In Ancient Greece, long before the
word “science” has been coined, the
need to understand the world and
reality was guaranteed with the need
to understand the self and the good
life.

For Plato, the task of understanding


the things in the world runs parallel
with the job of truly getting into what
Figure 1. Plato will make the soul flourish.
OM

According to Plato, there are two aspects of reality,
two worlds if you wish: the world of the matter and
the world of forms

In the world of matter, things are changing and


impermanent.

In the world of forms, the entities are only copies of


the ideal and the models, and the forms are the
only real entities.

However, Plato also claims that despite the reality

of change, things remain, and they retain their


ultimate “whatness”.
For Aristotle, we all want to be happy.
Aristotle claims that happiness is the be-all
and end-all of everything that we do. We may
not realize it but the end goal of everything
that we do is happiness.

Don’t pay
attention to what Stoicism
he’s saying.

It is beyond your To generate happiness, one


control. must learn to distance oneself
and be apathetic.

For the stoics, happiness can


only be attained by a careful
practice of apathy.

Focus on happiness by being

contented and not caring


about what will happen.
Theism

Most people find the meaning


of their lives using God as a
fulcrum of their existence.

The ultimate basis of


happiness for theists is the
communion with God.
OM

Humanism

The freedom of man to carve


his own destiny and to
legislate his own laws, free
from the shackles of a God
that monitors and controls.

Man is literally the captain of


his own ship.
