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.

Chapter 9. France
I found the answer under the “Recommended things to see” section. Since Paris is in France, and tourist attractions would be things to see, Chapter 9 France is the correct choice.
B. The Sedition act was to restrict what people said about the government in order to not be portrayed as a bad image.
Hope this helps!
The correct answer is Rome, Italy. This is because although the name comes from the 19th century, the road system was used as far as 2 BC, meaning that Rome was a great empire then and there is even a saying that all roads lead to Rome. Of course it's different nowadays, but at that point in time it connected those two cities, Chang'an and Rome.
The African Nation that has been independent is Ethiopia.
