philosopher

According to some philosopher, everything in existence is reasonable.

Give us a quote of your favorite philosopher.

The great philosopher Aristotle is generally considered the first person to systematically categorize things.

It had been recognized by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724- that chemical reactions could not supply the tremendous amount of energy flowing from the Sun for more than about a millennium.

In fact, Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, thought the chorus should be considered as acting out a role in the play.

The philosopher Plato (428-348 B.C.) felt that the ideal city-state should have about 5,000 citizens, because to the Greeks it was important that everyone in the community should know each other.

The philosopher Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), who lived at a time when the city-state system was declining, believed that a political entity of 100,000 simply would not be able to govern itself.

The Athenian philosopher Socrates (470-399 B.C.) was the first person in Greece to propose a morality based on individual conscience rather than the demands of the state, and for this he was accused of not believing in the city’s gods and so corrupting the youth, and he was condemned to death.

Now, as to what kinds of knowledge claims are foundational, well, that’s where this gets particularly interesting, in fact it sort of depends on which philosopher you ask.

Now, for a very different view, let’s turn to another philosopher—René Dartes.

That’s a set of rules or maxims a philosopher name H.P .Grice came up with in 1970s.

Professor: OK. Another ancient Greek philosopher we need to discuss is Aristotle—Aristotle’s ethical theory.

The philosophers of Classical Greece recognized it as a defining trait of humans to "delight in works of imitation"—to enjoy the very act and triumph of representation.

While many other observers and thinkers had laid the groundwork for science, Thales (circa 624 B.C.E-ca 547 B.C.E.), the best known of the earliest Greek philosophers, made the first steps toward a new, more objective approach to finding out about the world.

Like most of the great Greek philosophers, Thales had an influence on others around him.

As would later happen between another teacher-student pair of philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, Anaximander disagreed with his teacher despite his respect for him.

He believed, though, that the shape of Earth was that of a cylinder rather than the sphere that later Greek philosophers would conjecture.

Anaximander, observing the motions of the heavens around the polestar, was probably the first of the Greek philosophers to picture the sky as sphere completely surrounding Earth-an idea that, elaborated upon later, would prevail until the advent of the Scientific Revolution in the seventeenth century.

With the door opened by Thales and the other early philosophers of Milestus, Greek thinkers began to speculate about the nature of the universe.

The Greeks, from Thales to Plato and Aristotle, were philosophers and not scientists in today's sense.

Professor: Okay. So, uh, to continue our discussion… When philosophers talk about the basis of knowledge, they don’t mean the source of information about any particular subject.

It was presented in the works of well-known Greek philosophers as early as the fourth century B.C.E., and the geocentric theory continue to prevail in Western thought for almost 2,000 years, until the 17th century.
