“I can unequivocally say that this is the book every man needs.” —Mark Groves, human connection specialist and founder of Create The LoveSuck it up. Stuff it down.

Ancient Greek Astronomy and...

Charles River Editors

For the ancient Greeks, the gods were capricious beings subject to the same passions, emotions, and vicissitudes as humans were, and no more enlightened as to the nature of existence and the path to a good and happy life. Given the fallibility of the gods in Greek mythology, some philosophers and scientists stepped in where religion refused to go. As early as the 6th century BCE Greek thinkers began to thoroughly explore the world and the actions of humans through natural science, reason, mathematics, metaphysics, and ontology. After Thales, a stream of philosophers, mathematicians, and engineers emerged, including names that are well known today, including Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Heraclitus, Epicurus, and Diogenes.
For the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians, sky watching served religious or practical purposes, but for the Greeks, it was also theoretical. They wanted to know why heavenly bodies moved as they did, and for that reason, the Greeks added mathematics, geometry, and philosophical reasoning to the crucial foundational data of the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Egyptians. Over hundreds of years, various Greek innovators explored the underlying mechanics of the universe, leading to the first physical models of the cosmos. By the 5th century BCE, Pythagoras proposed that the world was not flat, but a sphere, Anaxagoras explained why eclipses happened and described meteorites, and Leucippus and Democritus wrote that tiny, invisible atoms were the building blocks of the entire universe. By the 3rd century BCE, Aristarchus of Samos taught that Earth rotated on its axis each day and revolved around the Sun each year. Eratosthenes used geometry to calculate the distance around Earth from pole to pole, and he came unbelievably close to precisely accurate measurements. Thanks to these scientific pioneers and their works, the Greeks laid the cornerstone of modern astronomy.

In the shadow of violence

Mohammad Fazeli

Mohammad Fazeli has summarized the book *"Violence and Social Orders"* in five parts.    This book, one of the final works by Douglass North, was written after his 90th birthday in collaboration with Barry Weingast, a political science professor at Stanford University, and John Wallis, an economic historian. It offers a unique perspective on the history of development.    The book examines the theory of violence and social orders in several developing countries. While it provides a historical interpretation of the transformations in European societies, the authors use this historical understanding to critique conventional development policies. In the final chapter, they discuss the theoretical implications of this alternative view of history.    The book introduces distinct theoretical hypotheses, making it highly engaging for those interested in political and economic development.    This work challenges many of the conventional teachings on political and economic development in Iran.
