PHILOSOPHY

What is Philosophy? Explores what we don’t know  When answers are found it becomes science The study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence

Why study philosophy? To become trained to think clearly about problems from multiple perspectives To become trained to consider implications of decisions and actions To become trained to anticipate opposing arguments To critically examine your own life and the world you live in

THE BEGINNINGS OF PHILOSOPHY Pre-Socratics

COSMOLOGY

Thales (THAY-leez) Astronomer and expert on managing water Water = liquid, solid and vapor and could explain how reality changes Water must be the basic ingredient in the universe

Anaximander (an-ax-uh-MAN-der) Basic ingredient in the universe is “boundless” Known elements are in opposition to each other – primal substance must be neutral Scientist – drew a map of the known world and invented a sundial People evolved from fish

Anaximenes (an-ax-uh-MEEN-eez) Pupil of Anaximander Air was the primal substance Earth was flat and held together by air

Pythagoras (puh-THAG-or-us) Mathematics - (a²+b²=c²) Transmigration of souls Society of disciples Divine principles of the universe can be expressed in terms of relationships of numbers The secrets of the cosmos are revealed by pure thought, through deduction and analytic reflection on the perceptible world.

Heraclitus and Parmenides

Heraclitus (hare-uh-KLITE-us) Criticized conventional opinions and wise men Everything is in flux and all things are one Nature of things is a formula Influenced other philosophers

Metaphysics concerned with abstract thought or subjects, as existence, connectedness or truth

Parmenides (par-MEN-uh-deez) From cosmological to metaphysical Senses are misleading so we must rely on reason What is and what not is You can’t think of something that doesn’t exist – existence is eternal

Senses can lie …

Empedocles (em-PED-uh-kleez) Fire, air, earth and water Atomism Love and Strife Evolution

Socrates
