thought of recalling some that had previously gone out to sea. He was essentially the original proponent of the domino theory, with his belief that with each small capitulation a larger one will follow (1.140.5). This has some merit, but the Sicilian defeat and the sea battles in Ionia were fought primarily with Syracusan and Ionian ships, not Peloponnesian. mywebpages.comcast.net /pythian/writings/phrynichus.html   (3125 words)

EUROPEAN RACES IN HISTORY - Part 2, Chapter 13 This theory corresponds exactly with the known historic fact that the Aryan languages, during the last three or four thousand years at least, have, again and again, been imposed by Nordics upon populations of Alpine and Mediterranean blood. Within the present distributional area of the Nordic race, and in the very middle of a typical area of isolation, is the most generalized member of the Aryan group, namely, Lettish, or old Lithuanian, situated on the Gulf of Riga, and almost Proto-Aryan in character. A study of the various languages of the Aryan group reveals an extreme diversity which can be best explained by the hypothesis that the existing languages are now spoken by people upon whom Aryan speech has been forced from without. www.churchoftrueisrael.com /pgr/pgr-2.-13.html   (2020 words)

Kaufmann, etc., i.e. These consequences - known as the "Proto-Ionian Theory"- are more important than the decipherment itself.

AncientScripts.com: The Alphabet As for Greek itself, all but one of the variant scripts were replaced by the Ionian, which is what you see on Classic inscriptions, as well as modern texts. This theory is much more widely accepted than the multiple borrowing theory. However, the similarities between the different variants are extremely overwhelming, and imply the presence of a very early Greek script that later developed into the local variants. www.ancientscripts.com /alphabet.html   (1375 words)

A new theory about the Trojan era The theory was, according to Herodotus and Homer, that “barbarian” tribes from the north, known as the Dorians, threatened the ancient Achaean cities even before the great (Trojan) war. "The theory of Dorian invasions is largely an invention of 19th century historiography, and is otherwise unsupported by either archaeological or linguistic evidence.
