Figlio di un decurione, Patricio, ancora pagano, e della cristiana Monnica, fu iscritto tra i catecumeni; compì gli studi in patria, a Madaura, poi a Cartagine: periodo da lui descritto come di abbandono alle passioni amorose. Da una concubina ebbe nel 372 un figlio, Adeodato. La lettura dell'Hortensius ciceroniano lo attrasse, diciannovenne, alla filosofia, e aderì presto al manicheismo, presentatogli come spiegazione scientifica dell'universo. Se ne fece anzi propagandista a Tagaste, dopo la morte del padre, e a Cartagine ove ottenne qualche successo come retore, e scrisse il suo primo libro, De pulchro et apto (perduto), in cui pare si sforzasse a dare veste filosofica al manicheismo, nel quale era però rimasto semplice uditore. Passò poi, abbandonando la madre, a Roma; quindi, su raccomandazione di Simmaco, come professore ufficiale di retorica (autunno 384), a Milano, ove maturò la crisi spirituale, in seguito alla quale, dimessa la concubina e rinunciando al matrimonio vantaggioso per cui insisteva Monnica, si decise ad abbracciare il cristianesimo, che gli si palesava, allora, come in pieno e perfetto accordo con la filosofia neoplatonica e la predicazione di s. Ambrogio. A Cassiciacum (probabilmente Cassago, in Brianza), dimessosi dalla cattedra, scrisse le prime opere pervenuteci (i dialoghi Contra academicos, De vita beata, De ordine e Soliloquia) e cominciò a comporre una serie di manuali delle arti liberali; fu battezzato da s. Ambrogio la notte del sabato santo (24-25 aprile) del 387. Trascorse a Roma l'inverno (Monnica morì ad Ostia nel novembre) e tornò a Tagaste, continuando, nella vita monastica, la sua attività di scrittore. Nel 391 fu ordinato sacerdote a Ippona, ove, tra la fine del 395 e il 396, fu consacrato come successore dal vescovo Valerio già prossimo a morte; lo stesso fece poi (426) A. col prete Eraclio. Le reliquie, portate in Sardegna da s. Fulgenzio e altri vescovi esuli nel 486, furono dopo l'invasione saracena trasportate, per opera del re Liutprando, a Pavia ove gli fu eretto il monumento: ma che fossero di lui quelle ritrovate nel 1695 fu contrastato dal Muratori e da altri. Nei 34 anni di episcopato lo tennero occupato, oltre le cure costanti dedicate alla sua chiesa, la copiosa corrispondenza (ci sono giunte 218 lettere di A., oltre i trattatelli in forma epistolare, e 53 dirette a lui), la predicazione (i sermoni conservati e noti finora sono più di 500), i concilî e le eresie e scismi, la lotta contro i quali assorbì grandissima parte dell'attività letteraria, che ha reso A. proverbiale come uno non solo dei più dotti e profondi, ma dei più fecondi scrittori mai esistiti. Appunto le polemiche, insieme con la conversione, l'ordinazione e la consacrazione, contrassegnano, all'ingrosso, anche periodi dello svolgimento del pensiero di lui. Con la conversione comincia la polemica contro i manichei, già accennata nei "Dialoghi di Cassiciaco" e continuata in una serie di scritti per lo più filosofico-religiosi (per es. De quantitate animae, De libero arbitrio, il libro VI De musica, De magistro, De vera religione, De utilitate credendi), in cui vediamo A. passare gradatamente dall'affermazione della superiorità essenziale della ragione sulla fede, a quella dell'utilità e ragionevolezza dell'affidarsi all'auctoritas fondata sulla rivelazione e universalmente riconosciuta, della Chiesa; ed elaborare insieme la sua caratteristica dottrina della conoscenza. La felicità, cui gli uomini aspirano, non si consegue senza il possesso della verità. Contro gli scettici, egli usa l'argomento principe: se dubito, so di dubitare, dunque di essere; se sbaglio, sono (motivo che da taluni storici della filosofia viene indicato tra gli antecedenti del dubbio cartesiano: non sfugge comunque il diverso contesto). Ma la verità va cercata in me stesso: è la dottrina neoplatonica del ritorno su sé stessa dell'anima, che, riconosciuta la mutevolezza del mondo esteriore, percepito dai sensi, e la sua propria, si avvia a ricercare la verità immutabile, per cui è vero ogni ragionamento vero, e che è Dio medesimo. I sensi, dunque, e anche le parole del maestro, non fanno se non ridestare idee, che sono già nell'anima: non però nel senso della dottrina platonica della reminiscenza, ma in quanto in interiore homine habitat veritas, parla cioè, in fondo all'anima, il Maestro interiore, il Verbo divino; nell'uomo (in interiore homine) brilla la luce del vero che dona a ciascuno le rationes aeternae, principio e fondamento di ogni giudizio. È questa la teoria detta dell'illuminazione, che, non del tutto chiarita da A., si presta a varie interpretazioni (secondo che le rationes aeternae si intendano come "idee innate", o come "categorie" del giudizio); essa si collega alla dottrina del "maestro interiore", il Verbo, il solo vero maestro: sicché l'insegnare degli uomini è solo un preparare ad ascoltare la voce del Verbo divino. Queste dottrine furono da A. mantenute anche in opere posteriori ma il primitivo entusiasmo per Platone, Plotino e i "platonici" (che, se fossero vissuti ora, - dice - si sarebbero fatti cristiani) e per i neoplatonici si affievolì col tempo. La polemica antimanichea venne continuata in altri scritti (per es. Contra Adimantum, Contra epistolam Manichaei quam vocant fundamenti) fino al voluminoso Contra Faustum e ad altri opuscoli fino al 405 circa, poi sporadicamente in un paio di opuscoli e, in parte, nel trattatello contro tutte le eresie (De haeresibus, 428-29). L'ordinazione sacerdotale obbliga A. a spiegare al popolo i libri sacri; egli partecipa più intimamente della vita della Chiesa e viene a conoscere lo scisma che tormenta la Chiesa africana. Comincia così la polemica contro il donatismo, con l'interessante Psalmus abecedarius contra partem Donati, primo esempio degli scritti popolareggianti di A. (versi di 16 sillabe, abbandono della prosodia e metrica classica, assonanza in e), poi con una serie di opere (Contra epistolam Parmeniani, De baptismo, Contra litteras Petiliani, Contra Cresconium) fino alla grande "conferenza" di Cartagine (411; Breviculus collationis cum donatistis) quindi, con minor frequenza di scritti, sino al Contra Gaudentium (420 circa). In questa polemica, che lo portò a occuparsi dell'ecclesiologia, A. segue s. Cipriano e s. Ottato mantenendo fermissimo il principio della validità ed efficacia obiettiva (ex opere operato) dei Sacramenti, la cattolicità e l'unità della Chiesa, fuori della quale non v'è salvezza e che è corpus permixtum: ne fanno parte cioè grano e zizzania, buoni e malvagi, che soltanto Gesù Cristo ha diritto di separare nel giorno del Giudizio. Ma mentre all'inizio, e ancora nel 411, A. non voleva ricorrere ad altro mezzo che la persuasione attraverso la discussione, tuttavia, con le leggi di Onorio contro gli scismatici e di fronte alla loro ostinazione, cambiò parere: e come dalla netta distinzione tra scisma ed eresia passò a definire questa quale "scisma inveterato", così ammise la legittimità e necessità della coercizione e del ricorso all'autorità civile, fissando altresì il dovere per il sovrano cristiano di attenersi al magistero della chiesa.Ma con l'ordinazione A. si dedica anche con maggiore intensità allo studio della Bibbia: specialmente del Genesi, passando dall'interpretazione strettamente allegorica (De Genesi adversus Manichaeos, 388-90) a quella letterale, e insieme di valore filosofico (De Genesi ad litteram liber imperfectus), e di s. Paolo (Expositio quarundam propositionum ex Epistola ad Romanos, Epistolae ad Romanos expositio inchoata, Expositio Epistolae ad Galatas, parecchie delle questioni trattate nel De diversis quaestionibus octogintatribus). Cogliamo qui un momento importantissimo nello svolgimento del pensiero teologico di A., e oggetto di molte discussioni. Egli si è sforzato di mantenere in primo luogo la giustizia di Dio, che premia i buoni, cioè coloro che credendo si acquistano un merito, e che punisce i malvagi. Ma, dopo un lungo sforzo, A. viene a riconoscere che il momento iniziale dell'atto di fede, l'initium fidei, che è initium salutis, non è opera dell'uomo ma viene da Dio: al quale non si può tuttavia rimproverare alcuna ingiustizia, se, gratuitamente, fa grazia ad alcuni; mentre gli uomini tutti, in cui sopravvive il peccato originale, non meritano se non la condanna. Questi concetti appaiono per la prima volta con tutta chiarezza, nel primo scritto posteriore all'episcopato di A., il De diversis quaestionibus ad Simplicianum. Frutto di questa conquista del suo pensiero, che lo induce a rimeditare sulla sua vita, si possono considerare le Confessioni (398 circa), nelle quali, altresì, sono ripresi altri due temi che lo appassionano: quello della cultura cristiana e quello dei principî che presiedono all'interpretazione della Scrittura. La prima questione è da lui affrontata sotto l'aspetto teorico nel De doctrina christiana (interrotto, ma ripreso e terminato nel 426): come anche nelle Confessioni A. è sensibile ai pericoli della cultura tradizionale, pagana, ma vuole salvarne il buono, che va assunto e fatto proprio dal cristianesimo. Così, conchiudendo una lunga controversia, A. assicura col peso della sua autorità la trasmissione della cultura antica. Ma nelle Confessioni il problema della memoria (in essa è la misura del tempo) trascina seco quello della creazione. A. la ritiene avvenuta nel tempo, anzi col tempo, dal nulla, e per tutte le cose simultaneamente, ma non allo stesso modo: ché alcune furono create da Dio non in atto e nella loro forma perfetta, ma solo in potenza, o in germe (rationes seminales, energie latenti destinate a svilupparsi nel tempo e a produrre, al momento opportuno per ciascuno, i diversi esseri). A queste conclusioni A. è portato da un nuovo studio dei primi 3 capitoli del Genesi (De Genesi ad litteram libri XII, tra il 401 circa e il 415 circa). Accanto al quale, tra le opere esegetiche, vanno ricordati il De consensu evangelistarum (400 circa), le Enarrationes in Psalmos, e i Tractatus in evangelium Iohannis, raccolte di sermoni su questi libri. Ma nelle Confessioni A. ha inserito anche un'istruzione catechetica (proprio con il commento al Genesi), affine a quella da lui data in un'altra operetta, il De catechizandis rudibus (400 circa). E il motivo della memoria, che appare nelle Confessioni, diventa importantissimo in un altro trattato su cui A. si affaticò lungo (400 circa -416 circa): il De Trinitate. L'anima è un pensiero (mens) da cui nasce una conoscenza (notitia), e nel suo rapportarsi a questa conoscenza nasce l'amore che essa si porta (amor). Nell'anima o, meglio, nella memoria, nell'intelletto e nella volontà, nella parte cioè più alta e nobile di essa, che ricorda, comprende e ama sé stessa, ma soprattutto ricorda, conosce e ama Dio, A. scorge le "vestigia" della Trinità divina. Di essa, criticando talvolta le formule di s. Ilario di Poitiers, egli mette in rilievo l'unità di sostanza, insistendo sull'uguaglianza delle tre Persone: le operazioni ad extra sono l'opera indistinta di tutte, ciò che si dice di ciascuna quanto alla sostanza, e anche alla sapienza e altri attributi, è comune, uguale, identico e numericamente uno in tutte; mentre esse si distinguono e si oppongono secondo le loro relazioni reciproche. Teoria che, chiarendo la processione dello Spirito Santo principaliter, sì, dal Padre, ma anche dal Figlio, divenne importantissima per lo svolgimento della teologia occidentale, cui A. ha legato il carattere "cristocentrico", conforme alla tendenza fondamentale del suo pensiero, aggirantesi intorno alla persona e all'opera del Cristo ed alla redenzione dell'uomo dal peccato, mercé la grazia. Intorno a questi temi scoppiò la polemica con Pelagio, già scandalizzatosi in Roma per l'invocazione delle Confessioni a Dio: da quod iubes et iube quod vis e ora rifugiatosi in Africa con il suo compagno Celestio (che, denunciato da Paolino di Milano, venne condannato nel 411 da un concilio locale, a Cartagine). Si possono distinguere in essa varie fasi: quella iniziale, in cui A. combatte ancora soltanto le dottrine, non gli uomini, che sa molto stimati (De peccatorum meritis et remissione, a Marcellino, il l. III composto dopo che A. ebbe conosciuto il commento di Pelagio a s. Paolo; De spiritu et littera ad Marcellinum e, a complemento, per asserire la necessità delle opere buone accanto alla fede, De fide et operibus; nonché il De bono viduitatis, dedicato a Giuliana, madre di Demetriade, in occasione della monacazione di questa); quella della polemica diretta, provocata dalle vicende di Pelagio in Oriente fino alla condanna da parte del papa Innocenzo I (con la celebre affermazione che, dopo tanti concilî, anche Roma locuta est; causa finita est; utinam aliquando finiatur error) e, dopo il grande concilio di Cartagine (418) da papa Zosimo (De natura et gratia contra Pelagium, De perfectione iustitiae hominis, contro Celestio, De gestis Pelagii, De gratia Christi et peccato originali); quella della lotta contro i pertinaci difensori di Pelagio (De nuptiis et concupiscentia ad Valerium comitem, Contra duas epistolas Pelagianorum, Contra Iulianum, e Contra secundam Iuliani responsionem, il cosiddetto Opus imperfectum, contro lo stesso Giuliano di Eclano, interrotto per la morte di A.), intesa al tempo stesso a chiarire la sua dottrina ai monaci di Adrumeto (De gratia et libero arbitrio, e De correptione et gratia, dedicati all'abate Valentino) e a combattere i "semipelagiani" della Gallia meridionale, insorti contro questi scritti (De praedestinatione sanctorum e De dono perseverantiae). Questa dottrina agostiniana del peccato originale, della grazia e della predestinazione, precisatasi ma anche irrigiditasi e spinta alle estreme conseguenze nell'ardore della polemica, si è prestata a varie e contrastanti interpretazioni. A. prende le mosse dalla condizione di Adamo, creato esente dalla morte (posse non mori, diverso da non posse mori proprio degli esseri spirituali) e dalla concupiscenza, capace quindi di non peccare (il posse non peccare, diverso dal non posse peccare degli eletti), e nella piena libertà di optare per il bene conformandosi a una ragione che aveva il perfetto predominio sui sensi, capace altresì di perseverare nel bene, grazie all'aiuto (adiutorium sine quo non) concessogli da Dio. Avendo Adamo peccato, la sua colpa si trasmise all'intero genere umano, divenuto così massa damnata; peccato di origine, che A. dimostra, fra l'altro, in base all'uso della Chiesa di amministrare agli infanti il battesimo che annulla la concupiscenza in quanto reato, ma la lascia sopravvivere actu, così che l'uomo, pur conservando il libero arbitrio, è privato di quella libertas ... quae in Paradiso fuit (Enchir. 26-27). Per poter resistere cioè alla concupiscenza, occorre ora un aiuto divino maggiore di quello dato ad Adamo: la grazia è dunque necessaria per avere la fede, e questa perché vi sia quell'amore di Dio, in quanto sommo bene, senza di che non esiste né beatitudine né vera moralità (e non vi sono pertanto vere virtù fra i pagani). Ma questo soccorso (adiutorium quo) non è concesso a tutti: Dio, senza alcuna ingiustizia, ma per un suo gratuito atto di misericordia, prepara per alcuni i mezzi, pienamente efficaci, per condurli alla salvezza cui li ha predestinati ab aeterno. Accusato dai pelagiani di manicheismo, A. tuttavia, come si vede, non considera come malvagia la stessa natura umana, e non condanna la procreazione: nel matrimonio, il male è la concupiscentia carnis; e anche questo può essere rivolto a un fine buono, la generazione dei figli congiunta alla volontà della loro rigenerazione attraverso il battesimo. Ma i bambini morti senza di questo, secondo A., non si sottraggono alla pena eterna. Poiché la trasmissione del peccato originale si spiegava più facilmente mediante la teoria secondo cui l'anima è generata, spiritualmente, da quella dei genitori (traducianismo), mentre, più conforme alla sua dottrina dell'illuminazione, era l'altra teoria, della creazione di ogni anima da Dio (creazionismo), A. rimase incerto fino all'ultimo (De anima et eius origine, 419-20). E poiché è ignoto chi siano gli eletti, la concezione agostiniana della predestinazione coincide con quella della Chiesa come corpus permixtum (v. sopra). La scossa profonda data a tutto il mondo romano dall'incursione di Alarico, le querimonie dei pagani additanti nel cristianesimo la causa di tutti i mali del mondo, indussero A. a meditare sulla storia, e a scrivere l'altra delle sue opere maggiori e più celebri dopo le Confessioni: il De civitate Dei. Nel corso della storia procedono unite le due città (Civitas Dei e Civitas terrena), nate l'una dall'amor Dei usque ad contemptum sui, l'altra dall'amor sui usque ad contemptum Dei e predestinate, la prima a regnare in eterno con Dio, l'altra a subire l'eterno supplizio. Neppure quest'opera è, in fondo, davvero sistematica; cosciente dello sviluppo del proprio pensiero, A. sembra invitare i lettori a imitarlo nello sforzo di progredire: del resto volle egli stesso correggere i suoi errori (ma anche dimostrare, specie contro i manichei, la sua fondamentale coerenza) in quella originalissima rassegna dei suoi scritti che sono le Retractationes (426-27). Va menzionato ancora, breve e bellissimo compendio della dottrina cristiana, l'Enchiridium ad Laurentium (De fide, spe, charitate, 421); e va almeno accennato il valore letterario dei suoi scritti, specie delle Confessioni. Festa, 28 agosto. L'interesse educativo di A. non è limitato ai problemi pedagogici più dibattuti dalla Patristica, e cioè all'utilizzazione della cultura pagana nella formazione dei ragazzi, ed ai modi e metodi dell'educazione religiosa. Esso si connette piuttosto ad un tema filosofico fondamentale nella sua speculazione, quello della "verità interiore" e quindi con la dottrina dell'illuminazione. Il processo educativo consiste nel trarre alla luce la verità, nel ritrovare Dio-maestro nel profondo dell'anima (Christus intus docet). Il maestro vero è quindi solo Cristo, i maestri terreni non possono far altro che stimolare la riscoperta della verità stessa che è in noi come segno della presenza di Dio. Dal punto di vista didattico A. accoglie la necessaria propedeutica delle "arti liberali", ma la cultura per sé non è indispensabile, poiché le virtù cristiane si realizzano anche al di fuori di esse. Necessaria è invece la cultura religiosa da impartire anche alle menti più rozze: nel De catechizandis rudibus Agostino parla di tale opera educativa, ponendo in rilievo la funzione fondamentale che ha in essa l'amore con cui il maestro discende al livello dell'educando (così come Cristo ha fatto per l'uomo facendosi uomo) e vivifica anche gli aspetti più elementari e consueti del fatto educativo.

Translator: Joseph Geni Reviewer: Morton Bast Before March, 2011, I was a photographic retoucher based in New York City. We're pale, gray creatures. We hide in dark, windowless rooms, and generally avoid sunlight. We make skinny models skinnier, perfect skin more perfect, and the impossible possible, and we get criticized in the press all the time, but some of us are actually talented artists with years of experience and a real appreciation for images and photography. On March 11, 2011, I watched from home, as the rest of the world did, as the tragic events unfolded in Japan. Soon after, an organization I volunteer with, All Hands Volunteers, were on the ground, within days, working as part of the response efforts. I, along with hundreds of other volunteers, knew we couldn't just sit at home, so I decided to join them for three weeks. On May the 13th, I made my way to the town of Ōfunato. It's a small fishing town in Iwate Prefecture, about 50,000 people, one of the first that was hit by the wave. The waters here have been recorded at reaching over 24 meters in height, and traveled over two miles inland. As you can imagine, the town had been devastated. We pulled debris from canals and ditches. We cleaned schools. We de-mudded and gutted homes ready for renovation and rehabilitation. We cleared tons and tons of stinking, rotting fish carcasses from the local fish processing plant. We got dirty, and we loved it. For weeks, all the volunteers and locals alike had been finding similar things. They'd been finding photos and photo albums and cameras and SD cards. And everyone was doing the same. They were collecting them up, and handing them in to various places around the different towns for safekeeping. Now, it wasn't until this point that I realized that these photos were such a huge part of the personal loss these people had felt. As they had run from the wave, and for their lives, absolutely everything they had, everything had to be left behind. At the end of my first week there, I found myself helping out in an evacuation center in the town. I was helping clean the onsen, the communal onsen, the huge giant bathtubs. This happened to also be a place in the town where the evacuation center was collecting the photos. This is where people were handing them in, and I was honored that day that they actually trusted me to help them start hand-cleaning them. Now, it was emotional and it was inspiring, and I've always heard about thinking outside the box, but it wasn't until I had actually gotten outside of my box that something happened. As I looked through the photos, there were some were over a hundred years old, some still in the envelope from the processing lab, I couldn't help but think as a retoucher that I could fix that tear and mend that scratch, and I knew hundreds of people who could do the same. So that evening, I just reached out on Facebook and asked a few of them, and by morning the response had been so overwhelming and so positive, I knew we had to give it a go. So we started retouching photos. This was the very first. Not terribly damaged, but where the water had caused that discoloration on the girl's face had to be repaired with such accuracy and delicacy. Otherwise, that little girl isn't going to look like that little girl anymore, and surely that's as tragic as having the photo damaged. (Applause) Over time, more photos came in, thankfully, and more retouchers were needed, and so I reached out again on Facebook and LinkedIn, and within five days, 80 people wanted to help from 12 different countries. Within two weeks, I had 150 people wanting to join in. Within Japan, by July, we'd branched out to the neighboring town of Rikuzentakata, further north to a town called Yamada. Once a week, we would set up our scanning equipment in the temporary photo libraries that had been set up, where people were reclaiming their photos. The older ladies sometimes hadn't seen a scanner before, but within 10 minutes of them finding their lost photo, they could give it to us, have it scanned, uploaded to a cloud server, it would be downloaded by a gaijin, a stranger, somewhere on the other side of the globe, and it'd start being fixed. The time it took, however, to get it back is a completely different story, and it depended obviously on the damage involved. It could take an hour. It could take weeks. It could take months. The kimono in this shot pretty much had to be hand-drawn, or pieced together, picking out the remaining parts of color and detail that the water hadn't damaged. It was very time-consuming. Now, all these photos had been damaged by water, submerged in salt water, covered in bacteria, in sewage, sometimes even in oil, all of which over time is going to continue to damage them, so hand-cleaning them was a huge part of the project. We couldn't retouch the photo unless it was cleaned, dry and reclaimed. Now, we were lucky with our hand-cleaning. We had an amazing local woman who guided us. It's very easy to do more damage to those damaged photos. As my team leader Wynne once said, it's like doing a tattoo on someone. You don't get a chance to mess it up. The lady who brought us these photos was lucky, as far as the photos go. She had started hand-cleaning them herself and stopped when she realized she was doing more damage. She also had duplicates. Areas like her husband and her face, which otherwise would have been completely impossible to fix, we could just put them together in one good photo, and remake the whole photo. When she collected the photos from us, she shared a bit of her story with us. Her photos were found by her husband's colleagues at a local fire department in the debris a long way from where the home had once stood, and they'd recognized him. The day of the tsunami, he'd actually been in charge of making sure the tsunami gates were closed. He had to go towards the water as the sirens sounded. Her two little boys, not so little anymore, but her two boys were both at school, separate schools. One of them got caught up in the water. It took her a week to find them all again and find out that they had all survived. The day I gave her the photos also happened to be her youngest son's 14th birthday. For her, despite all of this, those photos were the perfect gift back to him, something he could look at again, something he remembered from before that wasn't still scarred from that day in March when absolutely everything else in his life had changed or been destroyed. After six months in Japan, 1,100 volunteers had passed through All Hands, hundreds of whom had helped us hand-clean over 135,000 photographs, the large majority — (Applause) — a large majority of which did actually find their home again, importantly. Over five hundred volunteers around the globe helped us get 90 families hundreds of photographs back, fully restored and retouched. During this time, we hadn't really spent more than about a thousand dollars in equipment and materials, most of which was printer inks. We take photos constantly. A photo is a reminder of someone or something, a place, a relationship, a loved one. They're our memory-keepers and our histories, the last thing we would grab and the first thing you'd go back to look for. That's all this project was about, about restoring those little bits of humanity, giving someone that connection back. When a photo like this can be returned to someone like this, it makes a huge difference in the lives of the person receiving it. The project's also made a big difference in the lives of the retouchers. For some of them, it's given them a connection to something bigger, giving something back, using their talents on something other than skinny models and perfect skin. I would like to conclude by reading an email I got from one of them, Cindy, the day I finally got back from Japan after six months. "As I worked, I couldn't help but think about the individuals and the stories represented in the images. One in particular, a photo of women of all ages, from grandmother to little girl, gathered around a baby, struck a chord, because a similar photo from my family, my grandmother and mother, myself, and newborn daughter, hangs on our wall. Across the globe, throughout the ages, our basic needs are just the same, aren't they?" Thank you. (Applause) (Applause)

WHAT IS SCIENCE? - is a way in which answers related to NATURAL events are proposed. - a way in which people can learn and UNDERSTAND events in the NATURAL WORLD - based on OBSERVABLE EVENTS - a study of the NATURAL WORLD - a method of DISCOVERY and UNDERSTANDING by using a PROBLEM-SOLVING process called the?? - A systematic body of knowledge based on observation and experimentation. FOUR COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF SCIENCE: 1. It focuses on the NATURAL WORLD. 2. Goes through experiment. 3. Relies on evidence. 4. Passes through the scientific community. WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY? Brian Arthur (2009) defined technology as: 1. a means to fulfill a human purpose 2. assemblage of practices and components 3. a collection of devices and engineering practices available to a culture. SOCIETY ST (Science Technology) would not exist without society. WHAT IS STS? Science and Technology and Society (STS) is the study of how society, politics and culture affect scientific research and technological innovation and how these, in turn affects society, politics and culture.

Inventions - They made simple tools and weapons of stone flakes and later developed method of sawing and polishing stones around 40,000 B.C. - By around 3,000 B.C. they were producing adzes ornaments of seashells and pottery. Pottery flourished for the next 2,000 years until they imported Chinese porcelain. Soon they learned to produce copper, bronze, iron, and gold metal tools and ornaments. Iron Age - The Iron Age lasted from the third century B.C. to 11th century A.D. During this period Filipinos were engaged in extraction smelting and refining of iron from ores, until the importation of cast iron from Sarawak and later from China. INVENTIONS AND DISCOVERIES - They learn to weave cotton, make glass ornaments, and cultivate lowland rice and dike fields of terraced fields utilizing spring water in mountain regions. - They also learned to build boats for trading purposes. - Spanish chronicles noted refined plank built warships called caracoa suited for interisland trade raids 10TH CENTURY A.D. - Filipinos from the Butuan were trading with Champa (Vietnam) and those from Ma-I (Mindoro) with China as noted in Chinese records containing several references to the Philippines. These archaeological findings indicated that regular trade relations between the Philippines, China and Vietnam had been well established from the 10th century to the 15th century A.D.
