Question

3. Which of the following statements is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

Philosophers valued reason (scientific and logical thinking) over tradition.

Explanation:

The philosophy of ancient Greece includes the set of knowledge and scientific and investigative values of the ancient era, between the 5th century BC and the time of Alexander the Great.

Philosophers began their journey by questioning the sophists and their claims, which they branded as lacking logic. Subsequently, philosophers began to question various claims derived from the Greek religion and cultural traditions, seeking explanations for various natural phenomena that had explanations of a religious nature. Thus, they gained the resentment of many political-religious leaders.

Due to its bias towards cosmology, ancient Greek philosophy contained the beginnings of natural science, which emerged from philosophy much later. Ancient Greek philosophy is fundamental to all Western philosophy.
