Thread

The 7 liberals arts were teach from Antiquity to Medieval Times.

They are divided in 2 subcategory

- The Trivium = "The place where three roads meet"
- The Quadrivium= 4

Trivium = Grammar, Dialectic and Rhetoric

Quadrivium = Arithmetic, Geometry, Music and Astronomy

Gram loquitur
Dia vera doce
Rhet verba colorat

Grammar speaks
Dialectic teaches truth
Rhetoric adorns words

Mus canit
Ar numerat
Ge ponderat
Asti colit astra.

Music sings
arithmetic counts
geometry measures
astronomy studies stars.

Grammar teaches the mechanics of language to the student.

Dialectic is the mechanics of thought and of analysis

Rhetoric is the application of language in order to instruct and to persuade the listener and the reader

Together, they will improve your "Art of thinking"

The Quadrivium is the art of using numbers.

To summarize

Arithmetic : The numbers
Geometry : The numbers in space
Music : The numbers in time
Astronomy : The numbers in space and time

I'm quite bad with numbers but i believe critical thinking is mandatory in this world to survive.

And if i introduced this topic, it's because i'm going to start to share some philophy content once a week.

We will challenge our thinking and share on various subject.

I'm still searching myself, i'm far from figuring everything out, but studying philosophy helped me to improve my life and overcome difficulty.

The goal is not to convince you.

The goal is just to share with you and grow together.

So let's meet again in few days
