Plotinus (Stanford Encyclopedia Of Philosophy)
Life and work of this founder of Neoplatonism; by Lloyd Gerson from the Stanford Encyclopedia.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/plotinus/

Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free First published Mon Jun 30, 2003; substantive revision Fri Sep 5, 2008 th Owing to the unusually fulsome biography by Plotinus' disciple Porphyry, we know more about Plotinus' life than we do about most ancient philosophers'. The main facts are these. Plotinus was born in Lycopolis, Egypt in 204 or 205 C.E. When he was 28, a growing interest in philosophy led him to the feet of one Ammonius Saccas in Alexandria. After ten or eleven years with this obscure though evidently dominating figure, Plotinus was moved to study Persian and Indian philosophy. In order to do so, he attached himself to the military expedition of Emperor Gordian III to Persia in 243. The expedition was aborted when Gordian was assassinated by his troops. Plotinus thereupon seems to have abandoned his plans, making his way to Rome in 245. There he remained until his death in 270 or 271. Porphyry informs us that during the first ten years of his time in Rome, Plotinus lectured exclusively on the philosophy of Ammonius. During this time he also wrote nothing. Porphyry tells us that when he himself arrived in Rome in 263, the first 21 of Plotinus' treatises had already been written. The remainder of the 54 treatises constituting his

Greek Philosophy For Kids
Greek Philosophy for Kids Why are Greek philosophers so famous?
http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/greeks/philosophy/

Extractions: Greek Philosophy for Kids - Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle explained so you can understand them Greek Philosophy Ancient Greek philosophy is dominated by three very famous men: Socrates Plato , and Aristotle . All three of these lived in Athens for most of their lives, and they knew each other. Socrates came first, and Plato was his student, around 400 BC . Socrates was killed in 399 BC , and Plato began his work by writing down what Socrates had taught, and then continued by writing down his own ideas and opening a school. Aristotle , who was younger, came to study at Plato's school, and ended up starting his own school as well. In the years after Plato and Aristotle died, in the 200's BC , three famous kinds of philosophy started up in the schools that Plato and Aristotle had started. These are the Stoics , the Skeptics , and the Epicureans . Each of these continued to be important ways of thinking about the world all the way through the Roman Empire , until people converted to Christianity in the 300's AD , and even after that.
Episteme And Techne (Stanford Encyclopedia Of Philosophy)
Discussion of the distinction between knowledge and craft, or art in ancient philosophy; by Richard Parry.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/episteme-techne/

Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free First published Fri Apr 11, 2003; substantive revision Sun Oct 28, 2007 is the Greek word most often translated as knowledge, while and . As we move chronologically from Xenophon to Plotinus, we go from an author who does not distinguish between the two terms, to an author who has little use for because it is so far from reality. It is in Aristotle that we find the basis for something like the modern opposition between as pure theory and as practice. Yet even Aristotle refers to or craft as itself also that is informed by knowledge of forms. In the Republic this knowledge is the indispensable basis for the philosophers' craft of ruling in the city. Picking up another theme in Plato's dialogues, the Stoics develop the idea that virtue is a kind of or craft of life, one that is based on an understanding of the universe. The relation, then, between and in ancient philosophy offers an interesting contrast with our own notions about theory (pure knowledge) and (experience-based) practice. There is an intimate positive relationship between and , as well as a fundamental contrast.

Presocratic Philosophy Of Ancient Greece
Biographies of the Pre-Socratics from Thales to Democritus
http://www.thebigview.com/greeks/

Extractions: Greek Philosophy Astonishing advances in art, science and politics were made in the eastern part of the Mediterranean sea about 2,500 years ago. Greek philosophers were among the first in the West to explore nature in a rational way and to make educated guesses about the creation of the world and the universe. This is why Greece is often referred to as the birthplace of Western culture. Some of the ancient philosopher's speculations have successfully anticipated findings of 20th century science. The concept of atoms, for example, was first formulated by Leucippus and Democritus around 400 BC. Greek thought and values have been extremely influential throughout centuries and lasted until the present day. The ancient Greeks viewed the world in a way that one would today perhaps describe as "holistic". Science, philosophy, art and politics were interwoven and combined into one worldview. Moreover, those who look carefully will find subtle, but intelligible parallels between early Greek philosophy and Eastern thought. The Heraclitean fire resembles Buddhist impermanence, while the Greek Logos resembles the way of the Tao, just to name two examples. More detailed portraits of Greek ideas and their contenders can be found on the following pages; so read on and find out more about them.

Greek Philosophy
The Origin of Philosophy The Attributes of Mythic/Mythopoeic Thought - How was Greek philosophy different from what came before? Or was it different?
http://www.friesian.com/greek.htm

Extractions: The Origin of Philosophy: The Attributes of Mythic/Mythopoeic Thought The pioneering work on this subject was The Intellectual Adventure of Ancient Man, An Essay on Speculative Thought in the Ancient Near East by Henri Frankfort, H.A. Frankfort, John A. Wilson, Thorkild Jacobsen, and William A. Irwin (University of Chicago Press, 1946, 1977 also once issued by Penguin as Before Philosophy ). Related ideas can also be found in Henri Frankfort's great Ancient Egyptian Religion How was Greek philosophy different from what came before? Or was it different? Even though "philosophy" is a Greek word, from , "to love," and , "wisdom," perhaps it was just a continuation of how people had always thought about things anyway. After all, it is not uncommon now for items of Egyptian literature, like the Instruction of Ptah.h.otep , to be listed as Egyptian "philosophy." So if Greek philosophy is to be thought of as different, there must be ways of specifying that difference. Similarly, if Greek philosophy is to be compared with Indian and Chinese philosophy, there must be something that they have in common, and that can be mutually contrasted with pre-philosophical thought. As it happens, Greek philosophy, and Indian and Chinese

http://www.uni.edu/holland/historyofphilosophyancient.html

Extractions: The discipline we know as 'Philosophy' finds its source in thinkers who lived in Greece after the 7th century B.C. Our first goal in this course will be to begin to understand the types of questions about the world, nature, and reality that were asked in the 7 th , 6th and 5th centuries B.C. by thinkers now known as 'pre-Socratics.' We will then examine the role of Socrates in turning attention from physical nature and the cosmos toward human life and conduct. Plato continued Socrates's project and developed a metaphysical system to support the claims made by Socrates about what constitutes a good human life. By reading Plato's Republic students will have the opportunity to study Plato's metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and politics. This work is the first presentation of a complete philosophical system in Western history. Following the Republic , we will read sections of Aristotle's work selected so as to show students his response to earlier thinkers, as well as his own approach to philosophy that is both unique and a continuation of what preceded him.

Ancient Roman Philosophy - Crystalinks
Overview of ancient Roman philosophy by Richard Hooker.
http://www.crystalinks.com/romephilosophy.html

Extractions: The single most important philosophy in Rome was Stoicism, which originated in Hellenistic Greece. The contents of the philosophy were particularly amenable to the Roman world view, especially since the Stoic insistence on acceptance of all situations, including adverse ones, seemed to reproduce what the Romans considered their crowning achievement: virtus, or "manliness," or "toughness." The centerpiece of Stoic philosophy was the concept of the logos. The universe is ordered by God and this order is the logos , which means "rational order" or "meaning" of the universe. After the death of Zeno of Citium, the Stoic school was headed by Cleanthes and Chrysippus, and its teachings were carried to Rome in 155 by Diogenes of Babylon. There its tenets were made popular by Panaetius, friend of the great general Scipio Aemilianus, and by Posidonius, who was a friend of Pompey (see your textbook if you don't recognize these names); Cicero drew heavily on the works of both. Stoic ideas appear in the greatest work of Roman literature, Vergil's

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Philosophy/Ancient_Political_Philos

Extractions: From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection Introduction to Philosophy This page may need to be reviewed for quality. Jump to: navigation search Introduction to Philosophy Ancient Political Philosophy , whose major representatives are Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, is an inquiry into the nexus of arete (excellence, virtue) and politics. In other words, it emphasizes the connection between ethics as the care of the soul and politics as the care of the polis (city, state). Perhaps the most important work of ancient political philsophy is Plato's Republic , a dialogue in which Socrates discusses the ideal city-state with other guests at the house of his friend Cephalus. This dialogue is the source of the idea that the state should be ruled by philosopher-kings, a specially trained class which has demonstrated their ability through a lifetime of musical, philosophical, military, and political training. It is also notable for its criticism of democracy: despite the modern enthusiasm for democracy and the democracy present in Athens at the time of its writing, Socrates lists democracy as the second worst of the four non-ideal forms of government. Another well-known work is Aristotle's Politics. Retrieved from " http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Philosophy/Ancient_Political_Philosophy
EAWC Anthology: Ennead I.6 [1], On Beauty
Ancient World Cultures series provided by the University of Evansville.
http://eawc.evansville.edu/anthology/beauty.htm

Extractions: Plotinus / Translated by Stephen MacKenna 1. Beauty addresses itself chiefly to sight; but there is a beauty for the hearing too, as in certain combinations of words and in all kinds of music, for melodies and cadences are beautiful; and minds that lift themselves above the realm of sense to a higher order are aware of beauty in the conduct of life, in actions, in character, in the pursuits of the intellect; and there is the beauty of the virtues. What loftier beauty there may be, yet, our argument will bring to light. What, then, is it that gives comeliness to material forms and draws the ear to the sweetness perceived in sounds, and what is the secret of the beauty there is in all that derives from Soul? Is there some One Principle from which all take their grace, or is there a beauty peculiar to the embodied and another for the bodiless? Finally, one or many, what would such a Principle be? Consider that some things, material shapes for instance, are gracious not by anything inherent but by something communicated, while others are lovely of themselves, as, for example, Virtue. The same bodies appear sometimes beautiful, sometimes not; so that there is a good deal between being body and being beautiful.
