Risen

The Lord Jesus
Is risen
By His measures
And decision

He has risen
Resurrected and free
All those imprisoned
In Him be set free

No longer
Are we in slavery
No longer
Is there a boundary

We who believe
Are all forgiven
And we shall receive
A place in heaven

2018-02-02 12:01:46 Martin Heidegger, a twentieth-century German philosopher, stresses the importance of Anaximander’s insight that distinguishes being at the origin and all beings that came into existence. According to Anaximander, being at the origin has no beginning and end, and all other beings exist only in time. Beings in time are destined to perish and the cosmos is governed by the principle of balance.

Friedrich Nietzsche read bleak tones into this passage and interpreted Anaximander as a pessimist. Open / Comment

2018-02-02 12:00:35 Anaximander distinguished “indefinite,” the ultimate being, and all other existing beings. The “indefinite” exists for eternity; thus, it is divine and does not perish. All other beings have a beginning and an end to their existence. They come into existence from the origin and will return to their origin and non-existence. Open / Comment

2018-02-02 11:58:47 Today only a small portion of Anaximander’s work survives and much of what is known about his work and life is based on reconstructions and summaries by later Greek writers and philosophers. For example in the 1st or 2nd century C.E. Aetius became compiling… Open / Comment

2018-02-02 11:45:13 In addition to his belief in apeiron, Anaximander also believed in evolution for the development of the Earth’s living things. The world’s first creatures were said to have come from evaporation and humans came from another type of animal.

Although his work was later revised by other philosophers and scientists to be more accurate, Anaximander’s writings were significant to the development of early geography, cartography, astronomy and other fields because they represented one of the first attempts to explain the world and its structure/organization.

In trying to explain the origin of the world Anaximander developed a theory that everything originated from the apeiron (the indefinite or infinite) instead of from a specific element. He believed that motion and the ape iron were the origin of the world and motion caused opposite thing such as hot and cold or wet and dry land for instance to be separated. He also believed that the world was not eternal and would eventually be destroyed so a new world could begin. Open / Comment

In addition to the structure of the Earth itself Anaximander was also interested in the structure of the cosmos, the origin of the world and evolution. Open / Comment

The final stated for creating the map was that Anaximander wanted to show a global representation of the known world to increase knowledge for himself and his peers. 

Anaximander believed that the inhabited portion of the Earth was flat and it was made up of the top face of a cylinder (Encyclopedia Britannica). He also stated that the Earth’s position was not supported by anything and it simply remained in place because it was equidistant from all other things  Open / Comment
