The dazzling summit of human achievement represented by Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci lasted less than twenty years….
In this room in the castle of Wรผrzburg are the carvings of Tilman Riemenschneider, one –perhaps the best- of many of German carvers in the late Gothic style. The Church was rich in fifteenth-century Germany….and so from Bergen right down to Bavaria, sculptors were kept busy doing huge, elaborate shrines and altars and monuments like the famous group of St George in the old church at Stockholm: a supreme example of the late Gothic craftsman deploying his fancy and his almost irritating skill of hand.
The Riemenschneider figures show very clearly the character of northern man at the end of the fifteentn century. First of all, a serious personal piety- a quality quite different from the bland conventional piety that one finds, say, in Perugino. And then a serious approach to life itself. These men (although of course they were unswerving Catholics) were not to be fobbed off by forms and ceremonies-what at the time were, rather misleadingly, called 'works'. They believed that there was such a thing as truth, and they wanted to get at it. What they heard from Papal legates, who did a lot of travelling in Germany at this time, did not convince them that there was the same desire for truth in Rome, and they had a rough, rawboned peasant tenacity of purpose…These grave northern men wanted something more
substantial.

George Gabriel Stokes
1819 - 1903
Stokes established the science of hydrodynamics with his law of viscosity describing the velocity of a small sphere through a viscous fluid.
Sir George Gabriel Stokes, 1st Baronet FRS (
13 August 1819–
1 February 1903), was a
mathematician and
physicist, who at
Cambridge made important contributions to
fluid dynamics (including the
Navier–Stokes equations),
optics, and
mathematical physics (including
Stokes' theorem). He was secretary, then president, of the
Royal Society.
Este es el examen que G.G. Stokes le hizo a James Clerk Maxwell:
Smith’s Prize Exam was taken by James Clerk Maxwell at Cambridge.
The Daffodils
by William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)
I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee:—
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company!
I gazed, and gazed, but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Axiology
Axiology (from
Greek แผฮพฮนแพฑ,
axiฤ, "value, worth"; and
-ฮปฮฟฮณฮฏฮฑ,
-logia) is the study of quality or
value. It is often taken to include
ethics and
aesthetics[1] — philosophical fields that depend crucially on notions of value — and sometimes it is held to lay the groundwork for these fields, and thus to be similar to
value theory and
meta-ethics. The term was first used in the early 20th century by Paul Lapie and E. Von Hartmann.
[2]
One area in which research continues to be pursued is so-called
formal axiology, or the attempt to lay out principles regarding value with
mathematical rigor.
The term is also used sometimes for
economic value.
