  1. 🔥Cicero entdeckt den 'Linksextremismus' neu: "Die Stille nach dem Brandanschlag" 🔥

    In einem recht wüst zusammengestückelten Artikel mit Überlänge, spannt der selbsterkannte 'RAF-Terrorismusexperte' Butz Peters, seines Zeichens Anwalt und Journalist, den Bogen von der RAF, über die Vulkangruppe, hin zu Angry Birds und Antifa-Ost. Dazu noch das ZDF mit Danger Dans Song 'Keine Angst' sowie Lina E. aus dem Antifa-Ost-Verfahren.

    Atemlos, ziellos, ohne echten roten Faden, aber wichtig, wichtig, 'RAF' aufs Cover schreiben.

    Das rechte Monatsmagazin Cicero räumt dem Autor dafür fast 10 Seiten frei.

  2. The Reality of Dreams

    Throughout Human history, dreams have fascinated, inspired and disturbed us. Where do they come from? Why do they happen? What do they mean? Different civilisations have tried to answer these questions. The Ancient Mesopotamians thought of dreams as divine messages. The most well known Mesopotamian story is the Epic of Gilgamesh, where Gilgamesh receives dreams about the future. They also had dream temples, where people would go in order to sleep and receive these divine messages in their […]

  4. Ist Freundschaft nicht eine vollwertige Beziehung, bloß ohne das körperliche halt, oder gibt es da einfach Abstufungen? Ist es ein fluides Spektrum irgendwo zwischen zufälligem Treffen, Bekanntschaft und bestem Freund dem ich meine dunkelsten Geheimnisse anvertraue? Natürlich ist es das. Freundschaften muss man gar nicht unbedingt genau definieren, entweder sie gibt einem ein positives […]

  5. A quotation from Accius

    Let them hate me, so long as they fear me.
     
    [Óderint, dum métuant.]

    Accius (170-c. 86 BC) Roman tragic poet, literary scholar [Lucius Accius, Lucius Attius]
    Atreus (fragment 168) [tr. Kline (2010)]

  6. Max Dehn (1878–1952) said that Archimedes’ (c.287–212 BCE) discovery that the surface area of a sphere was four times its great circle was the one of the most beautiful results of Greek mathematics.

    Archimedes himself had a high opinion of this result and two others in his two books ‘On the Sphere and the Cylinder’: that the volume and surface area of a sphere and a cylinder exactly circumscribing it are in the ratio $2 : 3$. One can add a cone fitting inside the cylinder to have ratios $1 : 2 : 3$ (see 1st attached image).

    It has been suggested that Archimedes’ conjectures for these ratios may have been guided by a conscious or unconscious search for beautiful integer ratios between geometric configurations. There is no direct evidence for this motivation, but Archimedes’ work seems to exhibit a preference for small integer ratios.

    According to Plutarch, Archimedes desired that his tomb should be marked by a cylinder enclosing a sphere and an inscription of the ratio of the one to the other; Cicero related how he had sought out Archimedes’ tomb and found a column just so inscribed (see 2nd attached image).

    [Each day of February, I intend to post an interesting story/image/fact/anecdote related to the aesthetics of mathematics.]

  7. A quotation from Cicero

    Those very philosophers even in the books which they write about despising glory, put their own names on the title-page. In the very act of recording their contempt for renown and notoriety, they desire to have their own names known and talked of.
     
    [Ipsi illi philosophi etiam illis libellis, quos de contemnenda gloria scribunt, nomen suum inscribunt; in eo ipso in quo praedicationem nobilitatemque despiciunt, praedicari de se, ac nominari volunt.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Pro Archia Poeta [For Archia the Poet], ch. 11 / sec. 26 (62 BC) [tr. Yonge (1856)]

  8. A quotation from Cicero

    Nothing flourishes for ever; each generation gives place to its successor.
     
    [Nihil enim semper floret; aetas succedit aetati.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 11, ch. 15 / sec. 39 (11.15/11.39) (43-02 BC) [ed. Harbottle (1897)]

  9. new stuff this long weekend:
    1. two coffee cups, handmade, sold by the public library, besides books the public library also has seeds, so the quote makes double sense
    2. the board game Finspan, a fish version of Wingspan, it 20% simpler than the original Wingspan, plays differently enough to pay for it

  10. A quotation from Cicero

    It was this fear which led me into the snare of procrastination. But if I make haste now I regain all; if I delay I lose all.
     
    [Hoc verens in hanc tarditatem incidi. Bed adsequar omnia si propero: si cunctor, amitto.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Epistulae ad Atticum [Letters to Atticus], Book 10, Letter 8, sec. 5 (10.8.5) (49 BC) [tr. Jeans (1880), # 71]

  11. Habeck und der Atomausstieg: Medienbericht erhebt Vorwürfe – aber was steckt dahinter?

    Dem Umwelt- und dem Wirtschaftsministerium wird Täuschung vorgeworfen. Hätten die letzten Atomkraftwerke möglicherweise länger laufen können, als sie es am Ende taten? Worum es geht, erklären wir hier.

  12. On #Cicero 's birthday, a post about #FrancisHutcheson who chose Cicero’s "De finibus bonorum et malorum" (“On the ends of good and evil”) to hold in the famous portrait by Allan Ramsey (painted late in his life, see below), suggesting some regard for the author.

    It also reflects Hutcheson's attitude to #Stoicism. Cicero’s "De finibus" both expounds Stoicism and criticises it.

    Francis Hutcheson, the Ulster Stoic:
