Hi, thanks for the information in this podcast, especially the Africana philosophy section. I think the closest I have come to discussing that is when I talked about Kabbalah, it may come up again soon since we are going to talk about Renaissance magic. I do discuss this in more general terms in episode 317.ĥ. Actually I didn't know about that scribal technique among Jewish scholars, that is interesting! That makes sense because also pagan literature in Greek etc was written in blocks of text in antiquity. Yes when I get to the Reformation series, coming right after Italian Renaissance, I expect to have a whole episode about printing.Ĥ.

But with my broad approach, it would have made sense to cover it, maybe I should have done that early in the Islamic world series as background.ģ. Of course one could argue this would be more urgent for a history of religion than a history of philosophy. True, I didn't really do much with Persian culture prior to the coming of Islam and ideally I should have found somewhere to talk about Zoroastrianism. See the link "FAQ" below for more information on this.Ģ.
Yes, I already have a co-author lined up. Thanks for the questions! I'll just take them in turn:ġ. Were there any philosophers who used numerical equivalence of words as a basis for theories? Also, you've mentioned philology a few times, but rarely numerology. I've seen articles that extol the method but i've never heard of it being used for any other work.ĥ. Will you be refering to the technique devised by jewish scribes for copying Torahs? I mean the one where each page is regarded as a fixed matrix of letters and the copyist can get a quick accuracy check by counting the letters in each row and column. You spoke of the process of copying and the problem of errors. Will you be doing anything on the effect of printing before Gutenberg? I've often wondered why wood block printers never bothered to do whole pages of classic works that were in high demand, or failing that, simple texts for beginning readers.Ĥ. What about Persia? You've barely mentioned the zoroastrians at all, let alone the mazdaists before Zoroaster.ģ.
You could call the episode "Not Minding Your Ps and Qs".Ģ.

Will you be doing a series on China? I'm intrigued especially about the mohists, who apparently did propositional logic using full sentences.
