        The busts of Greek Philosophers

        The busts of Greek Philosophers

      • From Thales, who is often considered the first Western philosopher, to the Stoics and Skeptics, ancient Greek philosophy opened the doors to a particular way of thinking that provided the roots for the Western intellectual tradition. Here, there is often an explicit preference for the life of reason and rational thought. We find proto-scientific explanations of the natural world in the Milesian thinkers, and we hear Democritus posit atoms—indivisible and invisible units—as the basic stuff of all matter.

      • Map of the Argonauts route

        The Argonauts' route from Greece to Colchis is, with few exceptions, remarkably consistent across the Greek poets and historians. By contrast, the Argonauts' return route has been the subject of a bewildering array of interpretations, largely due to the changing Greek understanding of geography and the complications greater knowledge caused when trying to map a myth developed in an age of ignorance onto real terrain that rarely matched the speculation of the ancient bards.



      • The earlier philosophers made frequent use of concepts like reductio ad absurdum in their discussions, but never truly understood the logical implications.
