Columbus was sailing under Spain's flag when he discovered the America's
Its use is not known with certainty and all that we think we know is based on archaeological evidence alone. Some of the seals may have been used as amulets or talismans, but they also had a practical function as a marker for identification. Since writing in ancient times is generally associated with elites trying to record and control transactions, it is also believed that the Indus Script was used as an administrative tool. There are also examples of this script being used on clay tags attached to bundles of goods that were traded between merchants; some of these clay tags have been found in the Mesopotamia region, well outside the Indus Valley, a testimony of how wide goods travelled in ancient times.
All 13 were needed to pass those.
Answer:
Some of the philosopher's theories could be contrary to Greek tradition since they do not follow the dictates of the gods.
Explanation:
Greeks were Pagans, thus philosophers and scientists who had rational ideas were in danger as the centuries changed. They looked for logical answers as opposed to anthropomorphic gods as the creators of the world.
Why should ancient philosophers’ ideas matter in today's world?
It doesn't matter if they should or shouldn't; the reality is that they do.
Here are some of the concepts that, dating back to the Greeks, have influenced the development of philosophy and civilisation (more generally) in the modern and current eras:
- Parmenides: Being: an unchangeable, immutable, continuous reality.
- Heraclitus: The Doctrine of Flux: The world as undergoing ceaseless change
- Democritus: Atomism: Indvisible entities that make up composites, their nature being explained by the difference in the quantitative aspect rather than the qualitative aspect of atoms
- Socrates: The Socratic Method, Conceptual Thinking
- Plato: Idea of Universals
- Aristotle: Logic, Science, Teleology
Both science and philosophy have been impacted by these concepts. Politics and ethics are topics I have not even begun to mention. These concepts continue to be present and addressed. For instance, despite the fact that contemporary science claims to have resolved the issue of teleology once and for all, the topic teleology attempted to address is still open. The Regress Argument is still a difficult concept for us to understand, and contemporary science has yet to discover a set of self-evident fundamental principles that can explain everything.
