Atriums, ventricles, semilunar valves, bicuspid, tricuspid, and aortas, are all part of every human's cardiovascular system. And there's something else in common: William Harvey. During the Renaissance period in Europe (14th to 17th Century A.D.), scientists became renowned for their vast amounts of research found in the medical fields and beyond. Scientists such as Hieronymus Fabricius, Henry Gray, Leonardo da Vinci, Gabriello Fallopio, Ambroise Pare, Auroleus, Phillipus, Theostratus Bombastus von Hohenheim, Bartolomeo Eustachi, Gasparo Aselli, Achillini, and William Harvey himself, made great strides in medical knowledge. In Harvey's famous book Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus, translated as "On the Movement of Heart and Blood in Animals" and published in 1628, explained how blood was pumped from the heart throughout the body. The views this book expressed were very controversial and lost Harvey many patients, but it became the basis for all modern research on the heart and blood vessels.

Many other works famous in this day and age were controversial during the Renaissance too. Galileo was claimed a heretic for claiming the the physics of Earth. Even the idea of the Earth being round was ludicrous to people during the Renaissance! Hohenheim himself made enemies due to disagreements in their teachings. He believed that knowledge could only be found through experience and self-discovery. Although he had to run for his life due to these disagreements, Hohenheim later became known as the "Luther of Medicine," referring to Martin Luther who reformed the Catholic church in Germany. Some of Hohenheim's achievements were developing medications, treatments containing natural ingredients, treatment of syphilis through mercury, and many others.

Still, other people were praised for their work from their contemporaries. One of these famous men were Henry Gray (1827 - 1861). Gray was praised for his book Anatomy of the Human Body, more commonly referred to as "Gray's Anatomy." This renowned work was a 2092 pages of descriptive and surgical anatomical information (based on 38th edition) and was considered the "ultimate reference" and the Bible of Anatomy. Works like his became great foundations for modern medical and surgical information. We all must give thanks to these great men from a couple of hundred years ago. =]

Sorry, it's pretty poopy. Gotta go to Campus Meeting now!

Is Shakespeare more "Jus Naturae" or Humanist?

2005-07-19T14:08:00.000-07:00

The world is all about sex, who to do it with, how to do it, and how good it was. Even one of the great playwrights Shakespeare revolves his tragedy Antony and Cleopatra around the act of "rockin' the casbah." Everyone, mostly Antony and Cleopatra, are obsessed with finding a great "horse-back ride." Shakespeare gives all his characters this obsessive attribute most likely because he is commenting on the shared primitive characteristics in humankind. This view of natural law dominates the first two acts of the play.

Expanding on Shakespeare's comment of shared primitive characteristics in humankind, Cleopatra is a prime example. She is overly obsessed with keeping Antony at her palace, and finding constant pleasure in bed with him. Her primitive characteristic of lust is often seen throughout her palace. Cleopatra's own eunich servant is revealed of always peeking in while she is in the act of intercourse with another man, such as Caesar or Antony. He is shown with the desire of wanting to be that man himself, madly in love with his own master.

Another "jus naturae" viewpoint Shakespeare establishes in Antony and Cleopatra is that love is natural and irresistable. Many of the characters found in the play view the act of watching their master in the act of intercourse as a natural notion. It is seen that love is a common thing people share in the play. Cleopatra is taken over by emotions of love and is conquered by this irresistable feeling. She falls madly in love with Antony and any slight prediction of ending this lustful relationship damages her mentally. Shakespeare shows her being irrational when Antony was to leave Egypt to visit his wife for a little while and coming back shortly. Cleopatra is also shown sending messengers to see if Antony wants to see her, and if he does, Cleopatra would claim she is sick, but if he doesn't, she tries to make herself more irresistable.

All in all, Shakespeare has a strong "jus naturae" viewpoint in the first two of Antony and Cleopatra. This viewpoint is supported with him creating each character with qualities of natural law, such as shared primitive characteristics and love as a natural and irresistable emotion. Most whores and hookers also share this viewpoint in our modern world society.

Rough Rough Draft

Everytime my sister and mother talk about their "special monthly visitor," my hands find themselves over my ears unconsciously and start twitching, foaming, or singing some random oddity like, "There ain't no mountain high enough, Ain't no valley low enough, Ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from listening to you.. ohhhh." Sometimes I'm not sure they're still aware that there are guys in a 3-mile radius when they start reiterating their horrendous memories of, "I was cooking Kenney's lunch and Aunt Flo came unexpectedly. It got kind of messy... I didn't even have enough time to clean before Kenney came downstairs and grabbed his lunch and headed to school..." And my mom still wonders why I rather spend $2.50 on week-old cafeteria food then eat another one of her mysterious-sauce chicken sandwiches again.
