23. Ancient Greek Philosophy By Carly Tubridy

24. Philosophy: • Philosophy is the study devoted to the systematic examination of basic concepts suck as truth, existence, reality, etc. • The literal translation means ‘love of wisdom’

25. Who started it? • Philosophy began with pre-socratic thinkers in the 7th and 6th period such as… Pythagoras Protagoras Xenophanes

26. Where it began... • Began in Ionia, specifically in Miletus. • The city was very large so people had time to just think.

27. The Big Ideas • Philosophers searched for the origin and nature of the universe. Ideas like: • Rationalism- give reasons for conclusions and persuade others by arguments based on evidence • Subjectivism- human institution and values are only matters of convention custom, or law and not creations of nature, since truth is subjective speakers should be able to argue either side of a question. • Dualism- separation between spiritual and physical beings …were ideas developed from ancient Greek philosophy

28. Pre-socratic Philosophers • Thales and Anaximarder Laws of nature control the world • Pythagoras Numerical relationships explain the world • Xenophanes Gods have not revealed all • Protagoras sophist-‘men of wisdom’ they taught new skills of persuasion in speaking and new ways of thinking about philosophy and religion

29. Socrates • Most famous philosopher of the Golden Age • Not a sophist, he didn’t offer courses or accept pay • Fought against the idea that justice should be equated with power • Socratic Method is to lead people to draw conclusions in response to his probing questions and refutation of their assumptions • In 399 BC he was executed by the Athenians because his ideas were so controversial and because of the post-war tension from the Peloponnesian War. He was charged with impiety.

30. Plato • Plato was taught by Socrates • Believed that human reason and knowledge should be perfected for betterment of the soul. • Thought that philosophers should rule • Established the Academy in 387 BC

31. 4th century Philosopher • Student at Plato’s Academy for 20 years • Tutored Alexander the Great • 336 BC founded his school the Lyceum • Was later charged with impiety and fled Greece Aristotle

32. Philosophers changed how the Greeks thought • They changed the belief of Gods controlling everyday events to laws of nature as well as how to be a better person • These changes didn’t happen over night though, their ideas were sometimes rejected and sometimes accepted • Their new ideas and views changed how future people thought and what they believed
