The great conversation
Question asked by: solaiman
Asked on: 15 Sep 2010
This is a matter of individual interpretation as the ancients found out a lot about philosophy.
It could be said that the great things they looked at were:
What the world is composed of: atoms or the four elements of water, wind, earth and fire; the debate around this.
Secondly around whether the world is really there or not, and whether we see the world as it is or an imperfect copy: realism, anti-realism, and so on.
Thirdly important contributions were made to the basis of maths by the first philosophers.
