| | Philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Medieval philosophy was concerned primarily with argument from authority, and the analysis of ancient texts using Aristotelian logic. | | | Philosophy is thus not a unified whole but is a set of unrelated problems. | | | The Penguin Encyclopedia says that philosophy differs from science in that philosophy's questions cannot be answered empirically, and from religion in that philosophy allows no place for faith or revelation, although these points may be called into question by certain philosophers. |

| | The beliefs of Pythagoras and Parmenides formed the basis of the idealism that was to characterize later Greek philosophy. | | | The Pythagorean school also laid great stress on the importance of the soul, regarding the body only as the soul's “tomb.” According to Parmenides, the leader of the Eleatic school, the appearance of movement and the existence of separate objects in the world are mere illusions; they only seem to exist. | | | In contrast were the ideas of Socrates, with whom Greek philosophy attained its highest level. |

| | Before philosophy for tens of thousands of years, human beings did not see the world as we see it. | | | It is to the lasting glory of the Greeks that they forever liberated the human mind from these shackles. | | | To be sure, the schools both had founded continued to exist for centuries, until the Christian emperor Justinian closed them down in A.D. 529; but they had lost their intellectual vitality. |

| | This was the last time Egypt was actually ruled by Egyptians until King Farûk (who was descended from the Albanian Muhammad Ali) was overthrown in 1952. | | | Thus "metaphysics" would be about spiritual things, God, the soul, ghosts, etc. Unfortunately, the Greek preposition meta does not mean "beyond"; it means "after." This might be thought to amount to the same thing, but it doesn't, because of the actual origin of the word. | | | But the Bible is never proposed as the first example of Jewish philosophy, probably because this would confuse the distinction people would want to make between religion and philosophy. |

| | PSYCHOLOGY IN GREEK PHILOSOPHY |
| | Philosophy took a humanistic turn as people began to scrutinize human nature for laws to guide their actions, rather than looking to custom or the gods for an objective notion of the "right." Several competing schools, each tracing its ancestry to some aspect of Socrates, Plato, or Aristotle's teachings, competed for the people's allegiance. | | | This came to be called the "Cyrenaic" school, and it is the most explicitly hedonistic philosophy found in the Greek tradition. | | | His Meditations, written in Greek, are the last major contribution to Stoic philosophy. |

| | As with many of the Ancient Greek Philosophers, Parmenides believed the only true being is 'The One', which is infinite, ageless, indivisible and eternal. | | | The ancient Greeks 'Atomic Theory of Matter' is not correct (founded on many discrete things, rather than One continuous Infinite thing) and has caused many problems for human knowledge ever since. | | | To this end he preaches knowledge of one's own starting-points, hypothetical entertainment of opinions, exploration of their consequences and connexions, willingness to follow argument wherever it leads, public confession of one's thoughts, invitation to others to criticize, readiness to reconsider, and at the same time firm action in accordance with one's present beliefs. |

| | Cults of the Olympian gods yielded to worship of the ruler; educated men turned to philosophy, others to the mystery-cults and private religious associations. | | | Cults of Isis, Dionysus, Serapis became important; there was a tendency towards syncretism, fusing deities from several traditions to produce One God. | | | Of all the philosophies of antiquity, this is perhaps the most familiar to you: the skeptic principle of doubting everything became, in the modern era, the fundamental basis of the scientific method. |
