"That particulary arises with respect to the debate on free will, and how the quadratic.... Explanation: ....fluctuation ignites it." entfahren can mean invoke, incite, or figuratively, ignite. without more of the context, my attempt to translate "quad. Bewegung" may be off. Thus I would compare how those two word in particular are translated by other, but I stand confident on the rest. |

Pythagorean philosophy Explanation: Having no idea of the context, I am to some extent guessing here. But, Pythagoras did square the triangle in the Pythagorean theorem, effectively the first quadratic equation, and he and his disciples did start an important mystical religious sect in pre-socratic Greece. |

quadratic equation movement? Explanation: I am not at all certain about this, but here's something that might apply to your puzzle. I was unable to find any philosophical movement directly related to free will. Anything related to quadratic or qadratic was related to mathematics. "The point is simple enough: Economics is a dismal science precisely because it claims to be a science. It turns human effort into a quadratic equation. Yet it was not always this way. Adam Smith, first of the moderns in economic thinking, would have deplored the mathematical aridities of his neo?liberal disciples, who, like Oscar Wilde's cynic, seem to know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Smith was a moral philosopher before he was an economist. For him, the wealth of nations was not to be measured simply in money but in all of those social excellences that promote human flourishing: neighborliness, community, family, self?reliance, provision for the future. Economic activity removed from moral understanding was inconceivable to him. After all, buying and selling presumes some measure of trust between individuals, a disposition towards honorable mutual advantage. He would have found it strange that someone might write a book called A Humane Economy as if there could be any other kind. If Smith's moral theory is in some ways flawed—there is more psychology than philosophy in it—at least he recognized that economics does not stand alone but forms part of a broader understanding of the human person. Some of his followers disagree, generally with baneful results. The declension of economics into calculation and calibration remains the besetting weakness of the subject. Art should not ape science; morality should not mimic mechanics." Reference: http://www.isibooks.org/books/262/262intro.html |

Sie haben "qadratische Bewegung" geschrieben, ohne das U Explanation: this makes a proper definition without context more difficult - however, German does not recognize q withhout u (as far as i know) bot English knows several words, without u following q: i.e. expressions borrowed from Arab. There is a "quadrat" as piece of metal for filling spaces (= same in German), but nothing like this in Western philosophy/religion that i know off. Can your text have to do with arabic/islamic expressions |

peer agreement (net): +3Quadratus movement Explanation: Qauadratus is considered the oldest Christian apologet. According to Eusebius, both Quadratus and Aristides presented Christian apologies to the Emperor Hadrian at Athens, probably in 124 C.E. Aristides was unknown to scholars for many years, though his work survived in at least two 4th-century papyri (POxy. 15: 1778) http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/aristides.html. |
