Naturalismo Psicodélico: El viaje comienza, como es natural, Con un mapa de estrellas, Que la ciencia comienza a dibujar, Nuestras pequeñas querellas, Nos ayudan a mejorar. Este nuevo conocimiento, Es lo que debemos esperar. Dicen que en este progreso, Las ideas son de los pasillos, Los murmullos acordaron el proceso, Y se logró este castillo. Temprano los científicos, Se pusieron a ayudar, Todos fueron pacíficos, El mundo quisieron enmendar, Pero lo prolífico, Comenzó a enemistar, Y este nuevo conocimiento, Nos puede separar.

The last universal genius. There are minutes spent just lightly covering Leibniz's contributions to science and his place in history, they are so extensive. He is put forward as the father of modern computing and patron saint of cybernetics. What you may not realize is that in philosophy he was also a detective and a spy. Then we cover his biography from the time he is a young man in Paris, the employment at the court in Hanover, and the point in his life where he changed from being an amazing student of the knowledge of his time, into becoming the creator of a philosophy designed to combat Spinoza. Leibniz believed in relative space and time, but he set out to defend absolute morality. Building from the toy ideas Voltaire includes in Candide we go into what the Theodicy really is about.There are great similarities between Leibniz and Spinoza in terms of method and philosophical assumptions, that are quite different from Newton's. We introduce Voltaire's role as a propagandist for Newtonianism (including Locke), but that will be developed more thoroughly next episode.

Fund conversations that matter: donate.accessmore.com Today's conversation on Back Porch Theology is the first episode of our sizzling summer series called If God Is Perfectly Good Then Why Did ______ Happen? We're going to dive deeply into the biblical truism of theodicy – which is the vindication of our Redeemer's absolute goodness and providence in view of the existence of physical and moral evil. The term theodicy was coined by a brainiac German dude named Gottfried Leibniz almost 300 years ago when he combined two Greek words theos – which refers to God – and dee-kay – which is the name of the Greek goddess of justice and therefore represents a sense of moral order. So the etymological scaffolding of theodicy is the framework through which we justify our Heavenly Father's divine mercy in a human milieu that includes horrific immorality and cruelty. And since Alli - my five-foot-twelve spiritual wing-woman – is in the middle of moving to a new house, we've recruited some really spectacular guest hosts to ride shotgun because hers are big shoes to fill! And today's guest host – my friend Chaplain Kyle Herbert – is uniquely equipped to testify how to hang onto hope during an especially long and dark night of the soul because he did 31 years of hard time – 22 of those at Angola, the infamous maximum-security prison in Louisiana. My spiritual brother Kyle's joyful story of restoration - of learning to lean fully into God's absolute goodness despite being incarcerated for over three decades - will leave you gob-smacked by divine grace. If your heart isn't rejoicing by the end of this episode, you need to get an EKG, baby! So please grab a cup of iced coffee and your Bible – unless you're picking a banjo at a summer bluegrass festival, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us!

Alman matematikçi, filozof, hukukçu ve dönemin idarecilerine danışmanlık yapmış bir entelektüeldir. Matematik tarihi ve felsefe tarihinde önemli bir yer tutar. Leibniz, Isaac Newton'dan bağımsız olarak "Sonsuz küçük" teorisini geliştirdi.
In what ways might the roots of the internet actually stretch back much further than we think? Does the internet enhance or distort our humanness? How is our deepening entanglement with algorithms shaping how we think and what we pay attention to? Justin E. H. Smith is a professor at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the Université Paris Cité, and is a writer of both non-fiction, fiction and poetry. His latest book is The Internet is Not What You Think It Is: A History, a Philosophy, a Warning, in which he traces the deep history of the internet and asks where these technologies may be taking us next. His previous books include Irrationality: A History of the Dark Side of Reason and Divine Machines: Leibniz and the Sciences of Life. He posts regularly on Substack at Justin E. H. Smith's Hinternet.

Candide, or The Optimist by Voltaire audiobook. “Candide, or Optimism” (1759) is a picaresque novel by the Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire. Voltaire never openly admitted to having written the controversial Candide; the work is signed with a pseudonym: “Monsieur le docteur Ralph”, literally “Mister Doctor Ralph.”Sardonic in outlook, it follows the naïve protagonist Candide from his first exposure to the precept that “all is for the best in this, the best of all possible worlds,” and on through a series of adventures that dramatically disprove that precept even as the protagonist clings to it.The novel satirizes naïve interpretations of the philosophy of Gottfried Leibniz and is a showcase of the horrors of the 18th century world. In Candide, Leibniz is represented by the philosopher Pangloss, the tutor of the title character. Despite a series of misfortunes and misadventures, which include being present at the Lisbon Earthquake, Pangloss continually asserts that “Tout est pour le mieux dans le meilleur des mondes possibles” (“All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds”). The novel ends with Candide finally rejecting the optimism espoused by Pangloss, saying, “Il faut cultiver notre jardin” (“It is necessary to cultivate our garden”).
Math and music share their mystery and magic. Three notes, played together, make a chord whose properties could not be predicted from those of the separate notes. In the West, music theory and mathematics have common origins and a rich history of shaping and informing one another's field of inquiry. And, curiously, Western composition has evolved over several hundred years in much the same way economies and agents in long-running simulations have: becoming measurably more complex; encoding more and more environmental structure. (But then, sometimes collapses happen, and everything gets simpler.) Music theorists, like the alchemists that came before them, are engaged in a centuries-long project of deciphering the invisible geometry of these relationships. What is the hidden grammar that connects The Beatles to Johann Sebastian Bach — and how similar is it to the hidden order disclosed by complex systems science? In other words, what makes for “good” music, and what does it have to do with the coherence of the natural world?Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I'm your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we'll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.This week on the show, we speak with mathematician and composer Dmitri Tymozcko at Princeton University, whose work provides a new rigor to the study of the Western canon and illuminates “the shape of music” — a hyperspatial object from which all works of baroque, classical, romantic, modern, jazz, and pop are all low-dimensional projections. In the first conversation for this podcast with MIDI keyboard accompaniment, we follow upon Gottfried Leibniz's assertion that music is “the unconscious exercise of our mathematical powers.” We explore how melodies and harmonies move through mathematical space in ways quite like the metamorphoses of living systems as they traverse evolutionary fitness landscapes. We examine the application of information theory to chord categorization and functional harmony. And we ask about the nature of randomness, the roles of parsimony and consilience in both art and life.If you value our research and communication efforts, please subscribe, rate and review us at Apple Podcasts, and consider making a donation — or finding other ways to engage with us — at santafe.edu/engage.

To book Services with Frankie such as Life Coaching, an Intuitive Session, or FNMAT go to her website iamperfectlyfrank.com This episode is an excerpt from the recording session for the audio book version of "The Man, He's Stupid, And The Girl, She's So Bitch: Relationship Wisdom From My Chaldean Mother." Frankie, Cheri and Rachel were reading this excerpt of the book:Frankie: “Move on? But, Frank, what about this man. I like him.” Okay, but maybe he's not worth the time it's taking you to try to screw yourself into some way to be ok with all the shit he does that isn't working for you. Cheri: How about, he may not be worth my time. Frankie: Not worth my time. And you can say to him, “Hey, Man is that really what you want? Is this how you really want to do things? And if that's truly what you want, I'm okay with that, just not with me.” Cheri: Yeah. As women we have these fallacies, these fantasies of, “Oh, he just needs someone in his life to love him enough and then he will change.” Frankie: No. Behavior is behavior. It's not you, it's not your character. It's a behavior. It's like doing math. I do math with my left hand, or I do it with my right hand. It's a behavior. How we do one thing is how we will do everything. If he's not considerate of you when it comes to time, he's not considerate of anyone when it comes to time. It's just how people are. Realizing it has nothing to do with you is so important. Frankie interrupts to change a comment in the book to "If he's not considerate of you when it comes to time, he's not considerate of anyone when it comes to time.""The way we do anything is the way we do everything." "If he's late for you I promise you he's late for everybody."Frankie says she is always on time but she has friends that are not on time and she realizes it has nothing to do with HER, it has to do with them. They are not going to change. Frankie can change knowing they are always late and make their appointment later. Rachel explains she likes being early to sit with herself and think about the next segment of her day ie: "segment intending" because she used to feel like a hamster on a wheel, a long run-on sentence with no periods. Cheri prefers to use that time at home as a ritual to get herself ready. She hates to be late and generally builds in time for the unexpected. Rachel maps out the parking lot where she is going to, she looks up the menu at a restaurant explaining "there are no surprises in my life." Frankie explains she took something from her brother Sam when she was younger but he was pissed because she didn't put it back exactly where she got it from. Sam went on to say if she wants something from him she needs to be early and he'll be on time, she is always early because her brother scared her when she was younger. Frankie says "you must come from the way you operate, some of it is comfort, some of it is completely uncomfortable. SPINOZA'S GOD QUOTE:Did you know that when Einstein gave lectures at the numerous US universities he was invited to, the recurring question that students asked him was:Do you believe in God?And he always answered:I believe in the God of Spinoza.The ones who hadn't read Spinoza didn't understand...I hope this gem of history, serves you as much as it does me:(Baruch de Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher considered one of the three great rationalists of 17th-century philosophy, along with René Descartes in France, and Gottfried Leibniz in Germany.)Here's some of his wisdom:God would have said:Stop praying and punching yourself in the chest!What I want you to do is go out into the world and enjoy your life. I want you to enjoy, sing, have fun and enjoy everything I've made for you.Stop going to those dark, cold temples that you built yourself and say they are my house! My house is in the mountains, in the woods, rivers, lakes, beaches. That's where I live and there I express my love for you.Stop blaming me for your miserable life; I never told you there was anything wrong with you or that you were a sinner, or that your sexuality was a bad thing! Sex is a gift I have given you and with which you can express your love, your ecstasy, your joy. So don't blame me for everything they made you believe.Stop reading alleged sacred scriptures that have nothing to do with me. If you can't read me in a sunrise, in a landscape, in the look of your friends, in your son's eyes... you will find me in no book! Trust me and stop asking me. Would you tell me how to do my job?Stop being so scared of me. I do not judge you or criticize you, nor get angry, or seek to punish you. I am pure love.Stop asking for forgiveness, there's nothing to forgive. If I made you... I filled you with passions, limitations, pleasures, feelings, needs, inconsistencies... free will. How can I blame you if you respond to something I put in you? How can I punish you for being the way you are, if I'm the one who made you? Do you think I could create a place to burn all my children who behave badly for the rest of eternity? What kind of God would do that?Forget any kind of commandments, any kind of laws; those are wiles to manipulate you, to control you, that only create guilt in you.Respect your peers and don't do what you don't want for yourself. All I ask is that you pay attention in your life, that your consciousness is your guide.My beloved, this life is not a test, not a step, not a rehearsal, nor a prelude to paradise. This life is the only thing that exists here and now, and it is all you need.I have set you absolutely free, no prizes or punishments, no sins or virtues... no one carries a marker, no one keeps a record.You are absolutely free to create in your life heaven or hell.I could tell you if there's anything after this life, but I won't... but I can give you a tip. Live as if there is nothing after... as if this is your only chance to enjoy, to love, to exist.So, if there's nothing, then you will have enjoyed the opportunity I gave you. And if there is, rest assured that I won't ask if you behaved right or wrong, I'll ask. Did you like it? Did you have fun? What did you enjoy the most? What did you learn?...Stop believing in me; believing is assuming, guessing, imagining. I don't want you to believe in me... I want you to feel me in you when you kiss your beloved, when you tuck in your little girl, when you caress your dog, when you bathe in the sea.Stop praising me, what kind of egomaniac God do you think I am?I'm bored being praised, I'm tired of being thanked. Feeling grateful? Prove it by taking care of yourself, your health, your relationships, the world. Express your joy!... that's the way to praise me.Stop complicating things and repeating as a parakeet what you've been taught about me.The only thing for sure is that you are here, that you are alive, and that this world is full of wonders.What do you need more miracles for? Why so many explanations?Look for me outside... you won't find me. Find me inside... there I am beating within you.Spinoza.
Las diferentes disciplinas científicas tienen fama de no llevarse bien: los físicos pelean con los químicos, los biólogos con los bioquímicos... y mientras tanto los matemáticos les miran desde lo alto, convencidos de que lo único verdaderamente sólido es lo que ellos hacen. Esta imagen es, desde luego, una caricatura, aunque sí es verdad que puede haber rivalidades, sobre todo dentro de los campus universitarios, y que esas rivalidades ocasionalmente han podido ser más cruentas de lo que deberían. Hoy en Más de Uno enfrentamos a la física, representada por Alberto Aparici, y a las matemáticas, representadas por Santi García Cremades. Los dos científicos del equipo nos hablan de la rivalidad entre sus dos disciplinas, pero también sobre los momentos en que ambas han trabajado juntas y han dado lugar a algo completamente nuevo. Hablamos sobre Arquímedes de Siracusa, que fue matemático y físico antes de que existiera la física tal y como la conocemos; hablamos de la controversia entre Isaac Newton y Gottfried Leibniz sobre quién de los dos inventó el cálculo infinitesimal; y hablamos también sobre cómo la geometría diferencial de Bernhard Riemann le permitió a Albert Einstein formular la teoría de la relatividad general. Después de eso recibimos a nuestros dos invitados de hoy: Pablo Rosillo, estudiante de física, y José Antonio Lorencio, estudiante de matemáticas, y hablamos con ellos sobre estas tiranteces entre sus dos disciplinas, y cómo se ven desde las aulas de la universidad. Con ellos comentamos también cómo surge la vocación por la física y las matemáticas y qué les llevó a emprender ese camino. Además, en su habitual reto matemático, Santi García nos propone una suma infinita: cuando uno suma infinitas cosas ¿da infinito? ¿O puede pasar algo diferente?

Answers I had been seeking from the Lord came down to one thing, and it was a perspective on life that I first heard from a preacher named Ron Dunn. “This world is the best of all possible worlds," originally coined by German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz in his 1710 work “Essays of Theodicy on the Goodness of God, the Freedom of Man and the Origin of Evil.” The claim that the actual world is the best of all possible worlds is the central argument in Leibniz's theodicy, or his attempt to solve the problem of evil. In this podcast Kenny talks about he reality of spiritual TDC and reminds you that God is faithful to hear and answer our prayer, and to restore peace, joy, and hope in our lives.#hope #peace #joyCut & Paste Personal Invitation to invite your friends to check out “gwot.rocks” podcast: I invite you to check out the podcast, “gwot.rocks: God, the World, and Other Things!” It is available on podcast players everywhere!

...no testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous, than the fact which it endeavors to establish. David Hume In this episode, we consider objections and critiques to the ontological argument, as set out by St. Anselm/Plantinga. We specifically look at Gaunilo's response, as well as critiques by Kant and Aquinas. In response to St. Anselm, there have been many interesting points made over the years, and the topic also highlights the rationalist vs. empiricist debate in the renaissance. In the next episode, we will look at Gottfried Leibniz and his contribution to science, philosophy, and mathematics. Always feel free to let us know what you think, or any episode requests. We would love to hear from you! Thank you for listening and we'll see you next time as we search for truth on the road that never ends!

This is just a few tantalizing snippets from part two, wherein we talk about the metaphysical status of evil and about the multi-layered character of will.
Calculus Reordered: A History of the Big Ideas (Princeton UP, 2019) takes readers on a remarkable journey through hundreds of years to tell the story of how calculus evolved into the subject we know today. David Bressoud explains why calculus is credited to seventeenth-century figures Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, and how its current structure is based on developments that arose in the nineteenth century. Bressoud argues that a pedagogy informed by the historical development of calculus represents a sounder way for students to learn this fascinating area of mathematics. Delving into calculus's birth in the Hellenistic Eastern Mediterranean—particularly in Syracuse, Sicily and Alexandria, Egypt—as well as India and the Islamic Middle East, Bressoud considers how calculus developed in response to essential questions emerging from engineering and astronomy. He looks at how Newton and Leibniz built their work on a flurry of activity that occurred throughout Europe, and how Italian philosophers such as Galileo Galilei played a particularly important role. In describing calculus's evolution, Bressoud reveals problems with the standard ordering of its curriculum: limits, differentiation, integration, and series. He contends that the historical order—integration as accumulation, then differentiation as ratios of change, series as sequences of partial sums, and finally limits as they arise from the algebra of inequalities—makes more sense in the classroom environment. Exploring the motivations behind calculus's discovery, Calculus Reordered highlights how this essential tool of mathematics came to be. David M. Bressoud is DeWitt Wallace Professor of Mathematics at Macalester College and Director of the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences. His many books include Second Year Calculus and A Radical Approach to Lebesgue's Theory of Integration. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Our journey through history searching for insights and answers to the problem of evil has brought us to the height of the Enlightenment era where the limits of reason, especially as it relates to the problem of evil and Christian theology, were stretched and challenged.What happens if you were to only use reason and "natural" theology to determine what God is like and how reality is structured? This is was Deism attempted to do. Is there a danger to this hyper-rationalism that would eventually lead to the idea of God becoming obsolete, especially in the face of a confusing, painful universe?What if when it comes to understanding God and figuring out why evil exists at all, we reach a point that is beyond reason? Immanuel Kant thought this was the case and tried to offer a very different, and revolutionary, philosophical framework with a very different theodicy from the Deists, Gottfried Leibniz, or even early Christian thinkers like Calvin, Aquinas, or Augustine.

The Problem of Evil series returns with part 10! In this episode, we'll review some of the reasons why theology shifted towards natural theology and rationalism during the Enlightenment and we'll see how a Christian rationalist like Gottfried Leibniz (a man who invented calculus, mechanical calculators, and artificial intelligence over 300 years ago) attempted to solve the problem of evil with his "best of all possible worlds" theodicy.You find all the previous episodes in this series at:https://deeptalkstheologypodcast.podbean.com/p/the-problem-of-evil-1572355242/This summer, Deep Talks is trying to reach a goal of 300 patrons on Patreon to sustain weekly, ad-free episodes.

This week's episode discusses the relationship between science and faith through several significant scientists throughout history including Nicholas Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Gottfried Leibniz, Blaise Pascal, and Leonard Euler. To discuss these significant people we interviewed our often-discussed mother, Sarah Foster. Sarah is a devoted Christian, math teacher, and history buff making her the perfect candidate for such a discussion. In telling their stories Sarah makes a holistic presentation of the world in which these scientists lived by tying together church history and scientific history. During the segments they sing a special hymn about pizza and ask a pressing question many students ask their math teachers.Support: All profits go back into creating the podcast.Patreon:www.patreon.com/apologeticssimplifiedTeespring Shop:https://teespring.com/stores/apologetics-simplifiedLet’s get social!Follow me on…Instagram: www.instagram.com/apologeticssimplifiedFacebook: www.facebook.com/apologeticssimplifiedTwitter: www.twitter.com/ApoloSimplified
If anything has been demonstrated in this breakdown crisis, it is the complete failure of what normally passes for economics in the universities. Lyndon LaRouche's recognition of the fraudulent character of the theories of Norbert Wiener and John von Neumann, which still today dominate the world of statistics and algorithms, laid the basis for his advancement of the science of physical economy. LaRouche bases his understanding on the ideas of Gottfried Leibniz, Friedrich List and the authors of the American System of economy, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay, and Henry C. Carey, and develops it further on the basis of the physical conceptions of Bernhard Riemann and Albert Einstein. His record as an economic forecaster is outstanding. It is notable that the Chinese economic model has much in common with the American System of economy, which among other things has to do with the role of Sun Yat-sen and the better periods of American-Chinese cooperation. Physical economy is not a specialized branch of science; rather, it encompasses the entirety of human knowledge, since it pertains to the creativity of human beings as such. What is needed today is a complete redefinition of what economic science actually is, for which new platforms of space science and space economics can serve as an orientation. The conference will also be the proud occasion to present the publication of the first volume of the planned edition of the Collected Works of Lyndon LaRouche, which will contain some of his basic writings on physical economy.
Today then my kippo Anima mundi The world soul (Greek: ψυχὴ κόσμου psuchè kósmou, Latin: anima mundi) is, according to several systems of thought, an intrinsic connection between all living things on the planet, which relates to our world in much the same way as the soul is connected to the human body. Plato adhered to this idea and it was an important component of most Neoplatonic systems: Therefore, we may consequently state that: this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence ... a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related. The Stoics believed it to be the only vital force in the universe. Similar concepts also hold in systems of eastern philosophy in the Brahman-Atman of Hinduism, the Buddha-Nature in Mahayana Buddhism,[citation needed] and in the School of Yin-Yang, Taoism, and Neo-Confucianism as qi. Other resemblances can be found in the thoughts of hermetic philosophers like Paracelsus, and by Baruch Spinoza, Gottfried Leibniz, Friedrich Schelling and in Hegel's Geist ("Spirit"/"Mind"). Ralph Waldo Emerson published "The Over-Soul" in 1841, which was influenced by the Hindu conception of a universal soul. There are also similarities with ideas developed since the 1960s by Gaia theorists such as James Lovelock.

Season 11, Episode 2. Ngaji Filsafat - Dr. Fahruddin Faiz Sir Isaac Newton (25 Desember 1642 – 20 Maret 1726/27) adalah seorang fisikawan, matematikawan, ahli astronomi, filsuf alam, kimiawan, dan teolog yang berasal dari Inggris. Dia merupakan pengikut aliran heliosentris dan ilmuwan yang sangat berpengaruh sepanjang sejarah, bahkan dikatakan sebagai bapak ilmu fisika klasik. Karya bukunya Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1687 dianggap sebagai buku paling berpengaruh sepanjang sejarah sains. Buku ini meletakkan dasar-dasar mekanika klasik. Dalam karyanya ini, Newton menjabarkan hukum gravitasi dan tiga hukum gerak yang mendominasi pandangan sains mengenai alam semesta selama tiga abad. Newton berhasil menunjukkan bahwa gerak benda di Bumi dan benda-benda luar angkasa lainnya diatur oleh sekumpulan hukum-hukum alam yang sama. Dia membuktikannya dengan menunjukkan konsistensi antara hukum gerak planet Kepler dengan teori gravitasinya. Karyanya ini akhirnya menyirnakan keraguan para ilmuwan akan heliosentrisme dan memajukan revolusi ilmiah. Dalam bidang mekanika, Newton mencetuskan adanya prinsip kekekalan momentum dan momentum sudut. Dalam bidang optika, dia berhasil membangun teleskop pemantul yang pertama dan mengembangkan teori warna berdasarkan pengamatan bahwa sebuah kaca prisma akan membagi cahaya putih menjadi warna-warna lainnya. Dia juga merumuskan hukum pendinginan dan mempelajari kecepatan suara. Dalam bidang matematika pula, bersama dengan karya Gottfried Leibniz yang dilakukan secara terpisah, Newton mengembangkan kalkulus diferensial dan kalkulus integral. Ia juga berhasil menjabarkan teori binomial, mengembangkan "metode Newton" untuk melakukan pendekatan terhadap nilai nol suatu fungsi, dan berkontribusi terhadap kajian deret pangkat. Sampai sekarang pun Newton masih sangat berpengaruh di kalangan ilmuwan. Sebuah survei tahun 2005 yang menanyai para ilmuwan dan masyarakat umum di Roya Society mengenai siapakah yang memberikan kontribusi lebih besar dalam sains, apakah Newton atau Albert Einstein, menunjukkan bahwa Newton dianggap memberikan kontribusi yang lebih besar.

In our last episode in this series, we explored how Molinism attempts to solve the problem of evil; but in today's episode, we will explore some of the objections to Molina's creative theodicy. How might Hitler and the Joker get us to reconsider whether this theodicy does what it sets out to do?Plus, how did the evil and suffering perpetrated by "Christians" in the 16th-18th century lead to the beginnings of secularism? What is natural theology? How did the scientific revolution lead to its popularization? How did natural theologians like Gottfried Leibniz attempt to address the problem of evil? What are the strengths and weaknesses of trying to do theodicy within the framework of natural theology?

Nihil est in intellectu quod prius non fuerit in sensu. Nihil? Nisi intellectus ipse! —trochu latinčiny na úvod a v dnešnej dávke sa dozviete presný preklad a význam týchto dvoch slávnych výrokov vo svete filozofiu. V 79. dávke sme sa pozreli na Lockeovu teóriu ľudského chápania a v jej závere nám vyvstala jedna kľúčová kritická otázka: ak je ľudská myseľ nepopísaný čistý papier a všetko poznanie prichádza na úplnom začiatku z našich zmyslov, metaforicky ale tento obraz nesedí. Ak je myseľ nepopísaný papier, a teda je úplne prázdna, predsa len prázdna nie je, pretože sa v mysli nachádza samotná myseľ. Aj nepopísaný papier je stále papier! A toto je klasická námietka proti Lockeovu empirizmu, s ktorou prišiel jeho súčasník, nemecký filozof Gottfried Leibniz a túto námietku si poriadne rozpitváme. ----more----Použitá a odporúčaná literatúra: Mark Kulstad a Laurence Carlin, „Leibniz's Philosophy of Mind", The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy(2013 ), https://stanford.io/2ktLS6D Daniel N.

Alternate Universes and Modal Realism. The Star Trek franchise is full of alternate universes, from different quantum realities (TNG: "Parallels") and the alternate reality seen in the Kelvin timeline (Star Trek, 2009) to the Mirror Universe seen in the Original Series, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Discovery. In Star Trek, these alternate universes are just as real as the actual universe, a philosophical position known as "modal realism." In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morrison debate modal realism, the reality of alternate universes, through the lens of the Star Trek universe and whether we should consider alternate realities or "possible worlds" to be as metaphysically real as our own actual universe. Chapters Intro (00:01:19) Initial Thought on Modal Realism (00:04:04) What Difference Does It Make? (00:08:45) David Lewis and Counterfactuals (00:12:36) Modal Concepts (00:17:43) The Distinction and Contrast of the Mirror Universe in Star Trek (00:20:46) Quantum Branching (00:29:50) Gottfried Leibniz and "Best of All Possible Worlds" (00:34:28) Is Modal Realism a Scientific Question or a Philosophical Question? (00:39:00) The Space Between the Spaces (00:43:26) Different Types of Possible Universes (00:45:20) Criticisms of Modal Realism (00:57:13) Diverging Universes (01:00:10) Closing (01:05:03) Hosts Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morrison Production Mike Morrison (Editor) Zachary Fruhling (Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Ken Tripp (Executive Producer) Patrick Devlin (Associate Producer) Kay Shaw (Associate Producer) Mark Walker (Associate Producer) Norman C.

According to philosopher Gottfried Leibniz, God could only create a world without the Fall if He created another one of Himself. Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ. (Galatians 3:16)
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the rise of the idea of perpetual motion and its decline, in the 19th Century, with the Laws of Thermodynamics. For hundreds of years, some of the greatest names in science thought there might be machines that could power themselves endlessly. Leonardo Da Vinci tested the idea of a constantly-spinning wheel and Robert Boyle tried to recirculate water from a draining flask. Gottfried Leibniz supported a friend, Orffyreus, who claimed he had built an ever-rotating wheel. An increasing number of scientists voiced their doubts about perpetual motion, from the time of Galileo, but none could prove it was impossible. For scientists, the designs were a way of exploring the laws of nature. Others claimed their inventions actually worked, and promised a limitless supply of energy. It was not until the 19th Century that the picture became clearer, with the experiments of James Joule and Robert Mayer on the links between heat and work, and the establishment of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. With Ruth Gregory Professor of Mathematics and Physics at Durham University Frank Close Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Oxford and Steven Bramwell Professor of Physics and former Professor of Chemistry at University College London Producer: Simon Tillotson.

On this episode of the podcast, we continue our discussion of Gottfried Leibniz. First, we delve more into the feud between Leibniz and Isaac Newton, which we briefly mentioned last week. Next, we ask ourselves why God sometimes allows Steve Buschemi to murder innocent hitchhikers and why this question is so crucial to Leibniz. Finally, we return to the issue of free will vs. determinism and wonder whether we’re ever actually free to decide what kind of cheese to buy.

On this episode of the podcast, we begin our discussion of Gottfried Leibniz. First, we find out what important invention created a riff between Leibniz and Isaac Newton. Next, we learn about Leibniz’s theory of Monads (which are basically the atoms of the spirit world), and how they are programmed to ensure that we are living in the best of all possible worlds. Finally, we learn about Leibniz’s distinction between “necessary truths” and “truths of fact,” and how knowing the difference can save you a lot of time and confusion.

Melvyn Bragg discusses the epic feud between Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz over who invented an astonishingly powerful new mathematical tool - calculus. Both claimed to have conceived it independently, but the argument soon descended into a bitter battle over priority, plagiarism and philosophy. Set against the backdrop of the Hanoverian succession to the English throne and the formation of the Royal Society, the fight pitted England against Europe, geometric notation against algebra. It was fundamental to the grounding of a mathematical system which is one of the keys to the modern world, allowing us to do everything from predicting the pressure building behind a dam to tracking the position of a space shuttle.Melvyn is joined by Simon Schaffer, Professor of History of Science at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Darwin College; Patricia Fara, Senior Tutor at Clare College, University of Cambridge; and Jackie Stedall, Departmental Lecturer in History of Mathematics at the University of Oxford.

“Why is there something rather than nothing?” asked the German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz several centuries ago. It’s one of the main questions animating Christopher Potter‘s first book, You Are Here. And given that there is something, how did it come into being? And how for that matter did we come into being, several billions of years after the universe began? These are some of the potentially dizzying questions that set Christopher’s investigation of the universe and our place in it in motion. This “portable history of the universe” ranges in its purview from the infinitely large and far away – distances measured in billions of light years – to the infinitely small (which he calls “the realm of tininess”), which is equally important to our understanding of how the universe works. The book also has fascinating things to say about the origins of life, the scientific mindset and the way in which human consciousness is “woven into the fabric of the universe”, as Freeman Dyson put it. (Potter cites Schrödinger’s memorable observation that without any …
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the mathematical structures that lie within the heart of music. The seventeenth century philosopher Gottfried Leibniz wrote: 'Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting'. Mathematical structures have always provided the bare bones around which musicians compose music and have been vital to the very practical considerations of performance such as fingering and tempo. But there is a more complex area in the relationship between maths and music which is to do with the physics of sound: how pitch is determined by force or weight; how the complex arrangement of notes in relation to each other produces a scale; and how frequency determines the harmonics of sound. How were mathematical formulations used to create early music? Why do we in the West hear twelve notes in the octave when the Chinese hear fifty-three? What is the mathematical sequence that produces the so-called 'golden section'? And why was there a resurgence of the use of mathematics in composition in the twentieth century? With Marcus du Sautoy, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford; Robin Wilson, Professor of Pure Mathematics at the Open University; Ruth Tatlow, Lecturer in Music Theory at the University of Stockholm.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Renaissance Mathematics. As with so many areas of European thought, mathematics in the Renaissance was a question of recovering and, if you were very lucky, improving upon Greek ideas. The geometry of Euclid, Appollonius and Ptolemy ruled the day. Yet within two hundred years, European mathematics went from being an art that would unmask the eternal shapes of geometry to a science that could track the manifold movements and changes of the real world. The Arabic tradition of Algebra was also assimilated. In its course it changed the way people understood numbers, movement, time, even nature itself and culminated in the calculus of Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. But how did this profound change come about? What were the ideas that drove it and is this the period in which mathematics became truly modern?With Robert Kaplan, co-founder of the Maths Circle at Harvard University; Jim Bennett, Director of the Museum of Science and Fellow of Linacre College, University of Oxford; Jackie Stedall, Research Fellow in the History of Mathematics, The Queen's College, Oxford.
