I couldn`t agree more. Philosophy and education go hand in hand. Without a philosophical base, education loses its essence. A lovely article, a joy to read.

Dear Zainab, As you`re a student of philosophy, it may be worth exploring the effect of indian philosophies predating Socrates. All these 3 philosophers came just when greeks were very strongly attracted towards all things indian. The indian philosophies had reached that stage of maturity where Gautam could literally ignore God and base his logic purely on a sequence of `cause and effect`. If there is a still bit of mysticism in Buddhism, it was still because of origin of life was still a great mystery. Some other Nastik ( agnostic) philosophers dared extrapolating to a total logic based knowledge. This ofcourse did not support the livelihood of priestly class and hardly had the attractiveness of the `divine` so didnot survive. The concept of `Soul` and many other constructs were proposed by Plato as they were already done in India since 9th century BC.
Cordially. Sharad

Schandra, thankyou for talking about Indian philosophy that i was not even aware of because basically, i am not a student of Philosophy.But, definitely, i will try to study Indian philosophy and may be someday write something about it and relate it to the Greek Philosophy.

peace.

It is an absorbing and impressive essay.I am aso interested in Greek philosophers. Their cotribution to the development of human thought is of lasting value . Someone rightly said that nothing moves in the west that did not move in Greece.
