Beschreibung

Mesoamerican Time explores the fascinating origins and evolution of ancient Mesoamerican calendars, revealing how societies without advanced technology developed remarkably precise timekeeping systems. The book traces these systems from the Olmecs and Zapotecs to the more well-known Maya and Aztecs, demonstrating how these calendars were integral to religious beliefs, agricultural practices, and political structures. Intriguingly, these calendars were not just about tracking days; they were deeply intertwined with understanding the cosmos, and the book highlights how the 260-day Tzolkin ritual calendar, and the 365-day Haab solar calendar worked together.

 
The book emphasizes the foundational contributions of the Olmecs and Zapotecs, often overlooked in favor of the Maya. It examines the Long Count calendar and other systems, presenting historical context, Mesoamerican mathematics, and hieroglyphic writing to explain their complexity. By analyzing stelae inscriptions, monumental art, and archaeological site layouts, the book progresses from introducing basic concepts to exploring the specific contributions of each civilization, ultimately examining the enduring legacy and modern relevance of these ingenious systems.

    Three Dialogues Between Hylas...

    Berkeley uses the Socratic mode of inquiry in Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous to question fundamental beliefs about knowledge and reality. These dialogues are between Hylas (whose name is derived from the ancient Greek word for matter) and Philonous, whose name means “lover of mind.” The new physical sciences developed in the seventeenth century supported the materialism proposed by Thomas Hobbes and several other philosophers.
     
    This worldview proclaimed that all of reality consists of nothing but matter in motion, thus promoting atheism and ethical skepticism. The implications for politics, ethics, and religion caused concern among leading intellectuals in the eighteenth century. Whatever the value of the positive claims presented in this work, Berkeley foreshadows the philosophical impact of twentieth century physics, which challenges the foundations of such materialism and calls for a better understanding of both the physical and the mental aspects of reality

    In the 1930s, American colleges and universities began to screen applications using the SAT, a mass-administered, IQ-descended standardized test. The widespread adoption of the test accompanied the development of the world's first mass higher education system—and served to promote the idea that the United States was becoming a "meritocracy." In Higher Admissions, Nicholas Lemann reflects on the state of America's aspirational meritocracy and the enduring value and meaning of standardized testing. 
     
     
     
    Lemann writes that the anticipation of the Supreme Court's 2023 decision banning affirmative action, plus the Covid pandemic, led hundreds of universities to stop requiring standardized admissions tests; now a handful of elite universities are reinstituting test requirements. The country is preoccupied with the admissions policies of the most selective universities, but Lemann redirects our attention to an alternate path that American higher education can still take—one that emphasizes a significant upgrade of the entire higher education system. Lemann argues that to improve the state of higher education overall, we should focus not on the narrow chokepoint of admission to highly selective colleges, but on efforts to create as much meaningful opportunity for flourishing in our vast higher education system for as many people as possible.
