In this paper, I will compare Plato’s Phaedrus 245c–e with Aristotle’s Physics VIII 5. In the Phaedrus passage, Plato describes the soul as that which moves by itself and therefore is always moving (and hence is immortal), and as the principle of movement for all moving things. In the Physics chapter, Aristotle assigns the pre-eminent role to that which, among moving things, moves by itself, and makes the case for the existence of something that moves while remaining unmoved. This Aristotle regards as the prime mover of all moving things, including self-moving ones. [introduction] |

In this essay, I am going to argue that the Greek geometer of the late fifth century B.C. Hippocrates of Chios1 was the first who systematically employed a method of indirect proof called apagoge (reduction). Apagoge is probably the early stage of the geometrical method of analysis and synthesis, and consists roughly in reducing one problem (or theorem) to another. Reductions can be continued until we arrive at something already known, or at something that is possible to be solved directly. Finally, I shall support the view that «the method of geometers» to which Plato refers in the Meno is the geometrical method of apagoge. [introduction, p. 21] |
