ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY 2
Ancient Philosophy
In ancient philosophy, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle are the three major ancient Greek
philosophers who formed the foundation for Science and Philosophy. However, even these
powerful thinkers used to work in a logical tradition. Socrates is popular for his methods of
teaching as well as his challenging questions. Plato on the other hand studied virtue, ethics,
justice, and other philosophies related to the behavior of humans. Aristotle was interested in
distinct sciences such as astronomy, physics, and Biology. Aristotle is highly credited for coming
up with the study of logic as well as the basis for up-to-date zoology. This write-up summarizes
and evaluates ancient philosophy which entails the three great philosophers.
Plato
Plato came from a family that was regarded highly in terms of status. Plato was a fan as
well as a friend to Socrates. Plato uses Socrates as a character in all his dialogues. However,
Socrates' figure is used as a voice in Plato's own opinions. As opposed to Socrates, Plato gives
advanced and well-opinioned views on a lot of things. According to Plato, there are distinct sorts
of mental figurative conditions with the uppermost being acquaintance of the forms and the
lowermost being imaging. In addition, there are degrees of authenticity where the less real
includes the physical world and even the even less actuality includes the depiction of it in the
form of art.
According to Plato, the soul entails an element of rational thinking, a feature of
motivational deliberateness, and an element that is appetitive and generates desire. Every
component of the soul resembles a virtue. The coherent element is wisdom, courage is the
willing feature of the soul, and temperance resembles the appetitive element of the soul. Plato’s
idea of community justice is anti-democratic and non-egalitarian.
