The Quadrivium is philosophy and it's Catholic Philosophy in the truest sense. Passionate champion of Platonic metaphysics with alternate takes on history.

*Plato's vision is amazingly close to the ideas of modern particle theory. This fact, which is unfortunately little known, has been pointed out repeatedly by Werner Heisenberg.". - Dr. Ruprecht Machleidt.
"I found John Spencer's 'The Eternal Law' to be enormously refreshing; for here we have someone willing to speak out forcefully in favour of the Platonic ideals lying at the roots of modern science.". - Roger Penrose.

100 years before Galileo was condemned in 1633, Pope Clement VII was an enthusiastic supporter of Heliocentrism. 125 years after 1633, the general ban against Heliocentrism was removed by Pope Benedict XIV. Yet many Catholics wish to remain stuck in the Aristotelian aberration.
"Galileo's most significant mistake was presenting the argument of Plato and the mathematics of Copernicus, both of which the Church opposed through the philosophy of Aristotle. By opposing Aristotle, he became a heretic of the Church.". - Philip Paul Wiener.

"The view that the heavenly bodies are eternal and incorruptible had to be abandoned. Nothing in the visible world is exempt from change and decay; the Aristotelian belief. is a product of the pagan worship of sun and moon and planets.". - Bertrand Russell

Dreams are important as they are a "sensible" projection of the individual mind. A subjective cosmos. The mind can create a 3D immersive, "visible" reality apart from any physical senses. Just as our collective reality is a projection of the Divine Mind.
“What do dreams mean?” is a question of secondary importance, and is a stepping stone to the question “what does sleep mean?”.

We'd be in a far better world had the Aristotelian fanatics been properly put in their place once and for all. "The chief founders of modern science: Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton-were directly or indirectly influenced by Platonism.". - John Spencer.

An unfortunate casualty of the plot to assassinate Cardinal Giulio di Medici (the future Pope Clement VII) by his adversary Cardinal Francesco Soderini, was the dissolution of the Florentine Platonic Academy in 1522.
The Platonist Clement VII personally approved Copernicus' heliocentrism in 1533. When Johann Widmanstetter explained Copernican astronomy to him "he was so grateful that he gave Widmanstetter a valuable gift.". Reject that asinine Catholic historical revisionism.

"Calculus is really just kind of a manifestation of Plato's philosophy. calculus is one of the easier ways to do this because it's so central to Plato's project."

"Leo X was steeped in Plato."
The Medicis founded the Florentine Platonic Academy in 1462. The Medicis gave us Popes Leo X and Clement VII, two great patrons of Renaissance art. Leo X was much an anti-Aristotelian and demonstrated so at Lateran V. However he had to cloak this due to the fervor or the times.

2+5+2+0 = 9.5+0+4+0 = 9. Plato's Elements .7+2+0 = 9.1+4+4+0 = 9.2+1+6+0 = 9.3+6+0+0= 9.6+4+8+0 = 18. 1+8 = 9.

I'll stick to Catholic philosophy and faith. "To consign a heretic to death is to commit an offense beyond atonement. God forbids their execution, even as He forbids us to uproot cockle.". - St. John Chrysostom.
Ignorance abounds. Ecclesial trials allowed torture as a legitimate tool to interrogate people thanks to Ad extirpanda ("To eradicate") promulgated in 1252 by Pope Innocent IV. The Dominicans were put in charge, even though objectively, they were notorious heretics themselves. 🤔.

The Spanish Inquisition was probably one of the better legal systems of its day.

Correct.
Almost all ancient the Greek texts were preserved and transferred to the West by the eastern Romans. When we look at our classical libraries we are in fact looking at an east Roman classical library!. [Thread]🧵
