What Does Philosphy Mean To Me
1. Philosphy is the "love of wisdom" in a systematic way. It categorized the various sapects of the world and their relation to it. With Philosphy, comes philosophers who studied to understand the important truths about themselves, the world we live in, and their relationship to it.They based their arguements not on faith or emotion but on logic nad reasoning. The greeks were the first to practice philosphy and nothing identified the rise of Ancient Greece as a civilization than its love of pure thought.
2. The meaning of life to me is to live with happiness and know you have a purpose. Many humans base their belief off of religion and values but I solely base mine off of purpose. I strongly believe that you should make the best of everything in life. Whether its a situation or its to see the good in everything that life has to offer you. I also believe that whether you choose to make a difference in your own life, someone elses, educate others or just work hard, than you have the ability to give your life meaning.

Socrates.

4.He believed a life directed by a reasoned pursuit of moral perfection led to happiness.
5.He is only known through platos dialougue because he was sentenced to death in 399 BCE after being put on trial for corruption of the youth but when given the chance to escape he chose death over exile.
Plato.
1.He was student of socrates, and his birth name was Aristocles , Plato was given to him in his school days from the greek word platon,which means broad, because of his broad shoulders.
2.he was trained in poetry and warfare but he was more interested in politics and philosphy, he was on a search for truth.
3. he believed human beings should be less concerend with the material objects of the world and more with the spiritual realm of perfect forms.
4.He was born in 347 BCE in Athens, where he was raised, lived, worked, philosphized and died.
5. Plato proposed the division of society in 3 layers, each with which reflects one aspect of the soul. the bottom is the workers, above the workers is the soldiers, and at the very top above the soldiers, is the philosphers.
Aristotle.
1.Studied in Platos school Academy of the Athens for 20 years until he established his own school in Assas and Lesbos, and then in Athens where he taught under a covred walkway.
2. He was the teacher of ALexander the Greatand privately tutored him from 343 until 336 BCE.
3.He was best known for being hte "father of science"and was fascinated by animaln and plant life. one quarter of Aristotles writing categorizes nature.

5. He was recognized as having set the standards for literary appreciation as his insights have remained important than 2,000 years.
4. If i could ask each philospher on question i would ask Socrates his feelings/opinions on getting out on trialand sentenced to death for corrupting the youth and getting senteced to death. I would ask im this because he seemed to believe in what he was teaching and worked really hard to get, only to get killed for.I could not imagine beliving in something so stronglyand others wanting you dead for it. I would ask plato why he belived there needed to be three different levels of society? i would aski him this because i believe everyone should be treated and looked at as equals no matter where they fall on the social scale. noone is better than anyonebecause of the people they talk to or the money they make. i would as Aristotle where he got him ideas of ethics from. i only ask him this because the book states that he clearly different from his predeccessors, so where would he get such a different idea of ethics from, was he tought it by a different teacher or by his parents maybe.
5.Racism and discrimination are a major global problem to me, Racism is used to put hatred or fear on someone for their culture, beliefs, or color of their skin.
i believe that racism is being brought out more and more everyday by society alone. Racism alone can cause major probkems and serious consequences(in example: ferguson riots) but when you get others involved including media, its brought out to be bigger than what it is. I believe we all belong to one race, no matter what you belive in, the color of your skin, or the culture your form and thats the human race. I feel as human beings we have been unable to se and experience th uniqueness of different ethnic groupd because fear and discrimintaion has taken control. This is a serious problem thats not only going on in america, but the middle east, africa, europe and australia, that many seen scared to discuss. If we all just accepted eachother for who we are, we could minimize racism all over the
world.
