Is there “something” beyond what is called the “real world”? That “something” (which the website's author arbitrarily labels the “Nth Dimension”) is the broad topic of the website.

From the Desk of Doctor T

Greek and Roman Philosophers

A post published in the What's New? Newsletter for May 11, 2020 was about the early Greek philosophers and another post published in June 8 of this year was about Pythagoras. This post briefly presents the story of other early Greek and Roman philosophers.

The Cynics

Cynicism is the belief that the purpose of life is to live in virtue, in agreement with nature. Antisthenes (c. 445 - 365 BC), a disciple of Socrates, is said to have first promoted Cynicism. [1]

Antisthenes

The most famous of the Cynics was Diogenes of Sinope, known as Diogenes the Cynic, carried Cynicism to its limits. Besides Diogenes the Cynic, Antisthenes influenced Crates of Thebes and Zeno of Citium. [2]

The Epicureans

Epicureans favor long-term gratification over immediate gratification and mental gratification over bodily gratification. Epicurus (341 - 270 BC) pioneered Epicureanism. [3]

Epicurus

Epicurus introduced the notion of the atom. Epicurus significance was noted by Diogenes Laertius, Philodemus, Lucretius, and Cicero. [2]

The Stoics

Stoics promoted self-control. Zeno of Citium (c. 300 BC), a disciple of Crates of Thebes, developed Stoicism. [4]

Zeno

Cleanthes, a discilple of Zeno, and Chrysippus, a disciple of Cleanthes, followed Stoicism, And, Seneca, Epictetus. and Marcus Airelius also followed Stoicism. [2]

The Skeptics ( i.e., The Sceptics in the UK)

Skepticism (i.e., Scepticism in the UK) is the belief that one ought to doubt absolute truths. Gorgias (c. 487 - 376 BC), one of the Sophists, embraced Skepticism (i.e., Scepticism in the UK). [5]

Gorgias

Knowledge and truth are recurring topics in philosophy. And, the posit ion of the Skeptics (i.e., Sceptics in the UK) was to question everything. [2]

The Neo-Platonics

Plotinus (c. 204 - 270 AD), the Egyptian philosopher, was the founder of Neo-Platonism. Neo- Platonism is “generally a religious philosophy, combining a form of idealistic Monism with elements of Polytheism.”. [6]

Plotinus

Later, the influence of the Neo-Platonics extended to the Middle Ages. For example, Platonism influenced Jewish thinkers such as Solomon ibn Gabirol and Isaac the Blind as well as Islamic and Sufi thinkers such as al-Farabi, Avicenna, and Maimonides. [6]
