This book was released on with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vast tapestry of human history, few threads gleam as brightly as the wisdom woven by the ancient Greek philosophers. Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates stand as luminaries of thought, illuminating the corridors of philosophy with their profound insights and timeless reflections. "Wisdom of the Ancients" invites you to embark on a journey through the intellectual landscapes shaped by these towering figures. Within these pages, you will encounter a treasury of their most poignant and thought-provoking quotations, distilled from millennia of contemplation and discourse. Aristotle, the master of systematic inquiry and empirical observation, beckons us to explore the nature of existence, knowledge, and ethics. His words resonate with a clarity that transcends the ages, offering guiding principles for understanding the complexities of the world around us. Plato, the visionary philosopher and student of Socrates, invites us into the realm of ideas, where truth and beauty intertwine in a dance of eternal forms. Through his dialogues, we glimpse the pursuit of justice, the quest for knowledge, and the yearning for a deeper understanding of the human soul. Socrates, the gadfly of Athens, challenges us to question assumptions, probe the depths of our convictions, and seek wisdom in the face of uncertainty. His Socratic method, a relentless pursuit of truth through dialogue and inquiry, continues to inspire seekers of knowledge and truth across the ages. As you immerse yourself in the wisdom of these ancient philosophers, may you find illumination, inspiration, and perhaps even transformation. For in their words, we discover not only the insights of the past but also the enduring relevance of philosophical inquiry to the human condition. So, let us embark together on this journey through the corridors of antiquity, guided by the luminous wisdom of Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates. May their words ignite the flames of curiosity, ignite the spark of contemplation, and illuminate the path to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world we inhabit. Welcome to "Wisdom of the Ancients: Quotations by Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates.

Book excerpt: Socrates Asks Us All: 'Where Have You Come From - And Where Are You Going?' When the Greek philosopher Socrates asked his student Phaedrus: 'Where have you come from and where are you going?', although it sounds like just a simple greeting between two friends, these two questions are really at the heart of 'real' Socratic philosophy. We all want to know how it is we got here (where did the universe come from and what is our place in it), and we all want to choose the most fulfilling and happiest lives for ourselves in the years ahead. Whether we like it or not, at certain times in our lives we all have to make important Life Choices; and these choices are largely 'philosophical' in nature whether we realise it or not. What goals should I have for my life, and what are the most important criteria when making my own unique Life Choices? These sorts of questions are explored in this book, and to help answer them we will look at some important tips from Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Several of Plato's books are discussed in detail, including: The First Alcibiades, Phaedrus and Phaedo; and some important common themes in Plato are also looked at. Aristotle's 'practical philosophy' about how to improve the way we live, and how to live happier lives (both as individuals and as cities) is also explored. By the end of this book you will have a good idea of who Socrates, Plato and Aristotle really were, and why their 'real' Greek philosophy is so important for us all to know something about today, some 2,400 years after these great philosophers lived. 'Real' Greek philosophy is less about discussing vague abstract ideas, and is much more concerned with how to live our lives 'wisely'. This book offers you a wider perspective on life and encourages you to investigate some fundamental philosophical questions, as you make your own Life Choices and decisions. In Greek philosophy, after thinking things through, we have to take responsibility for our own lives and the decisions we make. The final chapter of the book therefore considers what it means to walk a philosophical path today, which in many ways can be summed up in the important Delphi Message of 'Know Yourself' and 'Live in Moderation'. NOTE: All author profits from royalties for this book in 2019 will go to the registered charities 'The Population and Sustainability Network' (PSN); and 'Praxis' - an NGO that provides basic medical care and support for those most in need in Athens and other parts of Greece. (There is a nice synchronicity where profits from the sales of a book about Socrates' ideas will go in part to support Praxis' work in Athens.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops for the readers Plato’s Socrates’ non-formalized “philosophical practice” of learning-through-questioning in the company of others. In doing so, the writer confronts Plato’s Socrates, in the words of John Dewey, as the “dramatic, restless, cooperatively inquiring philosopher" of the dialogues, whose view of education and learning is unique: (1) It is focused on actively pursuing a form of philosophical understanding irreducible to truth of a propositional nature, which defies “transfer” from practitioner to pupil; (2) It embraces the perennial “on-the-wayness” of education and learning in that to interrogate the virtues, or the “good life,” through the practice of the dialectic, is to continually renew the quest for a deeper understanding of things by returning to, reevaluating and modifying the questions originally posed regarding the “good life.” Indeed Socratic philosophy is a life of questioning those aspects of existence that are most question-worthy; and (3) It accepts that learning is a process guided and structured by dialectic inquiry, and is already immanent within and possible only because of the unfolding of the process itself, i.e., learning is not a goal that somehow stands outside the dialectic as its end product, which indicates erroneously that the method or practice is disposable. For learning occurs only through continued, sustained communal dialogue.

Book excerpt: Aristotle: 1111 Lessons from Grand-Disciple of Socrates The thoughts and words of Aristotle who is one of the greatest intellectual legends of Western history is ever inspirational and influential. Aristotle can be said as an all-rounder in philosophy and his contributions such as his writings in political theory, ethics, philosophy of science and in metaphysics still remain as a powerful tool in the contemporary world and still is a topic of discussion. He is a towering figure in ancient Greek philosophy and was a student of Plato. Aristotle combined his good reasoning and belief in the form of scientific method. He finds the highest element in intellectual virtue. In his work on psychology and soul, Aristotle differentiates sense perception from reason and defines the sense perceptions as the source of all knowledge. The high thinking and perspective of Aristotle have succeeded long and harsh obstacles and criticisms but are still in high demand and influential. The book gives such thoughts of him which truly raise the legendary status of Aristotle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-awaited study of the most enigmatic figure of Greek philosophy reclaims Socrates' ground-breaking originality. Written by a leading historian of Greek thought, it argues for a Socrates who, though long overshadowed by his successors Plato and Aristotle, marked the true turning point in Greek philosophy, religion and ethics. The quest for the historical figure focuses on the Socrates of Plato's earlier dialogues, setting him in sharp contrast to that other Socrates of later dialogues, where he is used as a mouthpiece for Plato's often anti-Socratic doctrine. At the heart of the book is the paradoxical nature of Socratic thought. But the paradoxes are explained, not explained away. The book highlights the tensions in the Socratic search for the answer to the question 'How should we live?' Conceived as a divine mandate, the search is carried out through elenctic argument, and dominated by an uncompromising rationalism. The magnetic quality of Socrates' personality is allowed to emerge throughout the book. Clearly and forcefully written, philosophically sophisticated but entirely accessible to non-specialists, this book will be of major importance and interest to all those studying ancient philosophy and the history of Western thought.

Book excerpt: No matter how you view philosophy, regardless of what you think it is, this series from The Independent will give you a strong sense of the life and work of the very best thinkers in the philosophical neighbourhood, dealing carefully and rationally with the most human of questions, the hardest questions, the questions which matter most. William James, in his last great work Some Problems of Philosophy, wrote that philosophy 'sees the familiar as if it were strange, and the strange as if it were familiar. It can take things up and lay them down again. Its mind is full of air that plays round every subject . It rouses us from our native dogmatic slumber and breaks up our caked prejudices'. This series shows how philosophical argument can be profoundly disconcerting in this way; how it leads people to question everything they thought they knew about existence, knowledge and ethics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Returning from the battle of Potidaea, Socrates reenters the city only to find it changed, with new leadership in the making. Socrates assumes the mask of physician in order to diagnose the city’s condition in the persons of the young and charismatic Charmides and his ambitious and formidable guardian Critias. Beneath the cloak of their self-presentations, Doctor Socrates discovers a profound and communicable disease: their incipient tyranny, “the greatest sickness of the soul.” He thereby is able to “foresee” their future and their role in the oligarchy (The Thirty Tyrants) that overthrows the democracy at the end of the Peloponnesian War. The unusual diagnostic instrument of this physician of the city: the question of sophrosyne (customarily translated as moderation). The analysis of the soul of this popular favorite uncovers a distorted development with little prospect of self-knowledge, and that of the guardian, a profound disabling ignorance, deluded and perverted by his presumed practical wisdom. Alongside on the bench sits Socrates whose ignorance, by contrast, shows itself to be enabling, measured and prospective. In this way, the profound ignorance of the tyrant and the profound ignorance of the philosopher are made to mutually illuminate one another. In the process, Levine brings us to see Plato’s extended apologia or defense of Socrates as “a teacher of tyrants” and his counter-indictment of the city for its unthinking acceptance of its leaders. Moreover, in the face of modern skepticism, we are brought to see how such “value judgments” are possible, how Plato conceives the prospects for practical judgment (phronȇsis). In addition we witness the care with which Plato presents his penetrating diagnoses even amidst compromised circumstances. Levine, further, is at pains to situate the specific dialogic issues in their larger significance for the philosophic tradition. Lastly, the author’s inviting style encourages the reader to think along with Socrates. The question of tyranny is always relevant. The question of our ignorance is always immediate. The conversation about sophrosyne needs to be resumed.
