Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle By: Kara, week 11

Socrates, Plato, and Aritstotle were ancient Greek philosophers who lived close to the Golden Ages.  Socrates believed in Truth.  He was interested in asking men what they believed in and if they would have happy lives.  Plato was considered one of the greatest philosophers.  "Plato" comes from the word "plateau" which means "broad."  Plato had a bright student named Aristotle who was very smart and keen although he disagreed with his teacher on many things.  Aristotle valued facts about animals, vegetables, and minerals.  His father was a physician who worked for the King of Macedonia.
