Plato for sure... I was just re-reading the Republic recently and admiring all over again how very well he picked an issue apart by answering every question with another question until getting to the root of it. If only we all did that!

Aristotle applied to the Academy in Athens headed by Plato. Plato asked Aristotle what he knew about. "I know nothing" was his reply. To which Plato exclaimed "There is a truly wise man!"\n\nSocrates, Plato's teacher often stated that his wisdom was limited to an awareness of his own ignorance. So you have at the very least the beginnings of true wisdom!\n\nYou may be aspirisng to learn so much that it seems impossible to take everything in - which actually could help you do well motivating you to work harder; provided you don't get so frustrated that you give up because you really are attempting to accomplish the impossible: to learn it all.\n\nNot even a Noble prize winner would know every aspect of their subject. The usually know what's important in the field and specialise in the areas they find most interesting, that they are good at. \n\nMy tip to you is follow Pareto's "80:20" rule. Focus your efforts on the 20% of knowledge that will get you 80% of your exam marks. The remaining 20% of marks should be the areas you are weak at or don't like so you don't have to worry about those as you can still get a first if you threw all those remaining 20% marks away! \n\nFind out which areas you enjoy and focus on your strenghts. You will be more motivated if you play to your strenghts and learn what you enjoy, don't worry about weaknesses (unless you can mitigate them easily) as you do not need PERFECTION you just need PROGRESS!!!

Plato quoted it:\n\n"Remember how in that communion only, beholding beauty with the eye of the mind, he will be enabled to bring forth, not images of beauty, but realities (for he has hold not of an image but of a reality), and bringing forth and nourishing true virtue to become the friend of God and be immortal, if mortal man may."\n\nN.B.: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Confucious teaching started a whole new religion/philosophy called Confuciamism.\nDuring the Qin Dynasty in china,Qin Shihuang banned confucianism and executed anyone found hiding books on it.He also burnt most of the texts on confucianism.\nCenturies after that,rulers saw the value of Confucian teachings and used them as a basis for ruling. During the Han Dynasty,Confucianism became the state ideology(a set of beliefs on which people or countries base their actions on).People who wanted to work for the Chinese Government back them had to pass examinations which tested them on the teachings of Confucius.\nThe values that confucius imparted have lasted till today(since Ancient China thousands of years ago) and are still as relevant as ever.Many people still learn about Confucianism and practice it till today.\n\nIs this what you're looking for(u should be more specific)?Hope it is.If not you can tell me :)

Pericles was educated by the sophist Daman (who taught him politics), by Zeno the Eleatic (who taught him argumentation), and by Anaxagoras (who taught him nobility of purpose and character). Largely due to the teachings of Anaxagoras, Pericles was very careful of the way in which he spoke, and what he chose to say.\n\nPericles was born into the best families of Athens, both on his father's and mother's side.  He received a good education from his teachers, including the philosopher Zeno.  So adept was Zeno at sophistry that it was said Zeno could prove any proposition to be false. 1 \n    Pericles learned most from Anaxagoras, who imparted to young Pericles the majesty and gravity he had in all his sayings and doings, superior to all arts of popularity.  Anaxagoras was the first philospher to attribute the order of the world to intelligence, rather than to chance or necessity, and to explain power as the affinity of similar things.  With his mind occupied by such thoughts, Pericles was dignified in his language and serene and calm in his movements.   Nothing could shake his majestic composure.

No, but Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates were.

Pythagoras, the famous mathematician and contemporary of Socrates among the Greek philosophers belonged to the 6th century B.C.(569 - 475 B.C.) Apastamba Sulba Sutra, a set of mathematical formulas and principles belonged to 8th century B.C. and was in use in India which contains a list of Pythagorian Triples. It is indicative of the fact that Pythagoras learnt it from India before teaching the Greeks. Accoding to Albert Burk, Pythagoras copied it on his visit to India. Lecky in his 'History of European Morals' quotes an old tradition in Greece that Pythagoras had learnt in India from gymnosophists.\n\nPythagoras was a vegetarian and believed in transformation of human soul. He believed and lived like Indians that only by purifying your body you can attain divine powers and at the end merge with divinity. Hence, he insisted that a disciple should first be formally initiated by a preceptor who himself must be pure so that he can impart knowledge to others. Hindu thought also exerted a great influence on ancient Greek thought as M.E. Pococke shows in his 'India in Greece'.It is believed that besides Pythagoras, Appolonius, Democritus, Anaxarchus and Pyrrho also visited India. According to Lucianus, the Golden Philosophy first descended upon "the Indians, the mightiest nation upon the earth".\n\nThe famous Pythagorean Theorem was not in use for five hundred years after death of Pythagoras. It was Cicero and Plutarch who attributed the theorem to Pythagoras, though according to Sir Thomas L. Heath, there is no attribution by Pythagoras himself during his lifetime.

I am taking that class now in college and I believe that some of the concepts are beyond what some teachers are capable of teaching. It takes my professor a while to explain it to people in three diffrent ways. I though have had some courses in high school that connect with the subject. So some hhigh schools are teaching parts but not all of it.

What is the story about?  What does it teach us?

I'd start with Will Durant's book "The Story of Philosophy", it is fantastic.  He goes through history describing all the major philosophers\n\nAristotle, Plato, for the classic philosophers, are a good start

Read Plato's Symposium for a better understanding of love. Whatever it is, love is often nothing.

I don't think I can easily sum up the argument except to point out that Plato believed each individual owed a duty not just to himself but to the State (the community he lives in), and therefore a just life is more appropriate to this duty.\n\nBut again, the reasoning here is complicated and deserves some thought.

I believe the first mother 'taught' her child to do stuff.  But as for the first official docent?  Sorry, I  do not know, but I do know that there are references to schooling in the bible for the priests I believe.  \n\nSocrates and Aristotle were both teachers.  How about the ancient Egyptians?
