PHILOSOPHERS
ANCIENT PERIOD
Aristotle
Famous for his writings on physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, linguistics, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoology, he was an extremely learned and educated individual. He is also among the first person to set a comprehensive system of Western philosophy which include views about morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics. This system became the supporting pillar of both Islamic and Christian scholastic thought. It is even said that he was perhaps the last man who had the knowledge of all the known fields at that time. His intellectual knowledge ranged from every known field of science and arts of that era. His writing includes work in physics, chemistry, biology, zoology, botany, psychology, political theory, logic, metaphysics, history, literary theory, and rhetoric. One of his greatest achievements was formulating a finished system also known as Aristotelian syllogistic.
Plato
Plato was a classical Greek philosopher and mathematician, more so known as the student of Socrates and writer of philosophical dialogues. He founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world.
Thales
Thales was a Greek Pre-Socratic philosopher from the Ionian city of Miletus in Asia. He predicted a solar eclipse, according to Herodotus, and was considered one of the 7 ancient Sages. Thales started the field of Greek astronomy and may have introduced geometry into Greece after traveling in Egypt.
Together with Anaximander and Anaximenes, Thales formed the Milesian school of philosophy.
Mencius
Mencius was a famous Chinese philosopher, born in the state of Zou. He was controversially considered the most popular Confucian, after Confucius himself. The philosophy of Mencius is distinguished by idealism and the declaration that the nature of man is basically good.
