systems of logic and philosophy.
Socrates always emphasized the importance of the mind over
the relative unimportance of the human body.

because he recognized “The more I know, the more I do not know”.
An unexamined life is not worthliving.

B. PLATO
He was a student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle.
He founded the Academy in Athens.
He was an idealist.
His work on the use of reason to develop a more fair and just
society that is focused on the equality of individuals
established the foundation for modern democracy.
He claimed that knowledge gained through the senses is no more than opinion and that,
in order to have real knowledge, we must gain it through philosophical reasoning.
Know yourself.
Constant struggle for human in discovering the reality of the world while balancing what
you know to be true, and what the physical world is showing you to be true.

C. ARISTOTLE
He focused on systematic concept of logic.
Objective was to come up with a universal process of reasoning
that would allow man to learn every conceivable thing about
reality.
He was a realist.
The golden mean: living a moral life is the ultimate goal.

MEDIEVAL PHILOSOPHY

Christian Era
For most Medieval Scholars, they believed that God created the universe according to
geometric and harmonic principles, science- particularly geometry and astronomy- was
linked directly to the divine.
To seek the principles, therefore would be to seek God.
Origen of Alexandria firmly believed that the knowledge of the good (God) is itself
enough to remove all taint of sin and ignorance from souls.
St. Anselm defended the existence of God thru reason.
St. Augustine argued, must really exist, for the very idea of such a being implies it
existence.
