Greek Philosophers Cont.

Today in class, we took a 10 question pop quiz on greek mythology, philosophy, and the Persian Wars. I got an 90% because I got one wrong. I'll study more before we take our actual test.
After this, we learned about Aristotle. Aristotle was an Ancient Greek philosopher and a student at Plato's Academy. Aristotle opened his own school after Plato's death, called the Lyceum, where he focused on cooperative research on physics, logic, ethics, theatre, and other subjects.
Aristotle wanted to foster the idea of Athens as an intellectual destination, gathering knowledge from all over the world, and having it easily accessible in one location, similar to the modern internet.
Aristotle was a student of Plato, who was a student and follower of Socrates. Plato wrote about Socrates' trial and execution in Apology, and opened his school, called the Academy, in order to teach students differently than they did in traditional Greek schooling.
