You are invited to the ninth lecture by Mag. Rozmanova entitled Questioning as the Starting Point of All Knowledge. So-called Western philosophy is defined by a simple fundamental question: "Why is the world the way it is?" We attribute the separation of myth from logos to the Greeks, and this question was by no means self-evident, especially not in the despotically organized political systems of neighboring civilizations, which in many ways surpassed the Greeks. Why did the Greeks manage to think differently, and how does this difference still characterize Western culture today?

Key topics:

– The origin of Greek thought stems from the organization of the Greek polis
– The beginnings of Greek philosophy as the separation of myth from logos
– Pre-Socratics
– The Socratic method of questioning
