The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE
PHILOSOPHY OF THE HUMAN
PERSON
JAN PAULINE L. GALLEGO
August 31-September 2, 2020
Lesson 4. Pre-Socratic
Philosophy
Notre Dame of Tacurong College
Senior High School Department
City of Tacurong
3. Objectives:
Upon completing the lesson , students will be
able to:
Discuss the pre-Socratic Philosophy.
Enumerate the pre-Socratic philosophers
and knowing their philosophy.
Realize the value of pre-Socratic philosophy
in unfolding man’s speculative thinking.
Answer the given activity reflecting the
Philosophies of the pre-Socratic philosophers.
4. Pre - Socratic Philosophy
Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are the
most famous but not the first.
Usually we count the philosopher
THALES as being the first true
philosopher.
Thales lived around 600BC and
started the trend of western
philosophical thinking.
5. Why Look at the Pre Socratics
The syllabus requires you to know
elements of the philosophies of Plato
and Aristotle.
However, they produced their
philosophy in reaction to and
developing from that of the pre-
Socratics.
Really we identify the emergence of
philosophy by 3 main traits…
6. What makes it philosophy?
Speculative thinking expresses human curiosity
about the world, striving to understand in natural
(rather than super-natural) terms how things really
are, what they are made of, and how they function.
Practical thinking emphasizes the desire to guide
conduct by comprehending the nature of life and
the place of human beings and human behaviour
in the greater scheme of reality.
Critical thinking (the hallmark of philosophy itself)
involves a careful examination of the foundations
upon which thinking of any sort must rely, trying to
achieve an effective method for assessing the
reliability of positions adopted on the significant
issues.
7. The Family Tree
Socrates taught Plato who taught
Aristotle.
Before Socrates were a wide group of
philosophers known collectively as the
pre-Socratics although they all had
VERY different sorts of ideas.
This history starts with Thales of
Miletus…
8.
9. The First 3 Western Philosophers
are from Miletus
It is among the colonies of Asia Minor
that the story of philosophy begins, in
the city of Miletus where the first three
Western philosophers were born and
lived:
Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes
They sought the PRIMARY
SUBSTANCE.
10. Thales(625-545 BC)
Thales is said to have
declared the primary
substance is water.
He held that the
transformation of this
fundamental substance is
the source of all living
things.
13. Anaximander (c. 610—546
B.C.E.)
He doubted whether
any fundamental
substance would exist
in an observable pure
form.
This usually translated
as “the infinite” or
“the boundless”.
14. Another issue the Pre-
Socratics wrestled with was
the so-called Problem of
Change, how things appear
to change from one form to
another.
15. Heraclitus (540-480 BC)
Heraclitus was the
first philosopher we
know of to both
emphasize the
general process of
change and to
carefully analyze
particular
manifestations
thereof.
16. At the extremes, Heraclitus
believed in an-going process of
perpetual change, a constant
interplay of opposites.
He thought that the whole
universe was composed of
different forms of fire.
17. Heraclitus: 2 main ideas
(1) the Heraclitean doctrine of flux (which
viewed the whole cosmos as in a constant
state of change). He expressed this view
poetically as a metaphor: "You cannot step
twice into the same river; for fresh waters
are ever flowing in upon you."
(2) his disagreement with Thales about
the basic fundamental element. For
Heraclitus, the fundamental element of the
universe was fire (not water).
18. Parmenides (504-456 BC)
All of reality is changeless. The universe
is one; change and motion is an illusion.
19. Parmenides
All of us, although we seem
individual, are part of one great
unity or whole- the universe.
He denied that there was any such
thing as change at all, and argued
that everything that exists is
permanent, indestructible, and
unchanging.
20. Zeno of Elea (490-430 BC)
Zeno’s Paradox. He attempts
to show that motion is
impossible.
He held that all belief in
plurality and change is
mistaken, and in particular that
motion is nothing but an
illusion.
21. Empedocles (490-435 BC)
True reality is changeless. But
apparent change in objects is
not an illusion.
Change is caused by changes
in the position of the four basic
elements- earth, fire, water
and air.
Love and strife (hate)
are the forces of change.
22. The Atomist
Democritus (460-360 BC)
He argued that all of reality is
actually composed of tiny,
indivisible and
indestructible building blocks
known as atoms, which form
different combinations and
shapes within the surrounding
void.
