The Academy through Epicurean eyes: some lives of academic philosophers in Philodemus’ Syntaxis
Get PDFThe writing of school histories from a self-consciously ‘late' standpoint is one of the developments that David Sedley has identified as marking the ‘end of the history of philosophy' in the first century BC. Within this context, Philodemus' History of the Academy (part of his Syntaxis of the Philosophers) takes stock of the Academy under the assumption that by his time it has more or less run its course. This paper will take account of this approach by Philodemus in order to offer an interpretation of what he, as an Epicurean, has to say about the internal workings of the Academy (succession of scholarchs, conduct of debates, circulation of books), as well as about its relations with the ‘outside world' (political involvement of Academics, links with centres of power, influence outside Athens). Particular attention will be paid to the less-studied sections from Arcesilaus to Clitomachus. (Myrto Hatzimichali, University of Cambridge
From Polemo and Crates to Arcesilaus:revolution or natural transition?
Get PDFFirst I argue that Arcesilaus was a natural choice as scholarch. If Crates had intended to groom Socratides for this role, he had too short a time. However, Arcesilaus was already one of four principal Academics when Crantor was alive, in some sense inheriting the role of Crantor (perhaps ‘possessor of the books'); The scholarchs themselves engaged less with Platonic literature than expected. Arcesilaus as scholarch did not directly promote Platonic doctrine or writings, but that was not the scholarch's role. Second I want to argue that the Academy of Polemon was already Socratic in two respects, in concentrating upon ethics and in adopting some kind of ideal of Socratic love. I think it is clear that the Alcibiades I, assuming it was not a product of Polemon's (and Crantor's) Academy, was at least an important influence at that time.

Optimization of the storage capacity of slow light photonic crystal waveguides
Get PDFThe storage capacity of slow light photonic crystal waveguides is maximized using a systematic procedure based on the optimization of various parameters of the structure. Both optical loss and dispersion-induced broadening are incorporated into the model. The results indicate that this procedure can provide up to a threefold increase in storage capacity
Pirates, Firemen and Ninjas: enhancing a location aware travel training tool
Get PDFAccording to our findings, combining RouteMate location based platform with game based learning elements and gamified motivational route scenarios was a success since the majority of the piloting sites were confident enough to integrate it in their piloting sessions, while users regardless of the different range in age, abilities and culture, were more than keen to immerse themselves in the gaming scenario.
All piloting sites were willing to use educational locative games for their users in the near future, while the integrated game with photographs blended successful with the game scenarios and mini games that supported the session. From these initial findings, it is proposed that a blending of digital with non digital locative games is beneficial for users with disabilities trying to learn a new route. However, further research and development of Routemate with integrated gaming scenarios is on our forthcoming plans in order to enhance a location aware travel training tool as a framework of motivational and independent route learning for users with a different range of disabilities
