Anaximedes
Anaxímedes
Filósofo griego. Discípulo de Anaximandro y de Parménides, se desconocen la mayor parte de los detalles de la biografía de Anaxímenes y de sus actividades. Según la información del historiador Apolodoro, Anaxímenes vivió hacia la época de la toma de Sardes y murió antes de que la ciudad de Mileto fuera destruida (494 a.C.).

Miembro de la escuela milesia, Anaxímenes afirmó que el principio material y primero, el origen de todas las cosas (arché) era el aire, sustancia sensible, pero que raya en lo incorpóreo. Explica el origen de todas las cosas a partir de un doble proceso por el que el aire se modifica: rarefacción, que da origen al fuego, y condensación, del que se derivan las nubes, el agua, la tierra y las rocas.

Con estas dos nociones, Anaxímenes explica los cambios de la naturaleza, o lo que es lo mismo, dos modalidades de movimiento: cuantitativa y cualitativa. El mundo entero está envuelto en el aire como en su propia alma. La misma alma humana, fundida en el alma del mundo, es también aire. De esta manera concibió el mundo como un ser vivo, análogamente a como concebía el alma de los hombres: «De la misma manera que nuestra alma, que es aire, nos sostiene, igualmente un soplo y el aire envuelven el mundo entero.» En su concepción, la Tierra es plana y flota, pero no ya sobre el agua, como quería Tales, sino en el aire; sostuvo también que los astros no se mueven bajo la Tierra sino en torno a

    Since Mrs. Peguero completed her first group of stunning flowers, each has shown the stages of life from birth to adolescence, adulthood to aged and finally death. But in 2007 her use of symbolism became very pronounced in the work named “La Montanas Esmeralda de Quisqueya” or “The Emerald Hills of Quisqueya”. The work was commissioned to be a visualization of the poem with the same name. In the painting there are many symbols and imagery that deal with the social and environmental issues that Mrs. Peguero sees while working in the countryside.…

    On November 8, 1519, the Spanish conquistadors first entered the great city of Mexico, the metropolis the Aztecs had built on a lake island. Don Hernando Cortes, who was accompanied by six hundred Spaniards and a great many native allies, at last could see for himself the temples and palaces about which he had heard so many marvels. The Spaniards arrived from the direction of Tlalpan, to the south of the city, passing across one of the wide causeways that connected the island with the mainland. When they reached a locality known as Xoloco, they were welcomed by the last of the Motecuhzomas, who had come out to meet them in the belief that the white men must be Quetzalcoatll and other gods, returning at last from across the waters now known as the Gulf of Mexico. Thus Cortes and his men entered the city, not only as guests, but also as gods coming home. It was the first direct encounter between one of the most extraordinary pre-Columbian cultures and the strangers who would eventually destroy it.…
