Ancient Greek philosophers

Ancient Greek philosophers were thinkers who explored fundamental questions about life, existence, knowledge, ethics, and the universe. Figures like Socrates questioned how we should live, often using dialogue and questioning to seek truth. Plato, his student, imagined perfect ideas or Forms beyond physical reality, shaping ideas of justice and knowledge. Aristotle, a student of Plato, studied a wide range of topics, emphasizing observation and reason to understand the natural world and human nature. Their work laid the foundation for Western philosophy, encouraging critical thinking about ethics, politics, science, and the human experience.
