No this isn't a peace image.
I've been recently uploading images and writing about philosophy recently. I expect this shot to be confusing without any real explanation, but I'm going to give one.
Notice my fingers, the chairs on the patio and the tops of the pillars on the deck. They all are two. But which one is two? My fingers, the posts or the chairs? This is impossible to answer. But rather the only way to answer this is to say they "make up" two, or more simply they represent two or partake in two-hood. So in this photo you are witnessing the particularity of two manifested in objects, but also, and more abstract, the form of two. This is Plato's conceptualizing of what is known as early Metaphysics, which dealt with forms only, and in relation to mathmatics. These themes are present in a few of his dialogues and are believed to be of his own, and not of Socrates.
So two-hood is a form, that exists eternally---this is the concept of the eternity of numbers, and is extremely, if not impossible, to deny. This is a major, mathmatical step away from Plato's predecessors the Pythagoreans.
Another thing Plato started to do (which showed up in his dialogues, so it's hard to define if this is Plato or infact Socrates) is he started formalizing virtue, by saying "The Beautiful" and "The Good". This coincides perfectly with his mathmatical forms and can easily lead from these. Plato was all about seeing how everything connected with something greater (or as the analogy I use, like looking eye level at a table and seeing streaks stretch off into something on the edge). This is what Plato's philosophy was about, the knowledge of some greater concept of existence, which everything revolved around--everything we see is but a reflection in a mirror of that which is Known. I could go on and on about this, but that's for a book and not for a Flickr image.
But, I will leave with this, just because Aristotle came along and said that Plato's inquiries aren't needed doesn't mean they aren't. Aristotle was looking into the nature of reality as we see it, being the first biologian and writing the book Metaphysics Aristotle was the only one to do this. But Plato's inquiries can be tied into something separate, which transcendentalizes what Aristotle was inquiring into, but is what a reality that Aristotle argued for in his Metaphysics, so in a way, both Plato and Aristotle's philosophies are needed.

I could spend hours looking around a library... without opening a book. The great craftsmanship of older books astonish me... some of them are in my oppinion pieces of art.

Calvin College Mega Menger -- Calvin College was selected as one of twenty sites worldwide to host a Mega Menger build, with sessions from Oct. 17-28, 2014. At each site, a model of a mathematical fractal called a Menger Sponge will be constructed from nearly 70,000 business cards. The resulting sculpture weighs approximately 170 pounds and stands 4.5 feet tall, 4.5 feet wide and 4.5 feet deep. To find out more about the worldwide Mega Menger event and see updates from sites around the world, visit megamenger.com.
