"WE SEEK FOR OUR ILLS OTHER THAN GOD CAUSE"

Plato, Athens SV
BC

Our first philosopher to study none other than Plato himself, the first man who realized that society was unfair as it worked.

But first, know what it was the historical context in which Plato developed his philosophy ...

Athens, V century BC

The government of Athens was characterized by a "democracy without representatives." It was democracy in which people "Rules" in a way, having an equality for all citizens: , and rights.

Athens was ruled by the so-called Assembly, where his main duties was to discuss and approve the laws of the city, as well as deciding on peace or war, and election of judges. Of course, only 25% participated population , as women, children, slaves and foreigners were not considered citizens.

Within the Assembly, there was a Boule, who prepared the projects subsequently be discussed in the Assembly. Available in addition to a Executive Council, which played the role of government, implementing the decisions taken in the Assembly.

is at this stage, which takes place the Peloponnesian War, where they face SPARTA VS ATHENS, Athens with its huge naval fleet, characterized by the triremes, and Sparta , characterized by brutal foot soldiers.

Due to a series of political convulsions, of incompetence and leadership struggles between democratic camp and the camp oligarchy, formed these battles.

Unfortunately, after a naval sacking of Athens by Sparta, Athens is infected with a disease, a "plague" unknown, which lost 1 / 3 of the population, so when faced with Sparta, Athens failed regardless of having double walls, the famous galleys, and many domain areas. Their population had dwindled considerably.

After the defeat of Athens, Sparta installed a government called the "Government of the Thirty Tyrants," an oligarchic faction, spread terror and repression led to demácratas. Fortunately, this did not last over half a year, as Thrasybulus, Democratic leader, organized a popular revolt that toppled the government of the Thirty Tyrants ...

Who were the wise men of that time? What Plato thought of them? Our task is to investigate what Plato thought, and what he believed. Were you agree with them? Why?

Chronological We have developed a shaft in order to know the stage of life of every philosopher who influenced Plato, what they thought and what he thought of Plato.

Chronological addition to this axis, we have created a Power Point presentation where much deeper into the theories of each philosopher. From the Sophists, through Plato and all his influences. Enjoy!
