44. Greek Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] The philosophical currents of ancient Greek philosophy are introduced, from the Presocratic philosophers through to Proclus. http://www.iep.utm.edu/g/greekphi.htm

Greek Philosophy Table of Contents (Clicking on the links below will take you to that part of this article) Presocratics Socrates and his Followers Plato Aristotle ... Neoplatonism Presocratics Our western philosophical tradition began in ancient Greece in the 6th century BCE. The first philosophers are called "Presocratics" which designates that they came before Socrates. The Presocratics were from either the eastern or western regions of the Greek world. Athens home of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle is in the central Greek region and was late in joining the philosophical game. The Presocratic's most distinguishing feature is emphasis on questions of physics; indeed, Aristotle refers to them as "Investigators of Nature". Their scientific interests included mathematics, astronomy, and biology. As the first philosophers, though, they emphasized the rational unity of things, and rejected mythological explanations of the world. Only fragments of the original writings of the presocratics survive, in some cases merely a single sentence. The knowledge we have of them derives from accounts of early philosophers, such as Aristotle's Physics and Metaphysics The Opinions of the Physicists by Aristotle's pupil Theophratus, and Simplicius, a Neoplatonist who compiled existing quotes.

50. Dictionary Of Philosophy Dictionary of philosophy. (ancient Medieval - Modern). edited by all the branches as well as schools of ancient, medieval, and modern philosophy. http://www.ditext.com/runes/

Dictionary of Philosophy (Ancient - Medieval - Modern) edited by Dagobert D. Runes (and 72 Authorities Indexed in the Meta-Encyclopedia of Philosophy A B C ... Z Edited in hypertext by Andrew Chrucky, July 10, 2004. Preface The aim of this dictionary is to provide teachers, students and laymen interested in philosophy with clear, concise, and correct definitions and descriptions of the philosophical terms, throughout the range of philosophic thought. In the volume are represented all the branches as well as schools of ancient, medieval, and modern philosophy. In any such conspectus, it is increasingly recognized that the Oriental philosophies must be accorded ample space beside those of the western world. The great field that must be compressed within the limits of a small volume makes omissions inevitable. If any topics, or phases of a subject, deserve space not here accorded them, it may be possible in future editions to allow them room; I take this occasion to invite suggestions and criticism, to that end. Clarity and correctness would be more easily secured if there were concord among philosophers. Scarcely any two thinkers would define philosophy alike; nor are they likely to agree as to the significance of its basic concepts. The value of a one-volume dictionary, nonetheless, makes the effort worthwhile.

Store Spotlight: Category Philosophy: History Category Philosophy: General Category Ayn Rand And Objectivism: Philosophical Theory Source : Unavailable Foundations Study Guide: Ancient Greek Philosophy by George Brakas, Ph.D. George Brakas is professor of philosophy at Marist College and author of Aristotle's Concept of the Universal. Before philosophy for tens of thousands of years, human beings did not see the world as we see it. Why did the Nile rise and flood the fields with dark, fertile soil? Because the Pharaoh had commanded it to. Why did the violent storm destroy the village and its people? Because it wished to. "The world appears to primitive man neither inanimate nor empty but redundant with life.... Any phenomenon may at any time face him, not as 'It,' but as 'Thou.' In this confrontation, 'Thou' reveals its individuality, its qualities, its will. 'Thou' is not contemplated with intellectual detachment; it is experienced as life confronting life....Thoughts, no less than acts and feelings, are subordinated to this experience." In this profoundly revealing passage from The Intellectual Adventure of Ancient Man , we see all the essential attributes of how the pre-philosophic mind saw the world it lived in, with its implicit metaphysics, epistemology and ethics: The world is a living being, or a collection of living beings; one comes to "know" it the way one comes to "know" another person, by living with him and getting a feel for who he is and what he will do; and one's life centers around or is dominated by this all-powerful and never-fully-understood creature. It is to the lasting glory of the Greeks that they forever liberated the human mind from these shackles.

var MenuLinkedBy='AllWebMenus [2]', awmBN='530'; awmAltUrl=''; Membership Spirituality Mailing List Hermetic Philosophy The Ancient and Eternal Wisdom The Bible and the Quabalah is solidly rooted in Hermetic Science. Hermetic is derived from the name Hermes (Greek) Throth (Egyptian) and Mercury (Roman). Hermes Trismegustus make his first appearance on Earth in Ancient Egypt. Previous to this cycle he was known as Thoth- the Athenian. To students of the occult his most known work is the emerald tablets. Hermes was the teacher of Abraham and was and still is the God of Wisdom. Among the arts and sciences which it is affirmed Hermes revealed to mankind were medicine, chemistry, law, art, astrology, music (Hermes created the lyre), rhetoric, magic, philosophy, geography, mathematics (especially geometry), anatomy and oratory. In his Biographia Antigua, Francis Barrett says of Hermes..."if God ever appeared in Man, he appeared in him, as is evident both from his books and his Pymander, in which works he has communicated the sum of the Abyss, and the divine knowledge to all posterity, by which he has demonstrated to himself to have been not only an inspired divine, but also a deep philosopher, obtaining wisdom from God and heavenly things, and not from Man." All the fundamental and basic teachings of every race may be traced back to Hermes. Even the most ancient teachings of India have their roots in the original teachings. Interestingly enough, it was at the time of Hermes, in Ancient Egypt that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built. It was in Ancient Egypt that Jesus was initiated into the occult laws and principles. Jesus was a hermetic scientist initiated into Qablah (Hermetic philosophy) in Jerusalem at he age of thirteen.

Cicero and Sextus are significant because their works have served as vehicles that convey skeptical arguments and views to medieval, renaissance, modern and contemporary philosophy (Diogenes Laertius is another ancient author who plays an important role in this regard).

60. Diogenes Laertius [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] Concise article on this ancient biographer. http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/d/dioglaer.htm

Diogenes Laertius (3rd cn. CE.) Diogenes Laertius, native of Laerte in Cilicia, was a biographer of ancient Greek philosophers. His Lives of the Philosophers Philosophoi Biol ), in ten books, is still extant and is an important source of information on the development of Greek philosophy. The period when he lived is not exactly known, but it is supposed to have been during the reigns of Septimius Severus and Caracalla. Because of his long and fairly sympathetic account of Epicurus, some think that Diogenes belonged to the Epicurean School, but this is not clear. He expresses his admiration for many philosophers, but his own allegiances, if any, are not stated. He divides all the Greek philosophers into two classes: those of the Ionic and those of the Italic school. He derives the first from Anaximander, the second from Pythagoras. After Socrates, he divides the Ionian philosophers into three branches: (a) Plato and the Academics, down to Clitomachus; (b) the Cynics, down to Chrysippus; (c) Aristotle and Theophrastus. The series of Italic philosophers consists, after Pythagoras, of the following: Telanges, Xenophanes, Parmenides, Zeno of Elea, Leucippus, Democritus, and others down to Epicurus. The first seven books are devoted to the Ionic philosophers; the last three treat of the Italic school. The work of Diogenes is a crude contribution towards the history of philosophy. It contains a brief account of the lives, doctrines, and sayings of most persons who have been called philosophers; and though the author is limited in his philosophical abilities and assessment of the various schools, the book is valuable as a collection of facts, which we could not have learned from any other source, and is entertaining as a sort of
