Greek Philosophy throughout the Generations

               Greek philosophy was used as a way for society to communicate and share their way to make sense out of the world. It brought new ideas to the table and allowed society to evolve. A great example would be Socrates (470/469-399 B.C.E), Aristotle (384–322 B.C.E.), and Plato (427-347 B.C.E). Socrates was an amazing philosopher who shared his findings and ideas to his students. He had an unique way of teaching where instead of giving his students long lectures and lessons about philosophy he asked them thought-provoking questions.

               Socrates' method clearly worked because Plato ended up following in his teacher's footsteps and basically dedicated his life to learning and teaching virtue, justice, and human behavior. He then passed on his own knowledge of philosophy to his students, and one of his students happened to be Aristotle. And of course Aristotle turned out to be an amazing Greek philosopher himself who is credited with developing the study of logic and foundation of zoology! This just goes to show how Greek philosophy led to the sharing of knowledge between philosophers, who then passed it on to their students.

               This great idea of communication between society triggered by Greek philosophy influenced and greatly inspired other Greek philosophers to make brilliant new ideas. In order words, their communication of passing on their knowledge of philosophy to the next generation influenced other great Greek philosophers, who then became great Greek philosophers themselves and contributed to the development of society’s idea of life itself.
