Philosophers Continued

Today we continued to learn about primary philosophers. A philosopher is a "lover of wisdom". Aristotle was the next philosopher we discussed. We began with Socrates, to Plato, to Aristotle. Aristotle was a student of the Plato at his school. Aristotle helped foster the idea of Athens as an intellectual destination.His school, the Lyceum, focused on cooperative research building on knowledge gathered from all over the world. He had dreamed of having knowledge being able to be accessed in one location such as the way online information is found. Some of his primary writings focused on topics such as logic, physics, biology, ethics, politics, rhetoric, motion, theater, poetry, metaphysics, psychology, dreams, and more. He also tutored Alexander the Great as a request from the King. Alexander took those teachings and brought them throughout life with him. These were all the notes we took today. I am feeling pretty good with this information, but I struggle when it comes to the wars and battles of the time. Otherwise I feel confident I know about the philosophers and a little bit of the gods/ goddesses.
