Number: The Secret to the Mystery of the One and the Many A Philosophic Perspective

Number: The Secret to the Mystery of the One and the Many A Philosophic Perspective - Labor Day weekend: Thursday evening August 28 through lunch on Monday, September 1. The focus of this workshop is the deeper metaphysical meaning of number including levels of number and how individual numbers represent different ways of organizing our understanding. The morning sessions will look in depth at Anthony Damiani's text on Number in Astronoesis.
The program will begin on Thursday evening with Herbert Shapiro on Number and Plotinus. This discussion will go to the heart of number as an ordering principle.
Friday evening Cindy Stillman will do a presentation on The Hidden Treasures of Pythagoras. Cindy will cover Pythagoras' incredible life, his remarkable students, his profound philosophy and his penetrating insights into the importance of number.
On Saturday David Henderson will present Images of Infinity in Mathematics. This talk will include various guided experiences of infinity and will discuss the (failed) attempts of mathematics to define the number (cardinality) of all infinities. We will include an
experience of geometric duality, which relates the Infinite that surrounds us as we look out from our isolated point of view to the Infinite within us that we search for inwardly.
Avery Solomon has entitled his Sunday talk "Magical Mystery Tour of Number" and explains, "We'll explore a qualitative view of numbers, then meet a few numbers which help us see and listen to our world differently. Brahman is Ineffable, Maya is Inscrutable, Number is Intelligible."
All are welcome to any part of this event. For more details see page 3 of this newsletter
