INITIAL ALUMNI :<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FLDST I<\/span><\/p>\n

James Lee Byars<\/strong> (\u00b010 april 1932 \u2013 23 may 1997)<\/p>\n

When Byars was 37 years old\u2014then half an average lifespan\u2014he wrote his \u201c1\/2 autobiography.\u201d Sitting in a gallery, he jotted down thoughts and questions every time a visitor approached him, and published them afterwards in a book he also titled The Big Sample of Byars. Obsessed by the idea of perfection, Byars produced a remarkable body of work that strove to give form to his search for beauty and truth. Pursuing what he called \u201cthe first totally interrogative philosophy,\u201d he made and proposed art at scales ranging from the vastness of outer space to the microscopic level of subatomic particles, in an attempt to delineate the limits of our knowledge while enacting a desire for something more \/ Founded and organized \u201cthe World Question Center\u201d.<\/p>\n

Pythagoras of Samos<\/strong> (\u00b0c. 570 \u2013 c. 495 BC)<\/p>\n

Pythagoras and his followers were important for their contributions to both religion and science. His religious teachings were based on the doctrine of metempsychosis, which teaches that the soul never dies and is destined to a cycle of rebirths until it is able to free itself from the cycle through the purity of its life. Pythagoreanism differed from the other philosophical systems of its time in being not merely an intellectual search for truth but a whole way of life which would lead to salvation, or to be delivered from sin.<\/p>\n

An important part of Pythagoreanism was the relationship of all life. A universal life spirit was thought to be present in animal and vegetable life, although there is no evidence to show that Pythagoras believed that the soul could be born in the form of a plant.<\/p>\n

The Pythagoreans presented as fact the dualism (that life is controlled by opposite forces) between Limited and Unlimited. It was probably Pythagoras who declared that numbers could uncover the secrets of the universe, limiting and giving shape to matter (anything that takes up space). His study of musical intervals, leading to the discovery that the chief intervals can be expressed in numerical ratios (relationships between numbers) between the first four integers (positive whole numbers), also led to the theory that the number ten, the sum of the first four integers, embraced the whole nature of number.<\/p>\n
