Plato was unique, not a typical Greek. It is a big mistake to generalize from the example of Plato to the average Greek, who would have considered Plato an eccentric or even mad nut job.

You've truly outdone yourself with this excellent and educational video!

AI has a thing for Mel Gibson: Every old Greek philosopher looks like him in the movie "The Professor and the Mad Man," by Simon Winchester.

If only we had a time machine. How I would love to go back in time and have a conversation with Socrates.

Many thanks for producing and posting this podcast on KZread, which I think is an excellent introduction to these ground breaking thinkers. And thanks for mentioning that "Plato" was a nickname -- which I have shared with some people, whom seem to distinctly disbelieve me! P.S. Unless I missed it, there is no reference to the incidental / background music. Would you mind posting this info on the podcast "Description"?

Three of the all time greats, but after watching this it seems Socrates is the goat.

Thank you so much for the video I hope people now know who they really are

It's really just called the Philosopher's Stone. It was only ever called the Sorcerer's Stone in the American versions of the first Harry Potter book because they felt that no American kids would know what the Philosopher's Stone was. That being said, the Philosopher's Stone is pretty cool. It's said to be able to turn lead into gold but what most people don't understand is that this is also supposed to affect a change in the soul of the alchemist. Like the dull lead turning into bright gold, the human soul is uplifted when it unites with the divine. That is the true power of the Philosopher's Stone

I disagree. Aristotle was bad for science. Because of his belief that the sun revolves around the earth, many great scientists who disagreed were put on trial and ultimately executed. The church taught the teachings of Aristotle, the church was more powerful than the king so for centuries science was at a stand still. Thanks to Galileos heroism, we have the scientific method. I hate Aristotle and i hate how much credit he gets for being so arrogant.

It's funny that you are praising Diogenes while criticizing Plato when Diogenes was actually a huge fan of Socrates. The big reason why he hated Plato was because he felt he was overcomplicating Socrates' teachings. At the risk of sounding pedantic, I'd like to mention that Aristotle was never Socrates' pupil. He was Plato's pupil. Socrates was long dead by the time Aristotle came on the scene

Socrates worshipped the Greek Gods. He described an encounter he had with local Nymphs, one of the dialogues begins with him attending a festival in honor of the Goddess Bendis, he heeded the command of Apollo to begin the work of becoming a philosopher, and his last words were a request for a friend of his to sacrifice a rooster to Asklepios on his behalf. In fact, Plato even says that Socrates taught that the goal of philosophy was so you can purify your soul to spend time with the Gods for all eternity rather than being stuck in the cycle of reincarnation

Nothing to do with stealing a chicken. It was common to promise the Gods that you would give Them an offering later in exchange for an answered prayer. Clearly Socrates felt that a prayer of his addressed to Asklepios had been answered and he wanted his friend Crito to do the honors on his behalf since he would now be unable to do so. Socrates worshipped the Gods. End of story.

@@wildmen5025 in a way they all matter and in another way Aristotle alone matters. In a way when you consider philosophy with respect to philosophers who are the non-Socratics, the Socratics, i.e. Socrates( who left nothing written), Plato and Aristotle, seem important. Socratics are important as a school. But in an another way when you consider individual philosophers Aristotle seems important. Aristotle is important not as a school but as a individual of a school. The difference is just in the point of view, i.e. which school is important or which philosopher is important.
