Hypatia

Hypatia is a biographical work written by Elbert Hubbard that tells the story of the life and death of Hypatia, a female mathematician and philosopher who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, during the 4th and 5th centuries AD. The book explores her upbringing, education, and her contributions to the fields of mathematics and philosophy. It also delves into the political and religious tensions of the time, which ultimately led to her tragic demise. Hubbard presents Hypatia as a symbol of intellectual freedom and individuality, and her story serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of fanaticism and intolerance. The book is written in a poetic and philosophical style, with Hubbard drawing on his own beliefs and values to offer a unique perspective on Hypatia's life and legacy. Overall, Hypatia is a thought-provoking and inspiring work that celebrates the power of knowledge and reason in the face of oppression and ignorance.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great: Teachers, by Elbert Hubbard.
