'Proportio' features specially commissioned artworks by contemporary artists, 20th century masterpieces, Old Master paintings, archaeological artefacts, as well as architectural models and a large library of historical books on proportions. All these works provide a lens to help us see what proportion can teach us about the essential design of the present and how we can use this knowledge to create a blueprint for the future. This exhibition is an opportunity to explore universal proportions and an invitation to reflect upon the interconnectedness of our universe. 'Proportio' includes newly commissioned installations by contemporary artists such as Marina Abramovíc, Anish Kapoor, Massimo Bartolini, Rei Naito, Michaël Borremans, Ettore Spaletti, along with existing masterpieces by Ellsworth Kelly, Carl André and Sol Lewitt, as well as antiquities, Old Masters and antique architectural models.

For textual studies relating to the ancient mathematical corpus the efforts by the Danish philologist, 1. L. Heiberg (1854-1928), are especially significant. Beginning with his doctoral dissertation, Quaestiones Archimedeae (Copen hagen, 1879), Heiberg produced an astonishing series of editions and critical studies that remain the foundation of scholarship on Greek mathematical 4 science. For comprehensiveness and accuracy, his editions are exemplary. In his textual studies, as also in the prolegomena to his editions, he carefully described the extant evidence, organized the manuscripts into stemmata, and drew out the implications for the state of the text. 5 With regard to his Archimedean work, Heiberg sometimes betrayed signs of the philologist's occupational disease - the tendency to rewrite a text deemed on subjective grounds to be unworthy. 6 But he did so less often than his prominent 7 contemporaries, and not as to detract appreciably from the value of his editions. In examining textual questions bearing on the Archimedean corpus, he attempted to exploit as much as possible evidence from the ancient commentators, and in some instances from the medieval translations. It is here that opportunities abound for new work, extending, and in some instances superseding, Heiberg's findings. For at his time the availability of the medieval materials was limited. In recent years Marshall Clagett has completed a mammoth critical edition of the medieval Latin tradition of Archimedes,8 while the bibliographical instruments for the Arabic tradition are in good order thanks to the work of Fuat Sezgin.

„Wenn auch Hiller das Princip combinirter Rhythmen nicht erfand, so entwickelte er es doch auf einen Punct, auf welchem man ein solches Verfahren umfassender und genauer beurtheilen kann, als bei irgend einem anderen Componisten.“ Obwohl diese an Adolf Bernhard Marx gerichtete Polemik Liszts einer 1855 kaum konsensfähigen Hiller-Apologie gleichkam, weist Liszts Behauptung, Hillers Rhythmische Studien böten „nicht so wenig des Neuen“, als es Fétis schon vermeint habe, offensichtlich auf ein fruchtbares Novum. Es scheint daher plausibel, die de facto von Liszt gestellte rhythmische Frage – aller Differenzen zum Trotz – aus dem kompositorischen Werk Hillers zu entwickeln. Dieses Buch zeichnet im Ausgang der Wolfgang Caspar Printz’schen proportio artificiosa raro usitata (1668) zunächst die Historie der stets latent gegenwärtigen Versuche, die Enge einer nur dichotomen Taktmetrik zu überwinden, und positioniert Hillers rhythmische Grenzgänge von 1851 im so gewonnenen historischen Kontext. Von hier lässt sich eine Linie ziehen zu den großen Sinfonien Liszts bis hin zu den 5/4-Takten im dritten Tristan-Akt. Im Anhang befindet sich das erste umfassende Hiller-Werkverzeichnis. ((Gek. WT:)) „Wenn auch Hiller das Princip combinirter Rhythmen nicht erfand, so entwickelte er es doch auf einen Punct, auf welchem man ein solches Verfahren umfassender und genauer beurtheilen kann, als bei irgend einem anderen Componisten.“ (Franz Liszt) Dieses Buch zeichnet im Ausgang der Wolfgang Caspar Printz’schen proportio artificiosa raro usitata (1668) zunächst die Historie der stets latent gegenwärtigen Versuche, die Enge einer nur dichotomen Taktmetrik zu überwinden, und positioniert Hillers rhythmische Grenzgänge von 1851 im so gewonnenen historischen Kontext. Von hier lässt sich eine Linie ziehen zu den großen Sinfonien Liszts bis hin zu den 5/4-Takten im dritten Tristan-Akt. Im Anhang befindet sich das erste umfassende Hiller-Werkverzeichnis. “Even if Hiller did not invent the principle of combined rhythms, he developed it to a point where one can evaluate it more fully and precisely than in the work of any other composer.” (Franz Liszt) Starting with Wolfgang Caspar Printz’s proportio artificiosa raro usitata (1668), this book first traces the history of the latent but ever present attempts to overcome the narrowness of a dichotomous metre, and places Hiller’s rhythmic experiments of 1851 in this context. A line can be traced from here to Liszt’s great symphonies and the 5/4 bars in the third act of Tristan. An appendix offers the first comprehensive catalogue of Hiller’s works.

This book documents the history of pi from the dawn of mathematical time to the present. One of the beauties of the literature on pi is that it allows for the inclusion of very modern, yet accessible, mathematics. The articles on pi collected herein fall into various classes. First and foremost there is a selection from the mathematical and computational literature of four millennia. There is also a variety of historical studies on the cultural significance of the number. Additionally, there is a selection of pieces that are anecdotal, fanciful, or simply amusing. For this new edition, the authors have updated the original material while adding new material of historical and cultural interest. There is a substantial exposition of the recent history of the computation of digits of pi, a discussion of the normality of the distribution of the digits, and new translations of works by Viete and Huygen.

This volume deals with a variety of moments in the history of mechanics when conflicts arose within one textual tradition, between different traditions, or between textual traditions and the wider world of practice. Its purpose is to show how the accommodations sometimes made in the course of these conflicts ultimately contributed to the emergence of modern mechanics.

The Dialectics Of Creation written by Martin G. Poulsom and has been published by Bloomsbury Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-03-13 with Religion categories.

This book investigates the philosophical components of Christian faith in creation, by analyzing the distinction and the relation between creation and its Creator.The writings of Edward Schillebeeckx and David Burrell supply a terminology of distinction and relation that shapes the discourse, following in the footsteps of Aquinas. Poulsom elucidates the relational dialectic in the thought of Schillebeeckx as a way of thinking about the Creation and offers a helpful comparison with the thought of David Burrell. Relational dialectic is an organizing principle, not only of Schillebeeckx's account of creation, but of his philosophical theology more generally. It can operate as a hermeneutic for his material on praxis and humanism, in a way that resolves some problems noted by other Schillebeeckx scholars. Poulsom's interpretation of Schillebeeckx enriches current approaches to this thinker and offers a significant contribution to thinking on the doctrine of Creation and issues surrounding the 'ontological distinction' which is of major concern in philosophical theology today.

Calculating Ethics in the Fourteenth Century addresses a moment in the history of ethics, when discoveries in natural philosophy blurred the boundary between the possible and the impossible, and made the impossible a preferred territory in discussions on practical reason. The volume studies the onset and expansion of a new movement in constructing ethics, as the methods, arguments, and cases adopted from logic and natural philosophy came to be extensively applied at Oxford and swiftly disseminated among other Oxonians eventually making their way outside Oxford. It shows how the Oxford Calculators triggered a unique and durable transformation in ethics. Contributors are Pascale Bermon, Valeria Buffon, Michael W. Dunne, Marek Gensler, Simon Kemp, Edit A. Lukács, Monika Michałowska, and Andrea Nannini.
