Philosophy

“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”Aristotle

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." Socrates

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." Plato

Above are the 3 heavy hitters among a huge team of great Greek philosophers. Their names would appear on any Western list of history's most important philosophers.

Here is some information about Greek philosophy. 

1. Which city states did the famous thinkers Aristotle, Plato and Socrates come from?

2. How did they know each other?

3. What is the Socrates Method? What do you feel about this method?

4. Are you a stoic or a peripatetic? (optional question)

5. Who was put to death by the government (by drinking hemlock). Why would he do such a thing?

6. Who wrote The Republic, one of the most important works in philosophy and did much in shaping our sense of justice in the Western World.

7. Who thought the goal in life was to be happy?

Bonus, explain this pun: Icarus told Alexi "Careful, don't fly to close to the pun"
