History of philosophy - Rene Descartes, John Locke, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant. Nineteenth-century philosophy is often treated as its own period, as it was dominated by post-Kantian German and idealist philosophers like Georg Hegel, Karl Marx, and F. H. Bradley; other important thinkers were John Stuart Mill, Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche. Contemporary Philosophy For much of the twentieth century, philosophy ran along two fairly independent - and not infrequently antagonistic - streams, roughly corresponding with whether the philosopher in question belonged to the English-speaking world - the British Isles, North America, Australasia - or continental Europe. The former approaches, which began with mathematical logic, continued through logical positivism and later linguistic philosophy and ordinary language philosophy, were broadly dubbed "analytic philosophy," interchangeably with "Anglo-American philosophy." The latter, which initially consisted mainly in phenomenology.
Hygieia - since at least the seventh century BCE, she did not begin to spread out until the Oracle at Delphi recognized her, and after the devastating Athens plague in 429 and 427 BCE and in Rome in 293 BCE. Her primary temples were in Epidaurus, Corinth, Cos and Pergamon. Pausanias remarked that, at the asclepieion of Titane in Sikyonia (founded by Alexanor, Asclepius' grandson), statues of Hygieia were covered by women's hair and pieces of Babylonian clothes. According to inscriptions, the same sacrifices were offered at Paros. Ariphron, a Sikyonian artist from the fourth century BCE wrote a well-known hymn celebrating her. Statues of Hygieia were creaed by Skopas, Bryaxis and Timotheos, amng others. She was often depicted as a young woman feeding a large snake that was wrapped around her body..
Gaius Servilius Ahala - He was said to have saved Rome from Spurius Maelius in 439 BC, by killing him with a dagger concealed under an armpit. However, this was likely an aetological myth invented to explain the Servilian cognomen "Ahala"/"Axilla", which means "armpit" and is likely of Etruscan origin. The fasti list a "C. Servilius Structus Ahala" as consul in 478 BC, and so another version of the myth made Servilius Master of Horse acting on the orders of Cincinnatus. Livy (bks. 4 and 5) also mentions Servilius serving as consul (427 BC) and as military tribune several times, the last in 402 BC, but the randomness of Servilius' appearances is one of the points that cast doubt on his historicity. Plutarch life of Brutus says that Brutus' mother Servilia was a descendant of.
Gorgias - Gorgias Gorgias (c. 483-375 BC), Greek sophist and rhetorician, was a native of Leontini in Sicily. In 427 he was sent by his fellow-citizens at the head of an embassy to ask Athenian protection against the aggression of the Syracusans. He subsequently settled in Athens, and supported himself by the practice of oratory and by teaching rhetoric. He died at Larissa in Thessaly. His chief claim to recognition consists in the fact that he transplanted rhetoric to Greece, and contributed to the diffusion of the Attic dialect as the language of literary prose. He was the author of a lost work On Nature or the Non-existent, the substance of which may be gathered from the writings of Sextus Empiricus, and also from the treatise (ascribed to Theophrastus) De Melisso, Xenophane,.
