Philosophers

These wise men were once great people who were considered “lovers of wisdom.” They questioned the world around them. Three philosophers who were well known back in the Golden Age were, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Socrates encouraged Greeks to go farther, to question themselves and their mortal character. Plato was another great philosopher. He wrote a book called, “The Republic.” In the book he explained his vision for a perfectly governed city. Plato believed that all citizens should fall into different groups. Aristotle questioned the nature of the world and human thought, belief and knowledge. He also invented the scientific method.

Pericles Man of Gold

The Golden Age is a time of peace and prosperity. Usually new inventions and ideas were made and there are many achievements in art and architecture. The Golden Age in Greece took place from 461B.C. to 429B.C. Pericles ruled the during the Golden Age. This ruler had three specific policies that people had to live by. The first rule was to strengthen democracy. The second rule was to strengthen the Athenian Empire and the last rule was to glorify Athens.

Do you think the Golden Age was a bad or good time in history?
