Pic of aristotle

Bio:aristote (384 BC – 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher and polymath, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. His writings cover many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, linguistics, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoology. Together with Plato and Socrates (Plato's teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. Aristotle's writings were the first to create a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics. Aristotle's views on the physical sciences profoundly shaped medieval scholarship, and their influence extended well into the Renaissance, although they were ultimately replaced by Newtonian physics. In the zoological sciences, some of his observations were confirmed to be accurate only in the 19th century. His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic, which was incorporated in the late 19th century into modern formal logic. In metaphysics, Aristotelianism had a profound influence on philosophical and theological thinking in the Islamic and Jewish traditions in the Middle Ages, and it continues to influence Christian theology, especially the scholastic tradition of the Catholic Church. His ethics, though always influential, gained renewed interest with the modern advent of virtue ethics. All aspects of Aristotle's philosophy continue to be the object of active academic study today. Though Aristotle wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues (Cicero described his literary style as "a river of gold"), it is thought that the majority of his writings are now lost and only about one-third of the original works have survived.

**One of the most famous philosophers and scientists of the Ancient world was born in Stageira, Thrace, where his father was the royal physician. When he was 17, Aristotle moved to Athens, where he studied at Plato's Academy. He was to remain there for 20 years, and also became a teacher at the Academy.** Webmistress V.E.K. Sandels

=**__SOCRATES:__**=

Socrates was the first of three great Atheninan philosophers. He was born in Athens in 469 b.c. and died around 399 b.c. His father is believed to be a stone-carver. And his mother, a midwife. His wife Xanthippe, was ill-tempered. They had three sons: Lamprocles, Sophroniscus and Menexenus.
 * His Background info:**

Socrates fought in the Peloponnesian war. He also lived a noble life and had a calm acceptance of life. During his life he experienced the "Golden Age" of Athens. He also witnessed Athens' defeat at the end of the Peloponnesian war. They lead a spectacular victory against two invading armies. In 406 he held a minor office in the democratic administration of Athens when it was his turn. But otherwise, Socrates generally stayed out of the politics in his city
 * How did he live?:**

Being one of the most original, controversial figures in ancient Greek philosophy, he urged other Greeks to consider that the most important things in life were the moral characters of their souls and the search for knowledge of moral ideas such as justice. "All men's souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine". (-Socrates) Socrates was interested in ethics. He thought that no one would knowingly do a bad thing, so knowledge was important because it resulted in a good behavior.
 * What did Socrates Believe?**

Socrates is remembered for how he taught, instead of what he taught. He asked many questions which helped people find answers on their own. He would ask questions to himself like: "what is wisdom?" "what is beauty?" or even .. "what is the right thing to do ?" He also went around Athens asking people he met questions. Asking many questions, which helped people find answers on their own, he created the Socratic Method. Yet, people still could not understand his questioning. Therefore, people would try to beat him up if he tried to teach them using questions. Bad luck began when his pupil, Alcibiades committed high treason.
 * How did his method work?**

One famous philospher that Socrates taught was Plato. Plato was Socrates' student and also one of the most influential Athenian philosophers.
 * Who is one of the most famous philosophers that Socrates taught?**

Later on, Socrates was accused of corrupting the youth. People believed that he practiced impiety (not respecting gods). He stood on trial in front of an Athenian jury and was convicted of charges. He was sentenced to death. Guards gave Socrates a cup of hemlock, --which is a poisonous plant--, to drink. Socrates kept no records of his ideas while he was alive. One of his students, Plato wrote down his ideas after he died. There are no surviving pictures of Socrates that were made while he was alive, or by anyone who ever saw Socrates. He is said to have been very ugly. For a man who believed that happiness was achieved through leading a moral life and morals could be taught, he died a tragic death.

Socrates is remembered chiefly as a philosopher and the teacher of Plato, but he was also a citizen of Athens, and served the military as a [|hoplite] during the [|Peloponnesian War], at Potidaea (432-429), where he saved [|Alcibiades]' life in a skirmish, Delium (424), where he remained calm while most around him were in a panic, and Amphipolis (422). Socrates also participated in the Athenian democratic political organ, the Council of the 500

Plato:

Who Was Plato?
Plato was one of the most famous, respected, and influential philosophers of all time. A type of love (Platonic) is named for him. We know the Greek philosopher Socrates mostly through Plato's dialogues. Atlantis enthusiasts know Plato for his parable about it. He saw tripartite structures in the world around him. His social structure theory had a governing class, warriors, and workers. He thought the human soul contained reason, spirit, and appetite. He may have founded an institution of learning known as the Academy, from which we get the word academic.
 * The Dialogues of Plato

The Name 'Plato':
Plato was originally named Aristocles, but one of his teachers gave him the familiar name, either because of the breadth of his shoulders or his speech.

Birth:
Plato was born around May 21 in 428 or 427 B.C., a year or two after Pericles died and during the Peloponnesian War. He was related to Solon and could trace his ancestry to the last legendary king of Athens, [|Codrus].

Plato and Socrates:
Plato was a student and follower of Socrates until 399, when the condemned Socrates died after drinking the prescribed cup of hemlock. It is through Plato that we are most familiar with Socrates' philosophy because he wrote dialogues in which his teacher took part, usually asking leading questions -- the Socratic method. Plato's //Apology// is his version of the death of Socrates.

The Legacy of the Academy:
When Plato died, in 347 B.C., after Philip II of Macedonia had begun his conquest of Greece, leadership of the Academy passed not to Aristotle, who had been a student and then teacher there for 20 years, and who expected to follow, but to Plato's nephew Speusippus. The Academy continued for several more centuries.

Plato and Eroticism:
Plato's //Symposium// contains ideas on love held by various philosophers and other Athenians. It entertains many points of view, including the idea that people were originally doubled -- some with the same gender and others with the opposite, and that, once cut, they spend their lives looking for their other part. This idea "explains" sexual preferences.

Plato and Atlantis:
The mythical place known as Atlantis appears as part of a parable in a fragment of Plato's late dialogue //Critias//.

Tradition of Plato:
In the Middle Ages, Plato was known mostly through Latin translations of Arabic translations and commentaries. In the Renaissance, when Greek became more familiar, far more scholars studied Plato. Since then, he has had an impact on math and science, morals, and political theory.

Plato and the Philosopher King:
Instead of following a political path, Plato thought it more important to educate would-be statesmen. For this reason, he set up a school for future leaders. His school was called the Academy, named for the park in which it was located. Plato's //Republic//contains a treatise on education.Plato is considered by many to be the most important philosopher who ever lived. He is known as the father of idealism in philosophy. His ideas were elitist, with the philosopher king the ideal ruler. Plato is perhaps best known to college students for his parable of a cave, which appears in Plato's //Republic//.
