this is the full history of philosophy both western and eastern philosophy in detailed and year wise tabular view. this is year by year history of philosophy and it is more precise one.
2500 years ago, Athens was a well-known city in ancient Greece where a sloven person stopped people on the way to ask them strange and psychedelic questions. He used to ask people what is truth? What is morality? He not only used to ask questions but also used to incite people to ask questions. He thought people die after living a purposeless and meaningless life besides one-sided thinking. Do you know who this person was? This person was such a brilliant mind who laid down the foundation of philosophy in the West. This person was called Socrates.
What a heart-shattering event happened with Socrates? You will find it later in this post. You should have heard about the names of some great philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Marcus Aurelius, and the list is endless. But when we talk about their philosophies, people become afraid as they think it is difficult to understand them. People can't understand such deep and abstract conversations. Thus, people lose their courage, but you don't need to be afraid. Today, we will take you on a journey of knowledge, wisdom, and intellect that will blow your mind. There is so much learning in the post that you will enjoy. Today, we are going to meet the greatest philosophers in history. It will be a joy ride.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. The Study of Church History
We learn from church history how God’s plan of
redemption has been worked out from the time of
the end of the first century until today
“The events of this world’s history set the stage
upon which the drama of redemption is enacted.”
The sovereignty of God over all of history.
“Remember this and stand firm,recall it to mind,
you transgressors,remember the former things of
old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God,
and there is none like me,declaring the end from
the beginning and from ancient times things not
yet done,saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,and I will
accomplish all my purpose,’calling a bird of prey
from the east, the man of my counsel from a far
country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I
have purposed, and I will do it. (Isa 46:8-11).

1. Definition:
Alexander’s attempt to
convey the Greek ideals
– the emulation of mid-
fifth century Athens
under Pericles; the
promotion of Greek
science, math, art,
literature, and
philosophy.
8. I. The Greek World

Greek religion,
philosophy, and
language
throughout the
region where the
early church
spread.

D. Philosophy
1. Socrates (c. 469-399 BC)
“Socratic method” of questioning
Knowledge is chief virtue
“Correct thoughts lead to correct
acts”
Ethical values associated with
Christianity
Challenged anthropomorphism of
gods
Raised human ethical
responsibility
Influenced Plato and Aristotle
12. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
Plato (c. 427-347)
The doctrine of the two worlds:
The material things around us are
not the ultimate realities; instead
they are the shadows of universals
which exist before and apart from
individual, physical objects. As in
the parable of the people in the
cave seeing shadows cast on the
wall, we comprehend only shadows
and echoes of reality in this world.
13. D. Philosophy
2. Plato (c. 427-347)
b. The immortality and per-existence
of
the soul:
Plato taught the per-existence of souls
and their transmigration, or
reincarnation, after death.
Furthermore, because of his belief
that only the spiritual has
permanence, he affirmed the eternal
death of the body. These tenets of
his doctrine are opposed to Christian
resurrection,but early Christians
pointed to Plato’s assertion of the
immortality of the soul for support of
their hope.
14. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
2. Plato (c. 427-347)
c. Knowledge as reminiscence:
The Platonic doctrine of knowledge is based on a
uncertainty of the senses as the means of attaining
true knowledge. The senses can supply infor-
mation only about objects of this world, not about
ideas. Since true knowledge is only the knowledge
of ideas, Plato taught the theory of reminiscence
whereby the individual “remembered” ideas held
over by the Pre-existent soul. Obviously main-
stream Christianity did not accept per-existence or
reminiscence, but distrust of sensory perception
lingered, especially through Augustine’s theory of
knowledge.
15. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
2. Plato (c. 427-347)
d. The Idea of the Good:
The origin of the world is the work of a divine craftsman,
or deity, that took formless matter and gave it
form, imitating the beauty of the Idea of the Good.
The parallels with Genesis powerfully influenced early
Christian thought. The differentiation between the
Idea of the Good and the craftsman of the universe
established a dichotomy between the Supreme Being
and the Creator, which is entirely foreign to biblical
thought, but which became rooted in the minds of
some scholars who wished to assert the
impassiveness of God simultaneously with his activity
in the world. This source plus Plato’s monotheism led
to a discussion of God that utilized Platonic termin-
ology for the Idea of the Good: God is impassive,
infinite, incomprehensible, and indescribable.
16. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
3. Aristotle (384-322 BC)
a. He rejected Plato’s doctrine of knowledge
by reminiscence and said that learning
comes through experience. Thus, he
pioneered the study of logic and the
sciences of biology, physics, and
psychology.
17. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
3. Aristotle (384-322 BC)
b. Aristotle described the person as a
whole being with integrated body
and soul: the soul does not exist
apart from the body although some
aspect of the soul is not physical and
survives death.
18. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
3. Aristotle (384-322 BC)
c. He affirmed the presence of an
impersonal, ultimate divinity termed the
“Prime Mover,” which was the epitome of
knowledge, actively causing all motion and
passively attracting all objects by its
magnetic, supreme perfection.
19. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
3. Aristotle (384-322 BC)
d. Most of Aristotle’s works were lost to the West
for seven hundred years until the rediscovery of
his works on logic revolutionized Christian
theology in the thirteenth century. Meanwhile,
Plato’s idealistic realism profoundly influenced
the theology of early and medieval Christianity
through Augustine and others. Islam, however,
benefited from Aristotle’s influence on the
sciences and, for a time, outperformed the West
technologically.
20. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
4. Stoicism - Zeno of Citium (c. 342-270 BC)
a. The human soul is a spark of the universal
World Soul, which endues the individual
with personal dignity and joins all
humanity as one family. They championed
slaves and other outcasts of society.
21. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
4. Stoicism - Zeno of Citium (c. 342-270 BC)
b. Salvation for the Stoic came through
proper exercise of reason and will; only
the inner man truly counted.
22. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
4. Stoicism - Zeno of Citium (c. 342-270 BC)
c. Stoics were highly predeterministic,
rejecting Fortune and embracing Fate,
whom they considered to be an expression
of the benevolent World Soul which moved
events toward the best solution for the
common good. Therefore, true virtues were
self-control and duty: to remain unmoved by
the circumstances of life. They held no
doctrine of permanent immortality so what
mattered was living responsibly in this
world.
23. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
4. Stoicism - Zeno of Citium (c. 342-270 BC)
d. Leading Romans embraced Stoic
philosophy, including Cicero and Seneca,
Nero’s tutor Epictetus, and Marcus
Aurelius, who incorporated them into his
Meditations.
24. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
5. Epicurus (341-270 BC)
Pleasure is the chief goal in life and is defined
as the “absence of pain.” Epicurus did not
advocate, however, a life of debauchery. He
taught that physical appetites had to be
satisfied, but only in moderation, and he ranked
spiritual fulfillment above bodily pleasure. He
advocated atheistic materialism: all moral and
ethical relationships were pursued primarily for
personal well-being; also utilitarianism: “What’s
in it for me?”
25. I. The Greek World
D. Philosophy
6. Summary of Philosophy
These philosophers were all preoccupied with
an unsatisfied quest for the purpose of life –
humanity in search of destiny. Most of them
used philosophy as the means to answer the
needs of a society with virtually no moral
foundation and no personal God. The
bankruptcy of philosophy was evident in the fact
that they asked questions for which they had no
answers, but they prepared the way for the Lord
Jesus Christ to answer these needs.
26. E. Summary of Religion and Philosophy
The Greeks described their gods in one of two
ways:
1. Anthropomorphism: Gods were “humans
writ large,” with the same passions and
weaknesses, just greater beings.
2. Logical generalization: Description
depended on logical syllogisms such as:
God is perfect, a perfect being must have
all knowledge; therefore, God must be
omnipotent.
E. Summary of Religion and Philosophy
Both of these descriptions have fatal flaws:
1. Anthropomorphism: This approach concentrated
too much on the desires of humans and blurred
distinctions between the natural and the
supernatural.
2. Logical abstraction: This approach depended on
man’s limited understanding of the universe and
divine purpose. For example, consider this
syllogism: God is perfect, perfect beings do not
suffer; therefore, God cannot suffer. This concept
is erroneous according to the New Testament.
Also consider immutability and the Incarnation.
