Greek Philosophy 希腊哲学The Greek people’s curiosity about things and their nature cultivated their desire to search, doubt, speculate, imagine and form new ideas. Imagination is not science, but it is the foundation of science and base of philosophy. So, the Greeks developed theories and ideas about the universe and its operation.希腊人民对事物和自然的好奇心培养了他们寻找、怀疑、推测、想象和形成新思想的欲望。
想象不是科学，但它是科学的基础哲学的本质和基础。
因此，希腊人发展了关于宇宙及其运行的理论和思想。
1) Pythagoras毕达哥拉斯Pythagoras [pai'θærs] (毕达哥拉斯, ca. 580 B.C.-500 B.C.), founder of scientific mathematics, is one of the early philosophers who thought boldly about the universe. In his eyes, only numbers spoke and all things in the world were numbers. He used numbers to understand the world and the universe. He put forward the following concepts: point, line, magnitude, surface, body and proportion. He had his own view on beauty, finding the circle or a round object to be the most beautiful thing. This idea influenced many writers and poets who made very good use of this theory in their literary creation.科学数学的创始人，是早期大胆思考宇宙的哲学家之一。
在他眼里，只有数字在说话世界上所有的东西都是数字。
他用数字来了解世界和宇宙。
他提出了以下概念：点、线、大小、表面、身体和比例。
他有他的自己对美的看法，发现圆圈或圆形物体是最美丽的东西。
这一思想影响了许多作家和诗人，他们在文学创作中很好地运用了这一理论。
2) Heraclitus赫拉克利特Heraclitus [herə'klaitəs] (赫拉克利特, also spelt as Heracleitus ca. 540 B.C.-480 B.C.) is remembered for his three theories: the theory of fire, the theory of change and the theory of harmony.赫拉克利特，他的三大理论：火论、变化论和和谐论被人们铭记。
To him, among the four elements, fire was the main element of the universe and the base of everything. His theory of change is still instructive. He maintained that all things change and nothing are still. He believed that “No man ever steps in the same river twice.” Even Marxist ['mɑrksɪst] theory of change is in accordance with the idea of Heracleitue. This best serves the theory of development. His theory of harmony insists that harmony is achieved in the process of solving problems. Problem solving leads to harmony.对他来说，在四种元素中，火是宇宙的主要元素，也是一切的基础。
他的变革理论仍然具有指导意义。
他坚持认为一切都会改变，什么都不是仍然是。
他认为“没有人会在同一条河里走两次。
”即使是马克思主义的变革理论也符合赫拉克利图的思想。
这最符合发展理论.他的和谐理论坚持认为，和谐是在解决问题的过程中实现的。
问题解决导致和谐。
3) Democritus德谟克利特Democritus [di'mkritəs] (德谟克利特, ca. 460 B.C.-370 B.C.) is one of the earliest philosophical materialists. He was one of the earliest philosophers to focus on the speculation of the atomic structure of matter. Karl Marx [klmks] made a very deep and systematic study of his materialist philosophy.德谟克利特，是最早的哲学唯物主义者之一。
他是最早关注原子结构是物质的推测的哲学家之一。
卡尔·马克思对他的唯物主义哲学进行了非常深入和系统的研究。
4) Socrates苏格拉底Socrates ['skrəti:z] (苏格拉底, ca. 470 B.C.-399 B.C.) is often mentioned along with Plato and Aristotle ['æristɔtl] whenever people talk about ancient Greek philosophy and thought for their teacher-student relationship between Socrates and Plato, and between Plato and Aristotle. They were all great masters in the field of philosophy. In terms of teaching methodology, it is Socrates who invented the teaching method of an interrogative and interactive approach in the same manner as Confucius [kən'fju:ʃjəs] did when he taught his disciples.苏格拉底，每当人们为他们的老师而谈论古希腊哲学和思想时，人们常提到柏拉图和亚里士多德苏格拉底和柏拉图之间的关系，柏拉图和亚里士多德之间的关系。
他们都是哲学领域的伟大大师。
在教学方法论方面，是苏格拉底发明了一种疑问和互动方法的教学方法，就像孔子在教导他的门徒时所做的那样。
The story of Socrates is recorded by Plato in his Dialogues (《对话集》). Socrates is famous for his dialectical method. It is a method of argumentation by questions and answers. Socrates often asked people to express their own ideas on one question. He would correct others mistake by telling them the reasons why they were mistaken and illogical. This is what we call the dialectical method. In this way, he made his viewpoint clear. But in doing so, he offended many people and caused him disaster. At the age of seventy, he was put to death for his atheism and a crime of misleading the youth which harmed the state. He made a very good speech on death which to him was but a dream and returning home. Socrates held that death is but a change and migration of the soul from this world to another. This idea influenced many people and writers.柏拉图的《对话》（《对话集》）记录了苏格拉底的故事.苏格拉底以他的辩证法而闻名。
是一种通过问答进行论证的方法。
苏格拉底经常问人们在一个问题上表达自己的想法。
他会纠正别人的错误，告诉他们错误和不合逻辑的原因。
这就是我们所说的辩证法。
用这种方式，他说得很清楚。
但在这样做的过程中，他得罪了许多人，给他造成了灾难。
七十岁时，他因无神论和误导青年伤害了国家而被处死。
他在死亡问题上讲得很好，这对他来说只是一个梦，回到了家。
苏格拉底认为，死亡只是灵魂从这个世界向另一个世界的变化和迁移。
这个思想影响了许多人和作家。
5) Plato柏拉图Plato ['pleitəu] (柏拉图, ca. 428 B.C.-348 B.C.), as the disciple of Socrates, made his greatest contribution to the world in writing the Dialogues, a collection of Socrates’ life and ideas, much like the Analects in which Confucius’ teach ing and his dialogues with his disciples were recorded.柏拉图，作为苏格拉底的门徒，他为世界做出了最大的贡献，写了《对话》，这是苏格拉底的生活和思想的集合，很像《对话》他的论语，其中孔子的教学和他与他的弟子的对话被记录下来。
