Onveeus

Balmaadiya-Onveeus (777:14 - 828), commonly known as Onveeus, was a Huulooneean philosopher and founder of Onviyoo. Her works profoundly shaped Eastern thought, and between the mid 8th century and the 14th century, she was considered an unquestionable intellectual authority by most of Afbarkeean society. She was the first person to prove that the world was a globe.

Life
Balmaadiya first attended the University of Leebaa, before being recommended to the Akranon in 789. Here, she met her mentor Harpin-Tol, who introduced Balmaadiya to the works of her own mentor Nevix-Indikan.

The Synthetic Theory of Knowledge
In the last few years of the 7th century, Balmaadiya attempted to reconcile the conflicting holistic and analytic theories. The problem with analytic theory, she claimed, is that you can never be totally certain about anything, whereas the problem with holism is that holistic facts are few and hard to attain. Balmaadiya argued that knowledge must come from the analytic theory, but potential facts must be tested under many different circumstances to approach a holistic perspective. For example, in order to find out how fast a ball will roll down a slope, one must test it on many different surfaces and using many different gradients to determine accurate knowledge. Balmaadiya conceded that this knowledge is still not certain, but is the closest thing to certainty.
