The Deep-Set Boundary Stone - Epicurus vs. Geometry In Ethics - Discussion

  • Cassius January 21, 2025 at 6:20 PM

    Changed the title of the thread from “The Deep-Set Boundary Stone - Discussion” to “The Deep-Set Boundary Stone - Epicurus vs. Geometry In Ethics - Discussion”.

    Regarding geometry, I found this article, which says Pappus of Alexandria talked about the hexagon, and it would also be Pythagoras who talked about the ideas of the hexagon as the perfect shape of nature.

    The hexagon shape and why it shows up so much in nature
    The hexagon is surprisingly present in many parts of nature.

    ( Cassius if there is a better place for this article please move this)

    In answer to your comment Kalosyni about where to file your post, I have renamed a subforum under Physics and I will look for other threads that bear on similar issues (Pythagorean or Platonic forms or geometry and mathematics) and make sure they appear there.

    If there are "General Discussion" threads that fit under that category, we can "move" those threads there.

    If there are discussions under sections of the forum devoted to Plato or Pythagorus that should appear both in those forums and under the following physics thread, let's change them to "announcements" and tag them to appear both places.

    This is a recurring and important topic and for example Bryan's recent posts on Timaeus need to appear in both places.
