Classical period (5th - 4th century B.C.) Within this period Athens flourishes under Pericles, the Parthenon is built on the Acropolis, the tragedies of Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides are created, the phisolophical schools of Socrates and Plato (known as Academy) are established, and the Lyceum of Athens is founded by Aristotle. In science, the importance of the experimental method is accepted. Philosophers-Scientists Socrates (Athens, 470-399 B.C.). Died from poison after the state found him guilty for corrupting the youth.

"He was eminent for wealth and noble birth, and furthermore for magnanimity, in that he gave up his patrimony to his relations." [D.L., op.cit., Vol. I, 137]. Anaxagoras moved to Athens in 480 BCE (the first Presocratic philosopher to reside there), bringing Ionian natural philosophy with him. Having been a Persian subject, he is thought to have served in the Persian army. He was nicknamed: "Mind" (nous), and was most notably associated with the Athenian Statesman, Pericles . Around 450 BCE he was prosecuted for atheism and 'impiety', having declared the sun to be "a fiery lump, larger than the Peloponnese" of Hellas. Anaxagoras was forced to leave Athens. B. His Works: Only fragments survive of his first book, the Physics [On Nature] C. Presocratic Influences on Anaxagoras: although his initial influences were Ionian physics (esp.

360 BC THEAETETUS by Plato translated by Benjamin Jowett PERSONS OF THE DIALOGUE: SOCRATES; THEODORUS; THEAETETUS. Euclid and Terpsion meet in front of Euclid's house in Megara; they enter the house, and the dialogue is read to them by a servant. [Euclid] Have you only just arrived from the country, Terpsion? [Terpsion] No, I came some time ago: and I have been in the Agora looking for you, and wondering that I could not find you. [Euc.] But I was not in the city. [Terp.] Where then? [Euc.] As I was going down to the harbour, I met Theaetetus-he was being carried up to Athens from the army at Corinth. [Terp.] Was he alive or dead? [Euc.] He was scarcely alive, for he has been badly wounded; but he was suffering even more from the sickness which has broken out in the army. [Terp.] The dysentery, you mean? [Euc.] Yes. [Terp.] Alas! what a loss he will be! [Euc.] Yes, Terpsion, he is a noble fellow; only to-day I heard some people highly praising his behaviour in this very battle. [Terp.] No wonder; I should rather be surprised at hearing anything else of him. But why did he go on, instead of stopping at Megara? [Euc.] He wanted to get home: although I entreated and advised him to remain he would not listen to me; so I set him on his way, and turned back, and then I remembered what Socrates had said of him, and thought how remarkably this, like all his predictions, had been fulfilled. I believe that he had seen him a little before his own death, when Theaetetus was a youth, and he had a memorable conversation with him, which he repeated to me when I came to Athens; he was full of admiration of his genius, and said that he would most certainly be a great man, if he lived.

Plato: Suggestions for further study Links (in this web): Powers Title Page subject index instructor technical FAQ Before Socrates The most useful background for reading Plato comes from Homer , as Lessons 11 through 14 have indicated. Important historical background for Plato's Athens is provided by Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War (cir. 431 BC). See also Sven Delille's Peloponnesian War web site. A variety of schools of philosophy flourished before Socrates. See John Burnet's Greek Philosophy Part I: Thales to Plato for general reference on philosophy see also Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy Socrates Apart from Plato, our chief source of knowledge about Socrates is Xenophon's memoirs of Socrates (Xenophon c. 428- c. 354 BC). Xenophon's treatment of Socrates, unlike Plato's, is non-poetic, as Xenophon was a practical military man and scholar who spent most of his adult life outside Athens. Nonetheless, Xenophon admired Socrates, and his account generally supports and occasionally enlarges the picture of Socrates that we find in Plato. Aristophanes' comedy The Clouds (419 B.C.) presents a satiric send-up of Socrates by one of his contemporaries.

Home Ancient Greek Scientists AGRICULTURALISTS ARCHITECTS ... PHYSICISTS MATHEMATICIAN THEAETHETUS OF ATHENS (fl. 414 - 367 BC) Life Son of Euphronius of Sounion, pupil of Theodore of Cyrene, friend of Plato and member of his Academy, Theaetetus was wounded at the Battle of Corinth and died on his return to Athens. Plato dedicated one of his dialogues to him. Theaethetus, worked with Eudoxus and built on his "On means", is considered the father of stereometry. Euclid based Books X and XIII of his Elements on the work of Theaethetus. Work His principal works are: "Incommensurability of the square roots of all non-square simple numbers" "Cube roots" "Classification of the squares of incommensurable numbers" "On the five regular solids": Construction of the 5 regular solids (cube, pyramid, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron) that can be inscribed in a circle.

BECK index Socrates, Xenophon, and Plato This chapter is part of the book ANCIENT WISDOM AND FOLLY, which has now been published. For information on ordering click here. Empedocles Socrates Xenophon's Socrates ... Laws In the fifth century BC the Pythagorean Empedocles of Acragas wrote two poems, On Nature and Purifications , about the middle of the fifth century BC. He saw the universe as shifting between Love and Strife and composed of the elements of fire, air, water, and earth. With Love comes concord and joy; Aristotle interpreted Love as the cause of good and Strife as the cause of bad. Aristotle also said that he had been a champion of freedom and was averse to all rules. Others said that Empedocles declined the kingship offered to him, because he preferred to live frugally. When a tyrant insisted that all the guests drink wine or have it poured over their heads, Empedocles the next day accused the host and master of revels; this led to their condemnation and execution. Thus began his political career; it was argued that he must have been both wealthy and democratic, because he broke up the assembly of a thousand three years after it was set up. Late in his life the descendants of his enemies opposed his return to Agrigentum; so he went to the Peloponnesus, where he died. Leucippus founded the atom theory of natural philosophy refined by Democritus, who also taught that the cheerful person eager for justice and right actions is strong and free of care, while those who do not care about justice and right find everything joyless and in memory are afraid and reproach themselves. Happiness, said Democritus, is not found in gold or cattle but in the soul. For Democritus the goal of action is tranquillity, which is not the same as pleasure but a state of well-being in which the soul is calm, strong and undisturbed by fear, superstition, and other feelings.

For related articles, scroll down or click here. If society is not based on the commitment to discover and know the complex domain, and hence, to make decisions based on universal principles and a commitment to the Good, it will begin to degenerate, as Plato's Athens did. Above: Parthenon, Acropolis, Athens; Inset: Plato Plato's dialogues encompass an historical sweep of time, f rom Athens at its height in 450 B.C to its defeat in the Peloponnesian War, to the death of Socrates in 399 B.C and beyond. That more than half-century witnessed the self-destruction of Athens, as its imperial ambitions brought it into conflict with its neighboring city-states, especially Sparta, thus precipitating the Peloponnesian war in 432. A series of disasterous decisions led to Athens' ultimate defeat in 404. Against this backdrop, Plato sketched the tragedy of Athens, peopling his dialogues with the very political and military leaders, and pseudo-philosophers, who, step-by-step, led Athens to its doom.
