Ancient Greek philosophy started in the 6th century BC and continued during the Hellenistic period and Roman Empire.
Philosophy was a way to think about the world.
The term was invented in Greece.
Back then it included the sciences, maths, politics, and ethics.
Greek philosophy is one of the foundations of Western culture.
It has been referred to in Rome, Islamic philosophy, and the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment.
Greek philosophy may have been somewhat influenced by the ancient Near East.
Some of the most important philosophers are Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato.
Alexander the Great even learned Greek philosophy before conquering the Persian empire.
Many philosophers thought mathematics was important to all knowledge, and Euclid was one of the founders of mathematical thought.
He wrote a famous book on geometry called The Elements.
Before Socrates
Many sophists were active, including Protagoras.
They are known mostly from what Socrates said against them.
Pythagoras may have been a mystic or a rationalist.
We do not know that much.
He is known for the Pythagorean theorem.
Classical Greek philosophy
Socrates may have been born in Athens in the 5th century BCE.
He was very important.
Athens was a center of learning.
People went there to talk about ideas.
However, it became a crime to philosophize.
Some people were accused.
But Socrates was the only one who was killed in 399 BCE (see Trial of Socrates).
In his defense speech (presented by Plato), he says it's because others were jealous.
Many of his conversations end without a conclusion.
So he is known for the Socratic method.
Socrates taught that no one wants what is bad, and so if anyone does something bad, it must be unintentional out of ignorance; he concludes that all virtue is knowledge.
He often talks about his own ignorance.
Aristotle influenced Plato's dialogues and Plato's student Aristotle.
Their ideas influenced the Roman empire, the Islamic Golden Age, and the Renaissance.
Plato was from Athens.
He came a generation after Socrates.
He wrote thirty-six dialogues and thirteen letters to Socrates, though some may be fake.
Plato's dialogues have Socrates.
Along with Xenophon, Plato is the primary source of information about Socrates' life.
Socrates was known for irony and not often giving own opinions.
Plato wrote the Republic, the Laws, and the Statesman.
The Republic says there will not be justice in cities unless they are ruled by philosopher kings; those who enforcing the laws should treat their women, children, and property in common; and the individual should tell noble lies to promote the common good.
The Republic says that such a city is likely impossible as it thinks philosophers would refuse to rule and the people would refuse to be ruled by philosophers.
Plato is known for his theory of forms.
It says that there are non-physical abstract ideas that have the highest form and most real kind of reality.
Aristotle moved to Athens in 367 BC and began to study philosophy.
He studied at Plato's Academy.
He left Athens twenty years later to study botany and zoology.
He became a teacher of Alexander the Great and returned to Athens ten years later to create his own school: the Lyceum.
At least twenty-nine of his books have survived, known as the corpus Aristotelicum.
He wrote about logic, physics, optics, metaphysics, ethics, rhetoric, politics, poetry, botany, and zoology.
Aristotle disagreed with his teacher Plato.
He criticizes the governments in Plato's Republic and Laws, and refers to the theory of forms as "empty words and poetic metaphors."
He cares more about empirical observation and practical concerns.
Aristotle was not that famous during the Hellenistic period, when Stoic logic was still popular.
But later people popularized his work, which influenced Islamic, Jewish, and Christian philosophy.
Avicenna referred to him simply as "the Master"; Maimonides, Alfarabi, Averroes, and Aquinas referred to him as "the Philosopher."
Hellenistic philosophy
During the Hellenistic and Roman periods, many different schools of thought developed in the Hellenistic world and the Greco-Roman world.
Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Syrians and Arabs who contributed.
Persian philosophy and Indian philosophy also had an influence.
The spread of Christianity followed by the spread of Islam further spread Hellenistic philosophy.
It influenced the three Abrahamic traditions: Jewish philosophy, Christian philosophy, and early Islamic philosophy.
During the Middle Ages, Greek ideas were largely forgotten in Western Europe due to the Migration Period, which caused a decline in literacy.
In the Byzantine Empire Greek ideas were kept and studied.
After the expansion of Islam, the Abbasid caliphs started translating Greek philosophy.
Islamic philosophers such as Al-Kindi (Alkindus), Al-Farabi (Alpharabius), Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Ibn Rushd (Averroes) reinterpreted these works.
During the High Middle Ages Greek philosophy re-entered the West through translations from Arabic to Latin and also from the Byzantine Empire.
Still Arab translators threw away books that disagreed with Islam.
For example,  Al-Mansur Ibn and Abi Aamir burned the Al-hakam II library in Córdoba in 976.

Sør-Varanger (Northern Sami: Máttá-Várjjat, Kven: Etelä-Varenki, Finnish: Etelä-Varanki, Russian: Сёр-Вара́нгер) is a municipality in the county of Troms og Finnmark, Norway.
The administrative centre of the municipality is the town of Kirkenes.
Other settlements in the municipality include the villages of Bjørnevatn, Bugøynes, Elvenes, Grense Jakobselv, Hesseng, Jakobsnes, Neiden, and Sandnes.
Located west of the Norway–Russia border, Sør-Varanger is the only Norwegian municipality that shares a land border with Russia, with the only legal border crossing at Storskog.
For some time until 1826, Sør-Varanger was a district that (at the same time) belonged to Russia and Norway; there was an Eastern Sami (østsamisk) population; the population was under Russia's jurisdiction.
Norway's government had a fear that the county could be lost to Finland or Russia; Finland was under Russian domination (or rule) during 1809 - 1918.
Part of the fear was that Finnish-speaking Kven people would help Finland/Russia, to take Northern areas, away from [the government of] Norway.
(Cwenas is the Old English name for a group of people of Finnish heritage; this group immigrated to North Norway - from Finland and Sweden.)
Hurricane Harvey was a 2017 tropical cyclone, the 8th named storm, 3rd hurricane, and the 1st major hurricane of the hyperactive 2017 Atlantic hurricane season.
Harvey was also the 3rd consecutive hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season—after Franklin and Gert.
The storm went through the Caribbean and Mexico.
It threatened southern Texas, particularly the Corpus Christi and Victoria areas.
The storm struck the state as a Category 4 hurricane on August 25.
The storm first developed on August 17, 2017, from a tropical wave to the east of the Lesser Antilles.
It faded into an open tropical wave on August 19.
But on August 24, Harvey redeveloped into a tropical storm, and then strengthened into a hurricane.
On August 25, Harvey rapidly strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of at least 130 mph, and it made landfall in Texas as a low-end Category 4 hurricane.
On August 26, Harvey stalled and rapidly weakened into a tropical storm in just a few hours after making landfall, resulting of dumping heavy rainfall and caused major and catastrophic flooding in parts of southeastern Texas especially the Houston metropolitan area.
Damage from Harvey was set around $125 billion.
This and Hurricane Katrina in 2005 are both tied as the costliest tropical cyclones on record in the Atlantic and the United States history.
Harvey is the wettest tropical cyclone on record in the United States, especially in Texas with rainfall accumulations of over 60 inches.
The name Harvey was retired in April 2018 by the World Meteorological Organization and was replaced with Harold for the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season.

The problem begins one second after this time.
The computer will add 1 to this 32-bit number, and the computer will set the value to negative 2,147,483,648 seconds.
This means 13th December 1901 at 20:45:52 UTC.
Depending on how the computer has been programmed, the computer could behave incorrectly or even stop running.
A solution to this problem is to store the time in a 64-bit value, which will work for billions of years.
Many computers already store the time in a 64-bit number.
Computers that store time in a 32-bit number will need to be reprogrammed before 2038.

Dravida Kazhagam (or Dravidar Kazhagam, "Dravidian Organization") was one of the first Dravidian parties in India.
The party was founded by Periyar.
Its original goals were to eradicate the ills of the existing caste system including untouchability and to obtain a "Dravida Nadu" (Dravidian nation) from the Madras Presidency i.e., a separate nation from India for Dravidian people alone.
Dravidar Kazhagam gave birth to many other political parties including Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.
Dravidar Kazhagam is now headed by K.Veeramani.
Foundation and Ideology
The roots of the Dravidar Kazhagam lie in the Self-Respect Movement and Justice party, founded by Periyar E. V. Ramasamy.
Periyar formed the Self-Respect Movement in 1925, breaking in the process from the Indian National Congress party, of which he had been a member until then.
The Justice Party, formed in 1916, also claimed to promote similar interests.
The two entities merged in 1938 under Periyar's leadership.
The name was changed to Dravidar Kazhagam in 1944.
Its central theme was to remove the degraded status imposed on Dravidians, and to denote this, the party adopted a black flag with a red circle inside it, the black signifying their degradation and the red denoting the movement for upliftment.
It opposed Brahminical social, political and ritual dominance, and aimed to form a separate country of Dravida Nadu, to include either all of South India or the predominantly Tamil-speaking regions.

James Young Simpson (born June 7, 1811 in Scotland) was a qualified doctor by the age of 21 but changed to work as a clerk, due to his traumatic reaction to witnessing mastectomies during his medical training.
He sat in several lecture courses as a student, but the anatomical lecture by a Doctor Knox made him choose the career path of midwifery and obstetrics.
He became a qualified professor of midwifery at the age of 29, in 1840.
Due to his traumatizing observations of surgery as a student, he decided to experiment with anesthetics.
He tried using ether and chloroform, but refused to use ether due to its bad odor.
He discovered the anesthetic properties of chloroform, using it in obstetrics, to make childbirth easier and safer.
He also invented a new design for the forceps, to make them safer to use.
They are now known as "Simpsons' forceps".
He was one of the earliest doctors to use midwifes in hospitals.
Chloroform was a good idea, as it put people to sleep, making surgical procedures safer, pain-free, and better for the individuals.
It was recognized as an achievement when Queen Victoria herself received chloroform to give birth to her fourth child.
