THE HISTORY OF GREEK PHILOSOPHY

Greek civilization laid the foundations of our contemporary Western culture - it is in Ancient Greece, specifically in Miletus, where the origins of philosophy are to be found.

The book begins with the Seven Sages of Greece and with Thales of Miletus, the first man to attempt to explain natural phenomena through science rather than myth.

MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING.

The big question: What meaning does life have for human beings?

According to Viktor Frankl (1905-1997), author of the book “Man’s Search for Meaning”, there is not one single meaning to life, rather there are as many meanings as there are people on Earth. It’s not about the search for an abstract, universal purpose of life; it’s more about looking for a purpose in each of the stages of one’s progression through life. These individual stages will be determined by an overall mission, a greater goal.
