Topic: "Philosophy in Antiquity"

Greek philosophers like Pamenides had an obscure vision of knowledge.Pre-socratic Greeks had a stagnant approach of knowledge instead of discernment of thesis and antithesis.Typification of Democritus reveals him as the one opposed to the pedantic scholastics.Thales,as against these philosophers, showed his penchant for materialism.Anaxagoras transformed the cognitions from the dummy politics into evolutionary thinking.Socrates as opposed to present-day abstruse scholars was a free thinker.Plato favoured epistemology as a preliminary for philosophy but infact fell far short of parctical wisdom.He pondered over the real and abstract natures of man and apparently explained the socio-politics of human life. And Aristotle meditated upon every aspect of human life.They were opposed to the intricate nature of knowledge and proposed refinement of human nature through learning.
