| NOTES: |
The Rise of Greek Civilization (30:00) Democracy and philosophy arose from a collection of Greek cities at the edge of the civilized world. Weber discusses the ILIAD, the Odyssey, and the Polis, all central to Greek life, social organization, and thought. The Parthenon and the sculptures of Praxiteles are mentioned. Greek Thought (30:00) Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle laid the foundations of Western intellectual thought, and their ideas are still debated today. Also covered are the Sophists, the Peloponnesian War and changes in the Greek city-state. |
