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.
Etruscan civilization - of the Roman Republic. Etruscans were a non-Indo-European folk who inhabited northern and central Italy before 800 BC. Some scholars believed they migrated from the eastern steppes; Herodotus records the legend that they came from Lydia, which has support from non-Greek inscriptions found on the island of Lemnos that appear to be in a language related to Etruscan, and have been dated to the sixth century BC. During the 700s BC, the Etruscans developed into a series of autonomous city-states: Arretium (Arezzo), Caisra (Caere or modern Cerveteri), Clevsin (Clusium or modern Chiusi), Curtun (modern Cortona), Perusna (Perugia), Fufluna or Pupluna (Populonia), Veii, Tarchna (Tarquinii or modern Tarquinia-Corneto), Vetluna (Vetulonia), Felathri (Volaterrae or modern Volterra), Velzna (Volsinii or modern day Bolsena), and Velch (Vulci or modern day Volci). Etruscan influence also developed.
Euripides - Athens, along with Aeschylus and Sophocles; he was the youngest of the three and was born c. 480 BC. His mother's name was Cleito, and his father's either Mnesarchus or Mnesarchides. There is a tradition that states Cleito earned an income by selling herbs in the marketplace; Aristophanes found this to be a source of amusement and used it in many comedies. However, there is significant evidence which leads most to believe that Euripides' family was quite comfortable financially, and wouldn't have needed such a source of income. According to ancient sources, he wrote over 90 plays, 19 of which are extant, although it is widely believed by scholars that the play Rhesus was actually written by someone else. Fragments of most of the other plays survive, some of them substantial..
Anaxagoras - of Argos, see Anaxagoras (mythology). Anaxagoras, Greek philosopher, was born probably about the year 500 BC (Apollodorus ap. Diog. Laert. ii. 7.). At his native town of Clazomenae in Asia Minor, he had, it appears, some amount of property and prospects of political influence, both of which he surrendered, from a fear that they would hinder his search after knowledge. Nothing is known of his teachers; there is no reason for the theory that he studied under Hermotimus of Clazomenae, the ancient miracle-worker. In early manhood (c. 464-462 BC) he went to Athens, which was rapidly becoming the headquarters of Greek culture. There he is said to have remained for thirty years. Pericles learned to love and admire him and the poet Euripides derived from him an enthusiasm for science and.
Archidamus II - was a king of Sparta who reigned from approximately 469 BC to 427 BC. He was of the Eurypontid house. His father was Zeuxidamus, (called Cyniscus by many Spartans) who died before his father, Leotychidas II, after having his son, Archidamus. Leotychides, when Zeuxidamus was taken from him, married a second wife, named Eurydame, the sister of Menius and daughter of Diactorides. By her he had no male offspring, but only a daughter called Lampito, whom he gave in marriage to his grandson Archidamus. Archidamus II ascended the throne after his grandfather, Leotychidas II, was banished around 476 BC after being accused of bribery. Archidamus was one of the kings of Sparta in the years preceding the Peloponnesian War. His coolness and presence of mind are said to have saved the.
Archytas - Archytas Archytas (428 BC - 347 BC), was a Greek philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, statesman, strategist and commander-in-chief. Archytas was born in Tarentum, Magna Graecia (now Italy) and was the son of Mnesagoras or Histiaeus. He was taught for a while by Philolaus and he was a teacher of mathematics to Eudoxus of Cnidus. He was scientist of the Pythagorean school, famous as the intimate of end of Plato. His and Eudoxus' student was Menaechmus. Sometimes he is believed to be the founder of mathematical mechanics. According to Eutocius Archytas solved the problem of duplicating the cube in his manner with a geometric construction. Hippocrates of Chios before reduced this problem to finding mean proportionals. Archytas' theory of proportions is treated in the book VIII. of Euclid's Elements. The.
Archons of Athens - and were in charge of the Boule and Ekklesia. There were two other archons each year, the Polemarch (until 501 BC when this position was replaced with 10 strategoi), and the Basileus, the ceremonial remnant of the Athenian monarchy. Six other men, the Thesmothetai, also served as assistants to the archons. These men are listed, where known. The Eponymous Archon gradually lost power as well, but remained as a ceremonial post. Years where the name of the archon is unknown are identified as such. Years listed as "anarchy" mean that there was literally "no archon." There are various conflicting reconstructions of lists; sources for this list are given at the end. Note that the term of an archon covered two of our years, beginning in the spring or summer and continuing.
