Il simbolo dell'infinito Non aver cominciato prima. Questo è stato forse il rimpianto di John Wallis , il più grande matematico britannico prima di Isaac Newton , al momento di morire l’ 8 novembre 1703 . Forse l’uomo al quale dobbiamo l’otto rovesciato ( lemniscata ) come simbolo del concetto di infinito pensava che se avesse coltivato la scienza dei numeri sin da bambino avrebbe potuto ottenere risultati migliori. Affascinato da quell’insieme di simboli e numeri, John studiò per tutta la notte insieme al fratello, fino a riuscire a padroneggiarne il contenuto come se non si fosse mai dedicato ad altro. Durante quegli otto anni, John aveva studiato la matematica solo nel suo tempo libero, dedicandoci ore sottratte al riposo o allo svago. Proprio in questo periodo londinese, precisamente nel 1647, Wallis riuscì a mettere la mani sul Clavis Mathematicae di William Oughtred : il più importante testo di matematica presente in Inghilterra a quel tempo, conosciuto anche come la chiave della matematica .

The Fine Art of Italian Hand Gestures: A Vintage Visual Dictionary by Bruno Munari by Maria Popova A pocket guide to Neapolitan nonverbal communication. Somewhere between his seminal manifestos on design as art and his timelessly delightful children’s books, legendary Italian artist and graphic designer Bruno Munari made time for a number of idiosyncratic side projects. Among them is Speak Italian: The Fine Art of the Gesture (UK; public library) — a charming, quirky, minimalist guide to Italians’ expressive nonverbal communication originally published in 1958 as a supplement to the Italian dictionary, inspired by The Ancients’ Mimic Through the Neapolitan Gestures, the first collection of gestures made by Canon Andrea de Jorio in 1832. In the short preface, Munari notes the globalization of nonverbal vernacular, as Neapolitan gestures begin being recognized worldwide and American imports like “OK” permeate Italian culture, then promises: Another illustrated page of the book of Canon Andrea de Jorio. Gestures of drinking and eating (from an old Neapolitan print)

Text Symbols (and special characters) The symbol of the Swastika and its 12,000-year-old history The swastika is a symbol used by of one of the most hated men on Earth, a symbol that represents the slaughter of millions of people and one of the most destructive wars on Earth. But Adolf Hitler was not the first to use this symbol. In fact, it was used as a powerful symbol thousands of years before him, across many cultures and continents. For the Hindus and Buddhists in India and other Asian countries, the swastika was an important symbol for many thousands of years and, to this day, the symbol can still be seen in abundance - on temples, buses, taxis, and on the cover of books.

The Book of Symbols: Carl Jung’s Catalog of the Unconscious by Kirstin Butler Why Sarah Palin identifies with the grizzly bear, or what the unconscious knows but doesn’t reveal. A primary method for making sense of the world is by interpreting its symbols. We decode meaning through images and, often without realizing, are swayed by the power of their attendant associations. A central proponent of this theory, iconic Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Gustaf Jung, made an academic case for it in the now-classic Man and His Symbols, and a much more personal case in The Red Book. Beginning in the 1930s, Jung’s devotees started collecting mythological, ritualistic, and symbolic imagery under the auspices of The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS), an organization with institutes throughout the U.S. You can browse through ARAS via a list of common archetypes, or search by word, producing a cross-indexed result with thumbnail images and a timeline of where and when that idea appeared throughout history.

Archetypes are found everywhere, as their symbols are a language of the mind, taken to different frequencies of thought and connected to each other by the collective unconsciousness. The term Archetype began with Carl Jung. Master or Universal archetypes are created by the patterns of Sacred Geometry.
