Hypatia

by Elbert Hubbard

Hypatia is a book written by Elbert Hubbard, which explores the life and legacy of Hypatia of Alexandria. Hypatia was a renowned philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer in the 4th century AD, who was brutally murdered by a mob of Christian zealots. The book delves into the historical context of Hypatia's life, as well as her intellectual contributions and her impact on the world of philosophy and science. It also examines the cultural and religious tensions of the time, particularly between paganism and Christianity, which led to Hypatia's tragic demise. Hubbard's writing is both informative and engaging, providing readers with a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of one of history's most fascinating figures. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, history, or the intersection of religion and science.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE Little Journeys to the Homes of the Teachers, by Elbert Hubbard.

[Michael McGrinder · Rating 1 out of 5]

I read this a long time ago, circa 1970, when I was researching Hypatia for a play I was writing. Information on Hypatia was hard to find in those pre-internet days and there was a great deal of conjecture about her. This was the silliest and poorest written book I read on the subject. Even Hubbard's quote from Hypatia is made up; the woman wrote nothing, certainly nothing that survived.
