Extractions: Greek Philosopher Empedocles, a philosopher of Greek descent, lived in Sicily. Empedocles discovered air as a separate substance. In his cosmology fire, air, water and earth mingle and separate under the compulsion of love and strife. He wrote a poetic treatise 'On Nature'. It contained ideas that anticipated the ideas of evolution, the circulation of the blood, and atmospheric pressure. www link :

Extractions: 'Fragments' There is an oracle of Necessity, ancient decree of the gods, eternal and sealed with broad oaths: whenever one of those demi-gods, whose lot is long-lasting life, has sinfully defiled his dear limbs ' with bloodshed, or following strife has sworn a false oath, thrice ten thousand seasons does he wander far from the blessed, being born throughout that time in the forms of all manner of mortal things and changing one baleful path of life for another. The might of the air pursues him into the sea, the sea spews him forth on to the dry land, the earth casts him into the rays of the burning sun, and the sun into the eddies of air. one takes him from the other, but all alike abhor him.

http://physics.hallym.ac.kr/education/hep/adventure/Empedocles.html

Extractions: In the 5th century BC Empedocles classified all substances as combinations of four elements: air, earth, fire, and water. In the 4th century BC Aristotle reiterated this, emphasizing that these four elements are bearers of fundamental properties. When looking at the physical world, the most striking basic differences are those between solids, liquids, gases, and fire. These observed differences must be accounted for by any scientific theory of nature. Empedocles' theory was a natural extension of this. This theory dominated physics and chemistry until the 17th century. Use your browser's back button to return to the main sequence.

INVENTOR empedocles OF ACRAGAS (fl. 495 435 BC) Work empedocles did not accept coming-into-being and passing-away in the strict sense of the words.
http://www.tmth.edu.gr/en/aet/5/41.html

Extractions: Son of the Olympic champion Meton, student of Xenophanes of Colophon, Anaxagoras of Clazomenae and Parmenides of Elea, Empedocles was a great naturalist who sought to construct a coherent theory of the physical world. He is cited by Diogenes Laertius, Plutarch, John Tsetses, Iamblichus and Vitruvius. Empedocles did not accept "coming-into-being" and "passing-away" in the strict sense of the words. Rather, in order to explain changes in matter he posited a cohesive elemental matter of which the entire world is composed, based on the four fundamental elements of fire, water, earth and air. In his theory, change was brought about by the action and interaction of two forces: "Love" (or attraction) and "Strife" (or repulsion). In the beginning, matter was "held together by Love in the form of a sphere". Then "Strife intervened to dissociate the elements, and whirlwinds and vortexes were produced". Empedocles, in other words, foreshadowed modern theories of nebulae, atoms and nuclei; he was also the first to formulate a corpuscular theory of matter.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/xfiles/episodeguide/eight/page17.shtml

Extractions: A burning man could be connected to Doggett's son... In a New Orleans office, Gary Garber informs his employee JebDukes that he has been sacked. Stunned, Jeb walks outside, and sees a car being chased by a police cruiser speed into a collision with a four-wheel-drive and burst into flames. A Burning Man calmly steps out of the car and walks right into Jebs body, suddenly disappearing, as if having been absorbed into him. Later Jeb returns to the office with a handgun and kills Garber and personnel officer Roberta Toews. Agent Monica Reyes goes to New Orleans to assist with the investigation. Her cheery mood evaporates when a vision of Toews' corpse, now charcoal-like in appearance, fills her mind. Meanwhile, Mulder rushes Scully to the hospital after she suddenly doubles-over in pain. Reyes asks Mulder for his help with the case, explaining that she is reluctant to ask Doggett because the case involves him. They meet and Reyes gives Mulder two files pertaining to the death of Doggetts son. Reyes explains that the only clue about the killer was a vision of the little boys body turned to ash she experienced, like the vision of Toews charcoal-like corpse.

Review Of "Empedocles"
The XFiles, v. 2.0. by Sarah Stegall. Series The X-Files Episode empedoclesWriter Greg Walker Director Barry K. Thomas Airdate 22 April 2001.
http://www.munchkyn.com/xf-rvws/empedocles.html

Extractions: Airdate: 22 April 2001 "I saw Elvis once in a potato chip." Fox Mulder Being dead has done wonders for Fox Mulder. He's funny, he's feisty, he has that barely-suppressed grin hovering around his mouth, and he's sexy as hell. The guy who was dragging through the seventh season of the X-Files has returned from the void with a spring in his step and fire in his eye. I wish he could stay longer. Our evening begins with a layoff to give any manager nightmares; Mr. Milquetoast gets fired, leaves in shock, witnesses an auto accident that frees some evil being to possess him, and then walks back in to introduce his former boss to a new intrepretation of "termination". The New Orleans PD calls in FBI Agent and top-notch profiler Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) to contribute her expertise in Satanism and pop culture; she immediately diagnoses a severe case of Marilyn Manson and calls up Agent Mulder for help. Unfortunately, Mulder has just taken Scully to the hospital emergency room, and is playing circle-and-hiss games with his opposite number, John Doggett. Reyes refuses to let either of them be distracted, and guides their focus back to the case despite their preoccupation with their pissing contest. No wonder Scully likes her. It's just as well that this particular X-File is not all that fresh. We've already seen the enraged employee scenario, and X-Files involving demonic possession are a glut on the market, but the focus of the episode is not really on the trials of Jeb Dukes, Disgruntled Worker At Large. Viewers will probably be spending more time savoring the heightened dynamics of the meeting between Agent Doggett and Agent Mulder, comparing the approaches of Agent Reyes and Agent Scully, and even dissecting the cross-currents between Doggett/Scully and Mulder/Reyes. All we needed for a compleat X-Files Smack-Down was Skinner versus Kersh.

Extractions: (Check out the full-size version of this picture) Empedocles, wizard of TinyTIM is at your service. Emp is a "Paratwa" (from Christopher Hinz' Liege-Killer series, for those who must know), and so is basically one mind who happens to have two bodies (sorta like most people have two hands). Empedocles' bodies (or "tways") are male and female respectively (Gillian and Catharine, when considered separately) and so Emp's gender depends mostly on state of mind at the time. So sometimes Empedocles is male and sometimes female; but always looks the same and is as friendly as ever. Emp's most famous construction is Empedocles' House of Ill-Repute , the best little whorehouse in TIM, where the customer often comes first. Stop by and pass the time, bring some friends! Being a wizard, Emp is there to help you out; don't hesitate to page if you need help or a few extra pennies. Emp's also responsible for putting together all these WWW pages, so send comments, questions, and offers of eternal servitude straight to the Paratwa-to-blame. Back to TIM home page Play TinyTIM!

Empedocles: Love And Strife By John Sutton
John Sutton back to my home page. empedocles LOVE AND STRIFE A QUEST John SuttonSydney, January 1999. Extract 2 empedocles' death Diogenes' tales.
http://www.phil.mq.edu.au/staff/jsutton/Empedocles.html

Extractions: Through this page you'll find information about this play, along with five short extracts. Love and Strife was originally written for the 1998-99 season of Philosophy Nights at the Steki Taverna, a Greek restaurant in Newtown, Sydney, at which audiences eat, drink, and heckle while watching a loose group of performers and philosophers present reconstructions, dialogues, and other dramatic variations on the history of western and eastern philosophy. Love and Strife has since been performed in Armidale, Medlow Bath, and at the Friend in Hand pub in Glebe. It's a mixed-up medley on the life and thought of the wild shamanic pre-Socratic, Empedocles of Acragas. With Diogenes Laertius, the ancient gossip, as M.C., the audience are taught about immortality, blending, and beans by the strangely reincarnated and unnecessarily grumpy mystagogue. Holderlin, Matthew Arnold, and Freud turn up to share their ecstatic encounters with Empedocles' work; Aristotle and some equally picky modern critics get what they deserve; and Nietzsche, planning a tragic drama about Empedocles' death in Etna, duets on the cosmic cycle. Many thanks to Ed Spence for his work on the Philosophy Nights series, and especially to the various cast members: Chris Burgess, Fiona Jenkins, Doris McIlwain, Dan Smith, and Caroline West. I will put up information and links when I get a chance on the other background material to the text (which improvises on and around fragments and texts written by and about Empedocles), and on the recent discovery of a new Empedocles papyrus fragment.

http://www.phil.mq.edu.au/staff/jsutton/Empedoclesextract3.htm

Extractions: My picture of the basic forces or instincts, which still arouses much opposition among my fellow psychoanalysts, was already familiar to the philosopher Empedocles of Agrigento, that many-sided personality, who rightly substituted chance for finality and necessity for purpose. When we compare the new scientific notion of the death instinct with the writings of Empedocles, we are tempted to maintain that the two theories are identical: the two fundamental principles of Empedocles - Love and Strife - are both in form and in function the same as our two primal instincts, Eros and destructiveness, the first of which attempts to combine what exists into ever greater unities, while the second endeavours to dissolve these combinations and to destroy the structures to which they have given rise. Love and Strife are necessary and indestructible. Each is always present under the dominion of the other, a hint, a canker, seeping back. The opposed instincts work simultaneously: we deal never with pure life instincts or pure death instincts but only with mixtures of them in different amounts. Empedocles' sphere is an absolute zero state of excitation, self-sufficient. Humans retain a phantasmic memory of the initial golden age of the sphere; and Empedocles was the fallen god whose power arises from his knowledge of the unity of what is, of the nature of human beings as mere moments in the continuous play of the elements.
