/Home/Historical Studies/Philosophy/History of Philosophy/Ancient Philosophy DIOGENES OF SINOPE Votes:0 Diogenes of Sinope by Ben Best I have long been inspired by the apocryphal story that "Diogenes of Sinope" went about ancient Greece vainly searching for an honest man. But I have no interest in being his apologist. Since there is no authenticated historical documentation about him I will relate some of the tradition about his life more from the point of view of intrinsic interest than from concern for historical accuracy. A major source of information is the third century (AD) Roman doxographer Laetius Diogenes, from whom much that follows is taken. "Cynicism" of ancient Greece and Rome derives its name from the Greek word for "Dog". Aristotle refers to Diogenes as "The Dog" and Diogenes seems to have accepted the nickname. Cynicism was not a "school of philosophy", but rather an "erratic Read More Go to Site Ancient Greece Votes:0 Archaic and Classical Greece Archaic Greece Sparta Athens The Persian Wars The Delian League The Athenian Empire The Peloponnesian War The Spartan Hegemony The Theban Hegemony The Second Athenian Empire Hellenistic Greece Philip II Alexander the Great The Three Empires Hellenistic Culture Greek Philosophy Pre-Socratic Philosophy Socrates Plato Aristotle Hellenistic Philosophy Women in Greek Culture and History Greek Art and Architecture Greek Drama Anthology of Greek Readings Historical Atlas Internet Resources on Ancient Greece ?1996, Richard Hooker For information contact: Richard Hines Updated 6-6-1999 Read More Go to Site Ancient Greek Philosophy Syllabus Votes:0 OhioLINK History of Philosophy Website Philosophy 31001 Ancient Greek Philosophy Fall 1996 Professor David Odell-Scott 320 G Bowman Hall Texts Aristotle.

LIFE OF PLATO Plato ( Platon , "the broad shouldered") was born at Athens in 428 or 427 B.C. He came of an aristocratic and wealthy family , although some writers represented him as having felt the stress of poverty. Doubtless he profited by the educational facilities afforded young men of his class at Athens . When about twenty years old he met Socrates , and the intercourse, which lasted eight or ten years, between master and pupil was the decisive influence in Plato's philosophical career. Before meeting Socrates he had, very likely, developed an interest in the earlier philosophers , and in schemes for the better Read More Go to Site CONTENTS Votes:0 Chapter 2 :The GREEKS CONTENTS SECTIONS: 1 GREEK THOUGHT: Overview 2 Greek Culture 3 Greek Theatre 4 The Sophists 5 Pre Socratics 6 Socrates Lifetime 7 Socrates' Trial 8 Socrates in Prison 9 Socrates Death : The Theory of the Forms I 10 Socrates Death and Legacy II 11 Socrates Death and Legacy III 12 Socrates Legacy IV 13 Plato's Dialogues 14 Plato: Overview 15 Plato: The Republic 16 Plato: the Symposium, The Process 17 Plato: Legacy ?

The most illustrious of the Cynic philosophers, Diogenes of Sinope serves as the template for the Cynic sage in antiquity. An alleged student of Antisthenes , Diogenes maintains his teacher?s asceticism and emphasis on ethics, but brings to these philosophical positions a dynamism and sense of humor unrivalled in the history of philosophy. Though originally from Sinope, the majority of the stories comprising his philosophical biography occur in Athens, and some of the most celebrated of these place Alexander the Great or Plato as his foil. It is disputed whether Diogenes left anything in writing. If he did, the texts he composed have since been lost. In Cynicism, living and writing are two components of ethical practice, but Diogenes is much like Socr Read More Go to Site Epicurus and Epicurean Philosophy Votes:0 ΕΠΙΚΟΥΡΟΣ Epicurus & Epicurean Philosophy Home/Ancient Texts | Beliefs | Relationships | History | Resources | Epicurean Philosophy List Welcome . . . Epicurus (341–270 B.C.) founded one of the major philosophies of ancient Greece, helping to lay the intellectual foundations for modern science and for secular individualism. Many aspects of his thought are still highly relevant some twenty-three centuries after they were first taught in his school in Athens, called “the Garden.” Epicurus's philosophy combines a physics based on an atomistic materialism with a rational hedonistic ethics that emphasizes moderation of desires and cultivation of friendships. His world-view is an optimistic one that stresses that philosophy can l Read More Go to Site Greek Philosophy Archive Votes:0 Welcome to the Greek Philosophy Archive That we've broken their statues, that we've driven them out of their temples, doesn't mean at all that the gods are dead.

So there were no longer small communities of self-governing citizens, but great administrative organizations controlling taxes, the judiciary, water and corn supplies, etc. In a time of universalism and individualism the world expanded, linked by a common language (Greek). Cults of the Olympian gods yielded to worship of the ruler; educated men turned to philosophy, others to the mystery-cults and private rel Read More Go to Site Heidegger's Reading of Heraclitus Votes:0 Introduction In a career stretching over half a century Martin Heidegger attempts to question the limitations of the Western philosophical tradition and open a space for thinking outside of it. At the beginning of this tradition he places the pre-Socratics, in particular Anaximander, Parmenides, and Heraclitus. In the fragments of these thinkers he finds both the foreshadowing of the tradition's development and a source for thought which would avoid the confines of this later development--associated with nihilism and the technological domination of the earth--by experiencing anew its initial unfolding. In this paper I explore Heidegger's relationship to Heraclitus in several texts by examining Heidegger's interpretation of particular fragments and placing them in the context of his philoso Read More Go to Site Higgins / SOCRATES' EFFECT/MENO'S AFFECT: SOCRATIC ELENCHUS AS KATHARTICTHERAPY Votes:0 Select ----- HOME 1992 Contents 1993 Contents 1994 Contents 1995 Contents 1996 Contents 1997 Contents 1998 Contents 1999 Contents 2000 Contents 2001 Contents 2002 Contents 2003 Contents Author Index PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION 1994 SOCRATES’ EFFECT/MENO’S AFFECT: SOCRATIC ELENCHUS AS KATHARTIC THERAPY 1 Chris Higgins Teachers College, Columbia University Introduction If there is one thing philosophers will agree on, it is that the Platonic dialogues are rich, multi-faceted texts. The dialogues lay out one of the most comprehensive and influential philosophical systems of all time, present a stirring portrait (in the character of Socrates) of a unique philosophic practice, and are at the same time carefully-crafted dramas which richly portray interpersonal and intra-personal encounter Read More Go to Site History for Kids!
