Megarian school

The Megarian school was a philosophical movement in ancient Greece, founded around the 4th century BCE by Euclid of Megara. Its thinkers focused on logic, ethics, and the nature of existence. They believed in the importance of dialectical reasoning, engaging in discussions to uncover truths. The Megarians were known for their paradoxes, bringing attention to concepts of contradiction and reality. Notably, they influenced later philosophical developments, including Stoicism and logic. Their emphasis on defining concepts and logical rigor laid groundwork for future philosophical inquiry, particularly in ethics and the nature of knowledge.
