ESSAY ON: Knowledge versus Myth: The Greek Philosophers

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. Discusses work by Aristotle, Socrates and Plato and their thoughts on the worthiness of knowledge and logic as opposed to the beliefs associated with myth or superstition. The great philosophers of ancient Greece were very steeped in the science defining the world. They found no place for the unknown, that is, the belief in those things that could not be seen, felt or proven by scientific means. Today’s beliefs in things unseen would seem foolish in their eyes. Not content to blindly believe in that which he could not prove, Aristotle was considered one of the greatest thinkers of all time. We know that Aristotle was a great proponent of science and he believed all things could be explained with a scientific idea. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
