HIPPARCHUS (c 190 – c120 BC) Hipparchus was a Greek astronomer‚ mathematician and geographer. Surprisingly little is known about his early life. He was most certainly born in Nicaea‚ Bithynia‚ (which is now known as Iznik in Turkey)‚ around 190 BC. Most of what we do about him comes from the books of other scholars who came after him‚ such as Ptolemy and Strabo. It seems likely that Hipparchus studied in Alexandria but spent his later life in Rhodes. Strabo‚ another Greek geographer writing about

Jacob Walton A Transcendental Philosopher: Christopher McCandless The novel Into the Wild‚ by Jon Krakauer‚ is a story about a transcendental philosopher by the name of Christopher Johnson McCandless. The story follows the journey of McCandless across America; relying only on what he can carry on his back. McCandless shows self-reliance‚ a love of nature‚ and has withdrawn from society in many ways throughout the book. A very important characteristic of any transcendentalist is self-reliance.

Yilin Zhang First Question The transcendental deduction is about priori concepts‚ categories. The aim of it is to demonstrate that we have a priori notions or categories that are objectively valid‚ along with applying necessarily to all things in the world that we experience under space and time. To achieve it‚ Kant brings up the argument that the categories are necessary conditions of experience‚ or that failing to have the condition of categories leads no experience at all. He debates on that

The proof that categories of the understanding and a transcendental unity of apperception are necessary condition for the possibility of experience is what Immanuel Kant claims to be the “Transcendental Deduction”. By this‚ Kant intends to address and attack one main problem: how we‚ as humans‚ can know that the categories apply to experience. From logic‚ we can easily conclude that empirical concepts are applicable to experience due to the simple fact that they are derived from experience in the
