http://www.rep.routledge.com/article/A130

Extractions: HOME HELP Article Bibliography ... DAVID SEDLEY The philosophy of the Greco-Roman world from the sixth century bc to the sixth century ad laid the foundations for all subsequent Western philosophy. Its greatest figures are Socrates (fifth century bc ) and Plato and Aristotle (fourth century bc ). But the enormously diverse range of further important thinkers who populated the period includes the Presocratics and Sophists of the sixth and fifth centuries bc ; the Stoics, Epicureans and sceptics of the Hellenistic age; and the many Aristotelian and (especially) Platonist philosophers who wrote under the Roman Empire, including the great Neoplatonist Plotinus. Ancient philosophy was principally pagan, and was finally eclipsed by Christianity in the sixth century ad , but it was so comprehensively annexed by its conqueror that it came, through Christianity, to dominate medieval and Renaissance philosophy. This eventual symbiosis between ancient philosophy and Christianity may reflect the fact that philosophical creeds in late antiquity fulfilled much the same role as religious movements, with which they shared many of their aims and practices. Only a small fraction of ancient philosophical writings have come down to us intact. The remainder can be recovered, to a greater or lesser extent, by piecing together fragmentary evidence from sources which refer to them.

A religious and educational charity, (Reg.No.801629,) established on 7th October, 1987CE to promote the ancient teachings and philosophy of Odin. Located in London, England.
http://www.gippeswic.demon.co.uk/odinshof.html

Extractions: ODINSHOF: THE WAY OF THE RAVEN. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: * Presenting the Northern Tradition to the general public, including those familiar with paganism; * Working with the Olgar Trust to purchase woodland for conservation and ritual use; * Training Heathen priests and priestesses. THE FIRST DECADE The Odinshof is a religious and educational charity, (Reg.No.801629,) established on 7th October, 1987CE to promote the ancient teachings and philosophy of Odin. As a Heathen organisation the Odinshof acknowledges all other Germano-Celtic deities of old Europe. To those who regard Odin, (Old English Woden, ) as a historical character, he probably lived around 250BCE as the head of a Transylvanian Celtic tribe in an area that was called Tylis. Some of Odins teachings can be found as part of an ancient poem called the Havamal, meaning the sayings of the High One (Odin.) It was written down about 700 years ago by an Icelandic scribe and a copy was preserved in Denmark. (It was later returned to Iceland.) It records a much earlier oral tradition. Odin is credited with finding the magical Futhark runic alphabet. Runes are far older than the period when he lived on earth, but 250BCE seems to be the approximate date when they passed to Germanic speaking tribes. Wednesday and the place Wednesbury are named after Woden. Nine days after the Constitution of the Odinshof was signed by co-founders Martyn Taylor and John Broughton in Grimston, Norfolk, the great hurricane swept across Britain on its way to the North Pole. Nine is a particularly magical number for followers of Odin ('Odinists,') as it is recorded in part of the Havamal that he hung on the world tree for nine long nights to discover the secrets of the runes. Since the founding days the Odinshof has evolved considerably from a group of friends to become a registered charity.

The Academy [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
Brief article on the development of this ancient school.
http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/a/academy.htm

Extractions: Philosophical institution founded by Plato, which advocated skepticism in succeeding generations. The Academy ( Academia Academia is frequently used in philosophical writings, especially in Cicero, as indicative of the Academic sect. Sextus Empiricus enumerates five divisions of the followers of Plato. He makes Plato founder of the first Academy, Aresilaus of the second, Carneades of the third, Philo and Charmides of the fourth, Antiochus of the fifth. Cicero recognizes only two Academies, the Old and the New, and makes the latter commence as above with Arcesilaus. In enumerating those of the old Academy, he begins, not with Plato, but Democritus, and gives them in the following order: Democritus, Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Parmenides, Xenophanes, Socrates, Plato, Speusippus, Xenocrates, Polemo, Crates, and Crantor. In the New, or Younger, he mentions Arcesilaus, Lacydes, Evander, Hegesinus, Carneades, Clitomachus, and Philo ( Acad. Quaest. iv. 5). If we follow the distinction laid down by Diogenes, and alluded to above, the Old Academy will consist of those followers of Plato who taught the doctrine of their master without mixture or corruption; the Middle will embrace those who, by certain innovations in the manner of philosophizing, in some measure receded from the Platonic system without entirely deserting it; while the New will begin with those who relinquished the more questionable tenets of Arcesilaus, and restored, in come measure, the declining reputation of the Platonic school.

Ancient History Sourcebook: George Long: Philosophy Of Antoninus
Essay on Antonious and Stoicism in general.
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/long-anton.html

Extractions: Philosophy Of Antoninus Stoic Philosophy Part I. and the poets Persius and Juvenal, whose energetic language and manly thoughts may be as instructive to us now as they might have been to their contemporaries. Persius died under Nero's bloody reign, but Juvenal had the good fortune to survive the tyrant Domitian and to see the better times of Nerva, Trajan, and Hadrian. His best precepts are derived from the Stoic school, and they are enforced in his finest verses by the unrivalled vigour of the Latin language. [Footnote 1: I have omitted Seneca, Nero's preceptor. He was in a sense a Stoic and he has said many good things in a very fine way. There is a judgment of Gellius (XII. 2) on Seneca, or rather a statement of what some people thought of his philosophy, and it is not favourable. His writings and his life must be taken together, and I have nothing more to say of him here. The reader will find a notice of Seneca and his philosophy in "Seekers after God," by the Rev. F. W. Farrar. Macmillan and Co.] [Footnote 2: Ribbeck has laboured to prove that those Satires which contain philosophical precepts are not the work of the real, but of a false Juvenal, a Declamator. Still the verses exist, and were written by somebody who was acquainted with the Stoic doctrines.]
Indian Philosophy Before The Greeks

http://www.nalanda.demon.co.uk/preGreek.htm

Extractions: INDIAN PHILOSOPHY before the GREEKS. If Indian philosophy is studied in British Universities, it is rarely the philosophy department that offers it. (There are honourable exceptions!) A particularly unfortunate consequence of this is that the study of Ancient Philosophy generally focuses exclusively on the history of Greek Philosophy and leaves aside the more ancient history of Indian and the equally ancient history of Chinese philosophy, let alone the more controverted issues surrounding the existence of philosophical thought in ancient Egypt. If early Indian philosophy is addressed in the academic discussion of Ancient Philosophy, it is usually in terms of the possibility that Indian thought may have influenced the development of Greek philosophy. Such an influence certainly could have existed: the Persian Empire included Indians in its Eastern Satrapies and Greeks in the cities on the coast of Asia Minor; the means of transmission clearly existed. Tantalising parallels exist, and in many cases the Indian texts are demonstrably earlier. The passage in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, for example

Cynic - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
Entry in Wikipedia on the small but influential school of ancient philosophy, whose members included Antisthenes, Diogenes of Sinope, Crates of Thebes, and Zeno.
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynic

Extractions: The Cynics were a small but influential school of ancient philosophers . Their name is thought to be derived either from the building in Athens called Cynosarges, the earliest home of the school, or from the Greek word for a dog ( kuon ), in contemptuous allusion to the uncouth and aggressive manners adopted by the members of the school. Whichever of these explanations is correct, it is noticeable that the Cynics agreed in taking a dog as their common badge or symbol, as early as the tombstone of Diogenes of Sinope . From a popular conception of the intellectual characteristics of the school comes the modern sense of "cynic," implying a sneering disposition to disbelieve in the goodness of human motives and a contemptuous feeling of superiority. The importance of the school's principles lies not only in their intrinsic value as an ethical system, but also in the fact that they form the link between Socrates and the Stoics , between the essentially Greek philosophy of the 4th century BC and a system of thought which has exercised a profound and far-reaching influence on medieval and modern ethics. From the time of Socrates in unbroken succession up to the reign of
Boethius, C.475-524
A brief biography with a selection from The Consolation of philosophy.
http://www.historyguide.org/ancient/boethius.html

Extractions: Boethius, c.475-524 Anicius Manlius Severinus, better known as Boethius, was born of a consular family and studied philosophy, mathematics and poetry. Soon after 500 he was appointed a court minister by the Gothic king, Theodoric, now ruling Italy from Rome. Boethius was made consul in 510, and his two sons shared the same honor in 522. But his boldness brought down upon his head the vengeance of those whom he had checked in their oppressions. He was accused of treasonable designs against Theodoric, was stripped of his dignities, and, after imprisonment and torture at Pavia, was executed in 524. During his imprisonment he wrote his famous De Consolatione Philosophiae (a selection of which follows), in which the author holds a conversation with Philosophy, who shows him the mutability of all earthly fortune, and the insecurity of everything save virtue. The work, which in style imitates the best Augustan models, is theistic in its language, but affords no indication that that its writer was in fact a Christian. Boethius was the last great Roman writer who understood Greek and his translations of Aristotle were long the only means of studying Greek philosophy. His manuals on arithmetic, astronomy, geometry and music were generally used in medieval schools. The following selection is intended to give you a brief "taste" of Boethius. With any luck, you will find yourself buried in the world of the
