Extractions: Lives of Eminent Philosophers, Book X Diogenes Laertius Diogenes Laertius (3 rd Century A.D.) is the primary source for the surviving complete letters of Epicurus and for biographical and other pertinent information about him: Index: Epicurus, son of Neocles and Chaerestrate, was an Athenian of the Gargettus ward and the Philaidae clan, as Metrodorus says in his book On Noble Birth . He is said by Heraclides (in his Epitome of Sotion ) as well as by others, to have been brought up at Samos after the Athenians had sent colonists there and to have come to Athens at the age of eighteen, at the time when Xenocrates was head of the Academy and Aristotle was in Chalcis. After the death of Alexander of Macedon and the expulsion of the Athenian colonists from Samos by Perdiccas, Epicurus left Athens to join his father in Colophon; for some time he stayed there and gathered students around him, then returned to Athens again during the archonship of Anaxicrates [307-306 B.C.]. For a while, it is said, he pursued his studies in common with other philosophers, but afterwards put forward independent views by founding the school named after him.

ZENO OF ELEA - LoveToKnow Article On ZENO OF ELEA ZENO OF ELEA, son of Teleutagoras, is supposed to have been born towards thebeginning of the 5th centtiry nc The ZENODOTUS OF EPHESUS zeno of sidon » http://64.1911encyclopedia.org/Z/ZE/ZENO_OF_ELEA.htm
Extractions: ZENO OF ELEA , son of Teleutagoras, is supposed to have been born towards the beginning of the 5th centtiry n.c. The pupil and the friend of Parmenides, he sought to recommend his masters doctrine of the existence of the One by contro verting the popular belief in the existence of the Many. In virtue of this method of indirect argumentation he is regarded as the inventor of dialectic, that is to say, disputation having for its end not victory but the discovery or the transmission of truth. He is said to have been concerned in a plot against a tyrant, and on its detection to have borne with exemplary constancy the tortures to which he was subjected; but authorities differ both as to the name and the residence of the tyrant and as to the circumstances and the issue of the enterprise. In Platos Parmenides, Socrates, then very young, meets Parmenides, an old man some sixty-five years of age, and Zeno, a man of about forty, tall and personable, and engages them in philosophical discussion. But it may be doubted whether such a meeting was chronologically possible. Platos account of Zenos teaching (Parmenides, 128 seq.) is, however, presumably as accurate as it is precise. In reply to those who thought that Parmenidess theory of the existence of the One involved inconsistencies and absurdities, Zeno tried to show that the assumption of the existence of the Many, that is to say, a plurality of things in time and space, carried with it inconsistencies and absurdities grosser and more numerous. In early youth he collected his arguments in a book, which, according to Plato, was put into circulation without his knowledge.

Extractions: THE EPICUREANS Sources . Of the voluminous writings of Epicurus only a few fragments have come down to us, and these are for the most part unimportant. For the history of the school the most important primary source is Lucretius' poem De Rerum Natura . As secondary sources we have the works of Cicero, Plutarch, Diogenes Laertius, and the Aristotelian commentators. History of the Epicurean School Epicurus was born at Samos in the year 341 or 342 B.C. His father, Neocles, was, Strabo tells us, a school teacher. According to the tradition of the Epicurean school, Epicurus was a self-taught philosopher, and this is confirmed by his very superficial acquaintance with the philosophical systems of his predecessors. Still, he must have had some instruction in philosophy, for Pamphilus and Nausiphanes are mentioned as having been his teachers; Epicurus, however, would not acknowledge his debt to them, boasting that he had begun his self-instruction at the age of fourteen, having been driven to rely on his own powers of thought by the inability of his teacher to explain what was meant by the Chaos of Hesiod. He first taught at Mitylene, afterwards at Lampsacus, and finally at Athens, where he established his school in a garden, thereby giving occasion for the name by which his followers were known, . Here he taught until his death, which took place in 270 B.C.

Extractions: you , who fit neither of them, who under the democracy were the most violent hater of the people-and who under the oligarchy have become equally violent as a hater of oligarchical merit? I am, and always have been, Critias, an enemy both to extreme democracy and to oligarchical tyranny. I desire to constitute our political community out of those who can serve it on horseback and with / 70 / heavy armor;-I have proposed this once, and I still stand to it. I side neither with democracy nor despots, to the exclusion of the dignified citizens. Prove that I am now, or ever have been, guilty of such crime, and I shall confess myself deserving of ignominious death." Where was Socrates through all this? There can be little doubt that he was very intimate with the oligarchical leaders, many of whom he had instructed in the notion that only the good and the wise and the true should rule; that government was not an art that could be picked up at random by the "man in the street," but depended on "knowledge, knowledge of ultimate principles of the "good" and the "just,"-knowledge which could only be gained by study and a painful askesis Neither Socrates nor, for that matter, Plato made any at. tempt to conceal their criticisms of Athenian democracy, its de-/ 71 / pendence (as they thought) on the whim of the multitude and the caprice of the lot;" nor did they conceal their preference for Sparta's more aristocratic, oligarchic and servile organization of society." Moreover the essence of Socrates' teaching was, as we have seen, profoundly anti-democratic, striking at the very theoretical roots on which the democratic way of life (even in a slave-owning democracy) was founded. It is only when the logic of political struggle produces a Critias, that such men as Theramenes and Socrates draw back in virtuous horror. However much we may excuse Socrates from any responsibility or sanction of the actual violence committed, we must nevertheless realize that the instinct of the democracy was profoundly right when it saw in him the evil genius behind the scene; the
