"Nothing we design or make ever really works. We can always say what [more] it ought to do, but that it never does. The aircraft falls out of the sky or rams the earth full tilt and kills the people. It has to be tended like a new born babe. . . Our dinner table ought to be variable in size and height, removable altogether, impervious to scratches, self-cleaning, and having no legs. . . Never do we achieve a satisfactory performance. " – Petroski, Henry The Evolution of Useful Things, Vintage Books, 1994, pp. 25.

The belief that the universe possesses and is governed according to a comprehensive regulating intelligence, and that this same intelligence is reflected in the human mind, rendering it capable of knowing the cosmic order, was one of the most characteristic and recurring principles in the central tradition of Hellenic thought. — Tarnas, The Passion of the Western Mind, p 47.

"I cannot but greatly wonder at those who think that we must attend to none but the Greeks as to the most ancient facts, and learn the truth from them only, and that we are not to believe ourselves or other men. . . Indeed they admit themselves that it is the Egyptians, the Chaldeans and the Phoenicians (for I will not now include ourselves [Jews] among those) that have preserved the memory of the most ancient and lasting tradition.

"The essence (or 'form, ' as he [Aristotle] called it, borrowing Plato's term. . . ) is the thing's 'whatness, ' and its materiality is its 'thisness. ' That is, an oak tree's 'whatness, ' its 'essence' or 'form, ' is the combination of characteristics that make it an oak tree rather than, say, a pussy cat; and its 'thisness' is its individuality – what distinguishes this oak tree from all other oak trees.

“Aristotle’s universe was composed of a plurality of real beings that fell into an orderly hierarchy of perfection. Prime matter and substantial form were the principles of every physical body. The simplest bodies occurring in nature were the four elements, earth, air, fire and water. These combined to produce the various types of inanimate objects. Living things were more complex bodies which were united by a higher type of substantial form, called soul. Aristotle distinguished three types of souls, vegetative, sensitive, and rational, corresponding to the degrees of perfection found in plants, animals, and human beings. ” — Langford in Galileo, Science and the Church

Socrates taught: Happiness is the consequence not of physical or external circumstances, of wealth or power or reputation, but of living a life that is good for the soul. Yet to live a genuinely good life, one must know what is the nature and essence of the good. — Richard Tarnas in The Passion of the Western Mind

"The works of Homer had embodied the aristocratic values that Plato wished to support, but Homer had offered no defense of those values except an appeal to the emotions through his poetic discourse. If Plato was to defend values rationally, he had to replace the power of poetry (as manifested in Greek myth and drama) with that of philosophy, the spokeswoman for reason.

From the Pythagorean perspective, the fundamentals of existence are the archetypal Forms or Ideas, which constitute the intangible substrate of all that is tangible. The true structure of the world is revealed not by the senses, but by the intellect, which in its highest state has direct access to the Ideas governing reality. All knowledge presupposes the abstraction or imaginary metaphor for the concrete world, is here considered to be the very basis of reality, that which determines its order and renders it knowable. To this end, Pythagoras and later Plato declared direct experience of the transcendent Ideas to be the philosopher’s primary goal and ultimate destination. —Tarnas, The Passion of the Western Mind, p 12.

"[For Plato] the Creation of the cosmos was the process by which the eternal mathematical principles were given material embodiment, imposing an order on the formless raw materials of the world, and setting them working according to ideal specifications. . . When a mathematician worked out the geometrical relations manifested in the motions of the planets, or the properties of material substances, he was likewise revealing the Craftsman's rational design. “ – Toulmin, Stephen and June Goodfield, The Discovery of Time, The University of Chicago Press, 1965, p. 42 -43.

"Aristotle believed that the world we are born into is the real world and is not just a shadow of a more ultimate world. He brought Plato's philosophy down to earth by claiming that the Forms must be 'imbedded in matter. ' He believed that the distinction between Form and matter was only an intellectual distinction, a distinction that could be drawn in theory but not in reality.
