1. This passage discusses Plato's later works from his "old age" period, including the Timaeus, the incomplete Critias, and the Laws.
2. In the Timaeus and Critias dialogues, Socrates converses with a Pythagorean who details Pythagorean mathematical and biological views that Plato largely agrees with, as Plato was influenced by Pythagoreans he visited and hosted in southern Italy late in life.
3. The incomplete Critias dialogue focuses on history, while the lengthy Laws restates Plato's views on the ideal state. The Laws is also unique as the only Platonic dialogue not featuring Socrates.
"1517’de, Antiller’deki altın madenlerinin cehennemsi derinliklerinde eriyip giden yerlilere çok acıyan İspanyol misyoner Bartolomé de las Casas, İspanya Kralı V. Carlos’a zenci ithal etmeyi önermişti. Antiller’deki altın madenlerinin cehennemsi derinliklerinde eriyip gitsin diye." Jorge Luis Borges
1. The document discusses two books that influenced Darwin greatly during his student years - William Paley's Natural Theology from 1802 and Sir John Herschel's 1830 book A Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy.
2. It then discusses two books that Darwin read voraciously while aboard the HMS Beagle - Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology published between 1830-1833 and John Milton's Paradise Lost, which was particularly fitting for Darwin's condition at sea.
3. The document notes how Lyell's idea that geological formations were shaped slowly over vast periods of time by natural processes like erosion rather than divine creation was radical at the time but greatly illuminated Darwin's thinking
The document discusses a customer who is cold and in need of various items like a jacket, button, thread, and needle to address the issue. While these individual items were purchased, the customer remained cold since the items did not come together automatically. The document suggests that in order to solve the problem, the customer will need to purchase additional services as well, referencing a watchmaker example from a book by Palley.
The document discusses the concept of the sacred. According to the author Engin Geçtan, sacred means something that is worshipped and deeply believed in and loved. For him, the essence of sacredness is innocence. All of nature displays an innate innocence, as do newborn babies and uncivilized humans. We are too corrupted to see this innocence around us. Geçtan agrees with the philosopher Gurdjieff that we should observe animals, as they can teach us. Nature documentaries on National Geographic have illuminated Geçtan and allowed him to appreciate the worship-worthy world. He wishes people would stop using "animal" as an insult toward others.
The document discusses lilacs and their significance in literature and Istanbul. It describes the author's surprise at seeing lilac bushes flowering in late autumn in their backyard in Sisli. It reminisces about lilacs lining paths between Kadikoy and Moda and how the sight of flowering lilac trees now causes feelings of loss and memories of deceased loved ones. Lilacs were once abundant in Istanbul but have greatly decreased.
The document discusses James Thurber's cartoon "What have you done with Dr. Millmoss?". It summarizes Thurber saying he originally drew the water hyena just to amuse his daughter, but something in its expression made him think it had eaten a person, so he added the hat and pipe. It also discusses whether moments of chance can be considered in art, or if unconscious influences guide artists' hands. The author argues chance determines the shape of ink blots but our experiences influence what we see in them. An artist's orientation cannot predict exactly how changes will affect the work, but their ability to observe and adjust is what allows them to develop the work.

The document discusses three foundational scientific ideas that shaped the 20th century: the atom, the byte, and the gene. It mentions how Mukherjee's book Gen reminds us of these three building blocks and how examining them together can help reveal relationships and similarities. It then discusses how an illustration or diagram of atoms and genes could provide an easily understandable framework to depict what we can manipulate by understanding and combining these concepts.
This document summarizes a passage about photographer Sebastiao Salgado's experience visiting a gold mine in Brazil called Serra Pelada. The passage describes how when Salgado reached the bottom of the vast pit, he felt chills, as he had never seen anything like it before. In a half second, he saw the entire history of mankind - the construction of the pyramids, the Tower of Babel, King Solomon's mines. The only sounds were the murmurs of the 50,000 people working there with their bare hands, with conversations and noises mixing with the sounds of physical labor. It was like traveling back to the beginning of time, and he could almost hear the gold whispering to the souls of

Eller ve Dil / Güzel ile çirkin kelimelerinin eş anlamlıları
1. Montaigne’nin ünlü kitabında,
bu satırları gördüğünüz zaman; evrimsel süreçlerde, birbiri ile ilintili ve birbirini tetikleyen/geliştiren “elin
kullanımı, dilin ortaya çıkışı, beynin gelişimi” gibi kavramlar aklınızdan geçiyor.
Bu konu ile ilgili çok fazla kaynak veya yazı bulabilirsiniz. Aşağıda şimdi bulduğum birini örnek olarak ekliyorum.

Eller ve Dil - Güzel ile çirkinin eş anlamlıları
“Ya ellerle neler söylemeyiz?
… dille yarışacak kadar”
h6ps://phys.org/news/2019-08-gestures-language.html
Eco’nun kitabında da çirkin (olumsuz/negatif) için olan sıfatları
gördüğünüzde güzel (olumlu/pozitif) için olanlardan sayıca daha fazla olması
hemen dikkatinizi çeker.
Montaigne’nin el ile yapılabilecekleri fazlasıyla dilin alanına giriyor olsa da;
pozitif/negatif eylemler kimi zaman çok net olmasa da; birinin diğerine
(olumlu/olumsuz olarak) göre sayıca üstünlüğü de yok denebilir.
Galip kim, el mi dil mi, olumlu mu olumsuz mu? Neden? Bunlar neyi işaret ediyor? … vs.
