Document Summary
The pre-socratics (non-mythological thinking, appeal to the natural ) Socrates (died 399 b. c. e. ) charged with corrupting the youth and worshiping false gods. After them: neo-platism, post-aristotleanism, reinvention of the wheel. Contemporary = may 19th, 1838 @ 10:30am. Nietzsche (1844-1900) god is dead demonstration of contemporary new values. Monoism (everything can be explained with one thing, arche) Nature is neither good nor bad (ex. A comet struck the earth and wiped out the dinosaurs, neither a good thing or a bad thing it just happens; shit happens) Some say everything that happens is accidental, there is no plan because there is no god, nothing is divine. The star of bethlehem: yet oh god, there were so many stars you could have used . 3 features of the star: perished innocent, undeserving, completely destroyed, no survivors, their sun was a sign, seemingly insignificant in the divine scheme of things; used as a means to further our human ends.
