“The unexamined life is not worth living. ... Wisdom
begins in wonder. ... There is only one good, knowledge,
and one evil, ignorance.”
(Socrates, 469 - 399 B.C.)
“The philosopher is in love with truth, that is, not with the
changing world of sensation, which is the object of opinion, but with the unchanging reality
which is the object of knowledge.”
(Plato, 429 - 347 B.C.)

“We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act,
but a habit. ... At his best, man is
the noblest of all animals;
separated from law and justice he
is the worst.”
(Aristotle, 384 - 322 B.C.)

THREE TRIUMVIRATE IN ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY
04/11/23 RPC 2013
SOCRATES Socrates: Athens' street-corner
philosopher
Socrates was the big-city philosopher in ancient Athens.
Accused and convicted of corrupting the youth, his only real crime was embarrassing and irritating a number of important people.
His punishment was death.RPCorpuz 2013
Socrates
Socrates didn't write books; he just liked to ask probing and sometimes humiliating questions, which gave
rise to the famous Socratic Method of Teaching.
A man of VIRTUE
Famous quote: "The unexamined life is not worth living." RPCorpuz 2013
PLATO
Plato: The philosopher who would be king
An aristocratic man with plenty of money
the man's real (and little known) name was Aristocles; Plato was just a nickname given to him by his friends, whose original connotation made reference to his broad shoulders.
RPCorpuz 2013
Plato
Plato became an enthusiastic and talented student of Socrates and wrote famous dialogues featuring his teacher verbally grappling with opponents
believed in the pre-existence and immortality of the soul, holding that life is nothing more than the imprisonment of the soul in a body
RPCorpuz 2013
Plato In addition to the physical world,
there is a heavenly realm of greater reality consisting in Forms, Ideals, or Ideas (such as Equality, Justice, Humanity,
He wrote a famous treatise (The Republic) on the ideal society, in which he expressed the thought that a philosopher, of all people, who should be king and so on).

ARISTOTLE
Aristotle: A long walk to the Golden Mean
Aristotle was Plato's best student. He went on to become the very well-paid tutor of Alexander the Great
probably the highest paid philosopher in history
Aristotle started his own philosophical school when he was 50 years old.
RPCorpuz 2013
Aristotle
Although he lived only ten more years, he produced nearly a thousand books and pamphlets, only a few of which have survived.
This great thinker was called a peripatetic philosopher (peripateo = "to walk around") because he liked to lecture to his students while taking a walk
RPCorpuz 2013
Aristotle
A key theme in Aristotle's thought is that happiness is the goal of life. Aristotle was a good deal less other-worldly than Plato
He voluntarily went into exile from Athens when conditions became a bit politically dangerous for him, in his words, "lest Athens sin twice against philosophy.
RPCorpuz 2013
Aristotle
The founder of logical theory, Aristotle believed that the greatest human endeavor is the use of reason in theoretical activity.
One of his best known ideas was his conception of "The Golden Mean" — "avoid extremes," the counsel of moderation in all things.
