Compare and contrast Hellenic thought with the philosophy of the Hellenistic Age.
What will be an ideal response?
Early Greek philosophy was concerned with causation and observation of the natural world, but later took a turn to the more internalized philosophy of ethical standing under Socrates. Socrates' questioning of what is right and true was a new phenomenon that surpassed the earlier philosophers, who were concerned with explaining the world around them. Plato's building on that idea created a metaphysical idea and blended it with the political world in the republic. Hellenistic philosophers such as Zeno and Epicurus, each a materialist, argued that individuals could achieve satisfaction through introspection and ethical behavior. This emphasis on the individual differed greatly from both the Archaic and Golden Ages.
