ATHENS & PHILOSOPHY The city where philosophy became itself. It nurtured: Anaxagoras ( ) Aristotle ( ) Socrates ( ) Diogenes the Cynic ( ) Plato ( ) Zeno the Stoic ( ) Aristippus the Cyrenaic ( ) Epicurus ( ) The Birth of Greek Philosophy Aristophanes and Greek Comedy CAMS 499: The playwright parodied intellectual culture, new thinkers, political decision-making, democratic foibles, and his comrades in tragedy and philosophy. How does this public literature give Athenians, and us, an education in critical awareness? PHL 499: What were the nature- philosophers (phusikoi) aiming to learn, how did they differ from the Hellenic sages (sophoi), what happened when everyone moved to Athens, and did ethical thought really start with Socrates?
